Sustainability, Consciousness and Climate Change

This book is unique in that it addresses the issue of the practical and pragmatic relationship between human consciousness, the crisis of human sustainability and climate change. It is a starting point, both for debate, and particularly for action - it is far from an end in itself. This book identifies a direct relationship between the way our consciousness functions, and malfunctions at times, and the fact that human cultures repeatedly create unsustainable ways of living, which result from unsustainable ways of thinking, which in turn result from unsustainable ways of perceiving our relationship to the world around us, other people and cultures and life on earth in general. This has hugely practical implications. This book seeks to help us utilise our thinking, understanding, contemplative and creative capacities that are associated with our consciousness to generate the most wise, positive and sustainable responses to the current state of humanity and the world.
