Learning our way out: A conceptual framework for social-environmental learning
提出社会-环境学习概念,以应对全球生态危机,并通过实际案例展示其应用,最后构建了进一步发展的概念框架。
The global ecological crisis is the ultimate challenge to society's ability to learn. Traditional problem-solving approaches are inadequate to this challenge as they are based on the assumption that further development can solve the problems stemming from previous development programmes. This paper offers a rationale in support of these two propositions and proposes an alternative concept: social-environmental learning. An example of the actual application of this concept in the context of current issues of environment and development is described and the results are analyzed. The paper concludes with a conceptual framework within which further principles for social-environmental learning can be elaborated.
