It explores energy problem framing, policy approaches and practical responses to the challenge of securing clean, affordable and sustainable energy for all citizens, focusing on households as the main unit of analysis. The book revolves around ten contributions that each summarise national trends, socio-material characteristics, and policy responses to contemporary energy issues affecting householders in different countries, and provides good practice examples for designing and implementing sustainable energy initiatives. Prominent concerns include reducing carbon emissions, energy poverty, sustainable consumption, governance, practices, innovations and sustainable lifestyles. The opening and closing contributions consider European level energy policy, dominant and alternative problem framings and similarities and differences between European countries in relation to reducing household energy use. Overall, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and others interested in sustainable energy perspectives.Publication Negotiating colonialism: Gaelic reaction to English expansion in early modern Ireland, c.1541–1641(Historical Geography Research Group, Royal Geographical Society, 2003) Morrissey, John[No abstract available]Publication The Long War: CENTCOM, grand strategy, and global security(University of Georgia Press, 2017-06-15) Morrissey, John[No abstract available]Publication Spatial justice and the Irish crisis(Royal Irish Academy, 2014) Kearns, Gerry; Meredith, David; Morrissey, John; Kearns, G., Meredith, D. and Morrissey, J.; |~|1267880|~|[No abstract available]Publication The sustainability of rural systems: global and local challenges and opportunities(Commission on the Sustainability of Rural Systems of the International Geographical Union and the Whitaker Institute, National University of Ireland Galway, 2013) Cawley, Mary; de S. M. Bicalho, Ana Maria; Laurens, LucetteThe chapters in this volume were among papers presented at the 19th Colloquium of the Commission on the Sustainability of Rural Systems (CSRS) of the International Geographical Union, held at the National University of Ireland Galway, in August 2011. The chapters were peer reviewed. They are organised under four main thematic headings which reflect key research interests of CSRS members: Land Use, Agriculture and Food; Rural Population; Rural Development; Rural Tourism. The chapters are preceded by an Introduction by Mary Cawley and the text of four keynote lectures. Guy M. Robinson conceptualises agricultural sustainability with reference to local challenges in a global context. Michael Woods invokes the ‘relational politics of the rural’ as a framework for gaining insights into global challenges and responses. Ana Maria de S. M. Bicalho and Lucette Laurens illustrate how local actors exercise agency in responding to contemporary challenges in the very differing environments of Amazonia and the environs of Montpellier in France. The volume ends with the text of a fifth keynote lecture by Tony Sorensen who encourages geographers to expand their theoretical frameworks in studying the sustainability of rural systems.
