Seeking innovative answers to the prevailing global sustainability challenge has become an urgent need with the rapid environmental and ecological degradation that surrounds us today. More than ever, there is a need to carve out new ways for citizens and different industries and institutions to cooperate, communicate and collaborate to address sustainability concerns.

This book examines one way such collaboration could be achieved, focussing on the work of The BGreen Project (BGreen): a participatory action research platform that carries out youth-focussed activities in Bangladesh and the United States with the aim of addressing environmental issues via community engagement. By analysing and unpicking the architecture of BGreen, Hasan teases out the key factors that are required for the continued momentum of environmentally focused, community-academic partnerships projects in order to present a workable model that could be applied elsewhere. This model is based around a unique conceptual framework developed by the author- ‘transnational participatory networks’ – which is drawn from participatory action research and actor network theory, with the specific aim of addressing the common challenge of building evolving, stable and sustainable networks.

This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental communication, citizen participation, environmental politics, environmental sociology and sustainable development.
