About the book:
This book addresses the importance of language in matters of sustainability
and incorporating such concerns in implementing the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainable language policy must aim to include
all groups, including language minorities and marginalized populations,
such as refugees and aid recipients, in conditions that allow for their
inclusion in making and implementing policy. The book brings together nine
studies covering such topics as language and digital resources, sustainable
and inclusive multilingual education, national language policy, and
language in peacekeeping operations. A final chapter addresses the crucial
intersection between sociolinguistics and economics, and the implications
of this for development and the SDGs.
