Description

In recent years, the problems of environmental destruction and climate change have emerged into public awareness. Many policy makers and scientists have begun grappling with the problem of how to reverse those concerns. In this book, it is argued that environmental destruction and climate change are closely related to other global issues such as poverty, material inequalities, diseases, overpopulation, and institutional failures. All the above issues need to be addressed contemporaneously. Furthermore, they may be attributed to performance of individuals as they pursue their daily occupations. Therefore, one way of solving the problems, in addition to governmental policies, is by educating individuals so that they change their occupational choices and performance patterns as they pursue their daily occupations, in such a way as to impact the global issues of concern positively. In the book, a framework to empower individuals to make the desired changes is suggested.
