ZIN speaker Prof'in Doris Fuchs is co-editor of a handbook on Global Sustainability Governance

At the end of October, ZIN spokeswoman Prof'in Doris Fuchs, Agni Kalfagianni (Associate Professor at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, University of Utrecht, Netherlands) and Anders Hayden (Associate Professor of Environmental Policy, Department of Political Science, Dalhousie University, Canada) published the Routledge Handbook of Global Sustainability Governance.

In the handbook, renowned international academics highlight important analytical and normative perspectives, material and non-material structural barriers, and opportunities for real sustainability transformation and systemic change in relation to current research findings (Kalfagianni, Fuchs & Hayden, 2019).
Doris Fuchs is also the author of the chapter "Living Well within Limits: the Vision of Consumption Corridors". The chapter starts from the central problem of excessive consumption and discusses various concepts to counter it. The concept of consumption corridors and ways of implementing them are discussed in more detail. ZIN junior scholar Tobias Gumbert also contributed a chapter to this book, namely "Materiality and Nonhuman Agency". It argues that alternative notions of materiality and the recognition of the capacity of non-humans to act enable a critical perspective on the normative foundations and conceptual instruments of global sustainability governance.
