Setting the Context for Change: Exploring the Pathways to Ecological Sustainability

Explore the cultural and economic causes of the
various Global Crises. We investigate key underlying
western values, beliefs and institutions, and the blocks
to social change. Is the fundamental root cause of our
global crises over‐population, personal/spiritual,
political, lack of efficiency in our systems, or
institutional – the growth economy? This exploration
leads to understanding the possibilities for a positive
future.
