Environmental politics, inclusion and ideologies and in transforming to sustainable solid waste management in Dehradun, India.

通过城市政治生态学方法，该提案旨在探索自然概念如何与社会文化和政治环境叙事联系在一起，由各利益攸关方的意图指导，针对北方（印度）小城市的10万公民的塑料隔离计划，由当地非政府组织“废物处理者”执行，这是由联合国开发计划署和印度可口可乐公司资助的50个城市项目的一部分。该项目的一个关键问题是研究当地行为者的权力关系、利益和能力如何塑造正式和非正式的可持续废物管理（SWM）经济，并转化为可持续SWM的驱动力或障碍。

Through an Urban Political Ecology approach, the proposal aims to explore how the concept of nature is tied into socio-cultural and political environmental narratives, directed by the intentions of various stakeholders, following a plastic-segregation-programme targeting 100,000 citizens in a small northern (Indian) city, executed by the local NGO 'Waste Warriors', as part of a 50 city project funded by the United-Nations-Development-Programme and Hindustan-Coca-Cola. A key question for the project involves the study of how power relations, interests, and capacities of local actors shape the formal-informal Sustainable Waste Management (SWM) economy and translate as drivers or barriers for sustainable SWM.
