Emerging Perspectives on Environmental Challenges
Keywords:
Global Security, Climate change, Environmental change, Global environmental change, GlobalizationAbstract
Human activities significantly impact the global environment, reshaping it in ways that affect nature, societies, and economies. As a result, humans are compelled to confront environmental challenges, responding to the ensuing changes. The response involves not only individual and collective actions but also encompasses broader social, political, and economic processes and institutions that shape how humans interact with the environment. This human dimension of global change emphasizes the practical application of scientific information and the need to enhance its relevance for decision-making. The evolving economic landscape plays a crucial role in influencing environmental policies, as many environmental issues fundamentally intertwine with economic considerations. Environmental laws serve as mechanisms to internalize the environmental costs associated with economic activities in real time. This article delves into the complexities of integrating environmental concerns into social work practice and research.
