Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The impact of the econom ic turndown in 2008, brought sustainability issues to the forefront of public debate as the realities of climate change, and society’s response to it, gain higher visibility. As a result, t he green economy is gaining global traction as it is evident i n South African policy frameworks and investment. In this new environment, human or social capital is fast becoming the foundation of sustainable businesses. The pursuit of green jobs is seen as a key economic driver in the 21st century, creating a green pathway out of poverty. Shifting the economy from business as usual to a low carbon, resource efficient, resilient and inclusive sustainable economy will involve large scale investment in new technologies, equipment, buildings, and infrastructure, research and development and skills training and could thus be a major stimulus for much-needed employment (UNEP, 2008:3). The focus of this to study is to investigate, career opportunities for graduates of the programme in Sustainable Development, offered by the School of Public Leadership (SPL) at Stellenbosch University. The question is asked if future careers in sustainability-related fields are secured for these graduates. The problem statement was formulated to determine possible challenges that graduates might face from advancing in their careers. I have aimed to address this problem by exploring the prospects for employment in various sustainability-related fields. The re search objectives are to: a) attain clarity regarding graduates` understanding and awareness of available careers in sustainability-related fields; b) to investigate attempts, tools and processes through which graduates could develop careers in the sustainability-related fields; and c) To confirm the graduates` employment status, pre-and post-graduation. My study will aim to demonstrate that more research needs to be conducted related to career guidance to prepare a new workforce, with skills and career knowledge to enter career opportunities in green economy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die impak van die wêreld ressessie in 2008 het volhoubare ontwikkelingskwessies skerper na vore gebring. Dit het die noodsaaklikheid van `n groen ekonomie verder beklemtoon. In hierdie omgewing word menslike kapitaal belangriker vir be sighede wat wil oorskakel na die groen ekonomie. Die soektog na groen werk word gesien as `n hoof ekonomiese aandrywer in the twintigste eeu, wat `n uitweg uit armoede kan bied. Die skuif van `n huidige besigheidsmodel na `n lae koolstof, effektiewe hulpbron gebruik, weerstandige en inklusiewe, volhoubare ekonomie vereis `n besondere gro ot investering in nuwe tegnologie, toerusing, geboue, infrastruktuur, navorsing en onwikkeling, en vaardigheidsopleiding. Hierdie beweging kan moontlik `n stimuli wees vir broodnodige werkskepping (UNEP, 2008:3). Hierdie studie ondersoek die onderlinge verband tussen die ontstaan en ontwikkeling van die groen ekonomie in Suid Afrika en werksgeleenthede wat moontlik daaruit mag voortvloei vir gegradueerdes van die program in volhoubare ontwikkeling by die Skool vir Publieke Leierskap by die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Die vraag wat ek gestel het is of toekomstige beroepe in volhoubare ontwikkelingsgebiede bestendig is vir hierdie gegradueerdes. Die probleemstelling was geformuleer om die volgende navorsings doelstellings te ondersoek: a) gegradueerdes se huidige en toekomstige beroeps verwagtinge, begrip en bewustheid van beskikbare beroepe in volhoubare onwikkelings verbandte velde b) pogings, gereedskap, en metodes waarmee gegradueerdes hulle beroepe in volhoubare ontwikkelings velde sou kon ontwikkel; en c) om gegradueerdes se werksnemings status vas te stel voor en nadat gegraduering plaasgevind het. My studie poog om te demonstreer dat meer navorsing gedoen moet word rakende beroeps opleiding om so`n nuwe werksmag voor te berei met vaardighede en kennis wat hulle in staat stel om werksgeleenthede in die groen ekonomie te kan betree.

In this dissertation project, I examine the ways in which a grassroots environmental organization, the Upper French Broad Defense Association (UFBDA), was able to contribute knowledge and voice concerns regarding a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) proposal between 1961 and 1972. The TVA proposal included a plan for comprehensive water resource development in western North Carolina which would have required in the implementation of 14 dams, flooding of more than 18,000 fertile agricultural acres and displacing 600 families from their ancestral homes. In order to complete this dissertation project, I explored two archival collections pertaining to the UFBDA. Based on my findings in the archives, I provide new understandings of how grassroots environmentalism works, particularly in terms of how environmentalists use language in order to participate in decisions about the environment. More specifically, this dissertation documents how members of the UFBDA were able to describe the western North Carolina landscape as a commons and not a wilderness, work together across counties to create new opportunities to share their concerns over the TVA project, and establish their own credibility as knowledgeable citizens about their local environment. By highlighting specific components of the UFBDA's work, this dissertation provides examples that can be used by future grassroots environmental organization facing similar challenges regarding environmental controversies.

Full textAround the world environmental conflicts are invading new spatial and symbolic spaces. This process has been described as the “environmentalization” of social struggles, whereby ecological issues are increasingly used to both legitimate and contest political and scientific structures and practices. This dissertation responds to the need to examine the motives and strategies of resistance to environmental dispossession, considering the forms they take, the values they express and the meanings we can ascribe to them. I do so firstly by examining specific sites of resistance and then broadening out through multi-case analysis. Finally I introduce a framework for a cross-comparative “statistical political ecology” that aims to integrate activist knowledge with social and biophysical data. I start by asking the overarching questions: (i) How are such conflicts expressing themselves? (ii) What are the politics such groups are employing? (iii) and to what effect? I then refine these into five sub-research questions (a) under which conditions does effective resistance against a commodity resource frontier emerge? (b) What are the politics of knowledge employed by such movements? (c) How can we understand how they pick their strategies and tactics to stake their claims? (d) What are the inter-connections of groups mobilizing across scales? (e) And how can a political ecological/ecological economics analysis be put to use to support such struggles? To examine these questions, I engage with concepts from ecological conflicts, forms of environmentalism, accumulation by dispossession, social metabolism, politics of activist knowledge and social movement theory to analyze how groups in different contexts contest power imbalances, leverage power, and how they achieve their goals and become successful in both rolling back imposed projects. Finally I am interested in the role of such activism in wider transformative agendas that can challenge broader political and institutional structures. I conclude this dissertation by bringing light to environmental conflict struggles and analyses focusing on the following five lessons: 1. Setting prices for nature is neither conducive to conservation nor to environmental justice because the technical and political process of setting prices deepens and reproduces structural inequalities with negative distributive effects; 2. The foreclosing of participation for different social actors is catalyzing new forms of participatory democracy and the co-production of “situated” technical knowledge; 3. The re-assignation of rights to biological productivity and the incorporation of actors into new agrarian structures transforms not only social relations and accumulation strategies, but also reproduces nature with profound impacts on ecosystem energetics and corresponding livelihood strategies. 4. Local movements have achieved the most success when they have been able to unite broad coalitions of groups with complex and multidimensional agendas. Environmentalist discourses are deployed as a key “apolitical” strategy by groups across scales while identity politics are both a powerful tool for mobilization as well as a divisive force that can lead to local ethnic conflict. 5. There is a need to develop new methods for analyzing the global and inter-linked aspects of localized environmental struggles, that allows going beyond dynamics at local scales to understand crucial processes and relations generating environmental inequalities at broader regional, national, and global scales. I offer such a framework within a new praxis for environmental justice research. Finally, I offer the concept of the environmentalism of the dispossessed to explain the motivations of environmental movements today. It’s defining characteristics include: the use of politics to challenge state power based on a structural critique of capitalist accumulation; a conception of the environment as being co-produced and contingent rather than being conceived a singular “nature”; informed by a “global materialism” that considers how local processes are embedded with global social metabolic flows through commodity chains; and increasingly willing to use disruptive and contentious tactics to respond to ecological dispossession. Keywords: environmental justice, political ecology, ecological conflicts, social metabolism, collaborative research, contention, activist knowledge, accumulation by dispossession, agrarian politics, capitalism, crisis, commodity chains
