The present edited volume-‘Environment, Sustainability and Society: Interdisciplinary Approaches’ seeks to enrich interdisciplinary discourse by examining the intricate interconnections between environmental protection and sustainable human progress. Over the years, sustainable development has progressed from a conceptual policy framework to a fundamental global agenda.

The landmark publication of the Brundtland Commission Report in 1987, followed by the formulation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), has reinforced the importance of pursuing balanced and integrated approaches to address environmental and developmental concerns. This volume endeavours to contribute to these ongoing discussions by presenting diverse theoretical insights, empirical investigations, and policy-oriented perspectives.

This book brings together a broad spectrum of topics that are central to contemporary sustainability debates, including environmental governance, climate change resilience and adaptation, green criminology and eco-equity, management of natural resources, sustainable agricultural practices, sustainability in e-waste management renewable energy transitions, environmental crimes, ecological economics, and technological innovations for sustainability. The contributors come from varied academic disciplines and research traditions, thereby reflecting the interdisciplinary character that defines environmental and sustainability studies today.

Designed as a comprehensive academic resource, this volume aims to serve researchers, scholars, faculty members, policymakers, development professionals, and postgraduate students seeking a deeper understanding of pressing environmental challenges and sustainable development pathways. It is anticipated that the chapters presented herein will inspire critical reflection, stimulate future research endeavours, and contribute to informed policymaking aimed at fostering a more sustainable and equitable future.

The publication of this edited volume has been made possible through the dedicated efforts and scholarly contributions of all chapter authors, whose expertise and commitment have significantly enhanced the intellectual quality of the work. I extend my sincere appreciation to the reviewers for their valuable observations and constructive recommendations, which have played an important role in strengthening the academic rigor and overall quality of the chapters
