“This book contains insightful accounts of today’s most pressing human challenges, while also filling a critical gap in the capability approach (CA) on sustainable development, particularly related to intergenerational justice. … the book is a must-read for understanding development, sustainability, and climate change politics, particularly offering thoughtful discussions on how these concepts and actions attend to the most marginalised. To move forward, the book proposes integrating the CA with human rights language and a human security perspective.” (Paola Velasco-Herrejón, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, June 19, 2022)“Sustainability, Capability, and Human Security encourages us to reflect on how we could construct a theoretical framework for sustainable human development based on the Capability Approach. It significantly advances the debates on this subject and constitutes a benchmark for those who would like to prolong them.” (Jerome Ballet, Ecological Economics, Vol. 184, 2021)
