Mitigating and adapting to it is certain to require new ways of living. Thus far efforts to promote less resource-intensive habits and routines have centred on typically limited understandings of individual agency, choice and change. This book shows how much more the social sciences have to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors to \u003ci\u003eSustainable Practices: Social Theory and Climate Change\u003c\/i\u003e come from different disciplines - sociology, geography, economics and philosophy - but are alike in taking social theories of practice as a common point of reference.
