Some useful sources

Scholarship within social policy and the climate crisis has remained relatively fragmented and disparate to date, with a variety of approaches in operation, ranging from simple linkages of social policy and the environment through to contemporary concepts such as ‘eco social welfare’, ‘sustainable welfare’, ‘eco social state’, ‘eco-social policy’, and ‘sustainable wellbeing’. With this list, we provide what we consider to be key texts and resources that cut across these different debates, ranging from early seminal texts through to contemporary advances, spanning academic and grey literature, arranged by output type.
