This chapter examines the emerging sustainability movement on Sakhalin Island in Russia. It analyzes the dominant discourses on sustainability among the many actors involved in the island’s socioeconomic, political, cultural, and environmental transformation in order to understand the strategies employed to achieve environmental justice. It argues that the socioeconomic and environmental change on Sakhalin Island may be attributed to multinational-led offshore hydrocarbon development in the Sea of Okhotsk.Less

The chapter examines our built environment and how we spend huge amounts of money on diamond-like baubles of lavish materials and excessive space while wasting things essential to life, such as fresh water, clean air, and healthy ecologies. The chapter abductively evaluates the success and failures of contemporary movements toward sustainability and resilience, in the context of Adam Smith’s vision of doing good while also doing well.Less
