Local Governance in Transition presents a framework for conversations around technological, ecological, and economic challenges – and encourages innovative thinking for those interested in exploring sustainable solutions.

Nature-First Cities recognizes nature as the lead architect in the most essential of restoration projects – our cities.

Sustainable Energy Transitions in Canada brings together experts from across the country to share their perspectives on how energy systems can respond to climate change, enhance social justice, respect local cultures and traditions – and still make financial sense.

Sea Change takes stock of what we know about Canada’s changing oceans, offering a wealth of practical information to support the task of building resilient, sustainable oceans and ocean communities.

Protecting the Coast and Ocean, the first comprehensive guide to marine protection law in British Columbia, analyzes and compares the legal tools available to reverse ocean decline.

Against the Tides tells the compelling story of the rehabilitation of the Maritime marshlands, a project that reshaped not only the landscape of the Bay of Fundy region but the communities that depended on it.

Making Muskoka traces the first decades of Muskoka’s transformation from Indigenous homeland to a part-time playground for tourists and cottagers and uncovers the consequences for those who lived there year-round.

The Government of Natural Resources is a revealing look at how science can extend state power through territorial and environmental transformations.

Born with a Copper Spoon tells the fascinating and far-reaching story of one of the world’s most important metals.

As unprecedented heat waves, storms of the century, and devastating fires impact cities across the country, the time to create climate resilient communities is now. While large-scale innovations in policy and technology are necessary to preserve the planet, the wisest and most lasting adaptation solutions originate at the local level. Each chapter will help readers scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small group can pull off in a handful of weekends, like tree plantings or depaving parties, to advocating for change at the municipal level through coalition-building and data collection. It’s not too late for people of all ages and skill levels to create climate safe neighborhoods.    

Water Management fills a critical gap: providing a base of knowledge to understand and manage complex water problems. It is geared primarily towards students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, but will also be a helpful resource for practicing water professionals who are looking for new ideas or a broader view of the subject. This text explores the entire gamut of water issues, from dams to desalination, from prior appropriation to pumped storage, from sanitation to stormwater. Rather than teaching from one disciplinary perspective, it examines water through a variety of lenses: hydrology, climate science, ecology, and engineering, but also law, economics, history, and environmental justice. The result is a comprehensive introduction to one of the most demanding challenges of our time: developing just and sustainable solutions to water management.

Climate tech is critical for averting planetary chaos. Half the greenhouse gas reductions required to reach “net-zero” climate targets in 2050 will need to come from technologies that have not yet been invented.  Making Climate Tech Work is an insightful analysis of how smart government policies can make those technologies a reality. Which approaches can lead us to a sustainable economy, and which are likely to fall short? Learn how Denmark became a wind energy superpower, Germany incentivized renewables, Australia phased out incandescent bulbs, and why carbon taxes have failed around the world – but could be designed for success. Alon Tal expertly distills each policy’s benefits and drawbacks, along with related ethical questions and public perceptions. The result is an essential primer for anyone interested in accelerating climate tech solutions.
