Services and the Green Economy

knowledge and understanding of sustainable economic development. Bringing
together a range of expert contributions the book analyses the role of services
and service industries in the transition to a greener economy. Framed by an
approach within environmental economic geography, chapters written by leading
researchers from a range of disciplines explore how service industries, service
firms and service activities are at heart of green economic processes. Adopting
a global perspective, it includes research from the US, Europe, South America
and Japan, providing a detailed insight into how the crucial role of service
industry activity has often been ignored in current understandings of a green
economic transition.
