The book explores the social and cultural sustainability of coastal communities in transition through the lens of childhood, shedding light on the shifting and dynamic interplay between education, knowledge production, society, and working life in coastal environments from an intergenerational perspective. Key points include the current threat to the social and cultural sustainability of coastal communities in different local and national contexts, the centrality of processes of intergenerational transmission of local knowledge to the preservation and development of sustainable coastal communities, the central role of children and young people as actors in creating sustainable livelihoods, economies, and knowledge in coastal communities for the future, and the practices across different country contexts. The book will address the challenges to sustainability experienced by local communities in light of local, national, and global social and economic changes, looking at these challenges cross-nationally and through the lens of childhood, and knowledge production across generations, providing a much-needed perspective in ongoing discussion on sustainability in coastal communities.
