Book Chapter Description

Culture provides a foundation for worldview. Historically, it has been aligned with a religious or spiritual perspective, simultaneously shaped by and affecting the environment. With the establishment of the current global market economy, the economic framework, which is consistent with some religious perceptions related to human dominance over planetary resources, has influenced culture. This has led to high resource use and a consumer focus. However, the externalities related to market-defined economic progress are inconsistent with human and environmental well-being; they are in fact a primary contributor to the speed with which climate change is accelerating. This chapter highlights active stakeholder engagement as a tool to modify human action and the operation of the economic system to ultimately align human behavior with climate change adaptation.
