Our Common Environment and Globalization

Shadows and Hopes

Environmental Globalization: Its Components and Evolution

“[T]he world has already been transformed by the scale and nature of human actions to the point where humanity is threatening its own future. The chief threats stem from pressure on scarce and finite natural resources, living and non-living, by the waste of those resources through over-consumption, degradation and competitive exploitation […]. The lesson for this meeting is that while science is essential, as a basis for the understanding and action humanity needs, our first concern should be to analyse how we can alter people’s perceptions of the world and then change their behaviour so that they can serve it more wisely for the sake of the future.”
