This Open access book offers a unique cultural lens and analytical framework to address the challenging task of transitioning towards a sustainable, low-carbon future. The world faces an immense challenge: to fundamentally transform long-established social, economic, and technological systems to align with the Earth's biophysical boundaries while ensuring a just and enduring transition. The central premise of this book is that achieving this goal is impossible without widespread cultural change. While the phrase "we need a change in culture" is often used rhetorically, it is crucial to understand its true meaning.
Stephenson begins by exploring the elusive nature of culture, delving into its diverse interpretations before identifying core characteristics that are common across most definitions. These fundamental elements form the foundation of the culture framework, a widely tested approach to studying the relationships between culture and sustainability outcomes. The framework makes culture accessible and applicable to virtually any sustainability problem, enabling analytical analysis. Through numerous examples from around the world, Stephenson demonstrates how cultural stability, flexibility, and transformation play pivotal roles in the sustainability transition.
She guides the reader in utilizing the culture framework for policy development and as a basis for research conducted by individuals or multidisciplinary teams. Written in a clear and engaging manner, Culture and Sustainability is an essential read for academics, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating a sustainable future.
