This book addresses climate change and sustainability management from a
transdisciplinary perspective which encompasses within itself how
different humanistic disciplines can culminate with each other to move
ahead with the agenda.
Issues of adapting to climate change and sustainability management have
been gaining global prominence over the past few decades. There have
also been volumes of literature that highlight the technical dimensions
of climate change and sustainability across regions and cultures.
However, they have had limited strength to bring direct and desirable
impact in promoting pro-climate action and sustainability behaviour. The
major reason for this is limited inclusion of pluralistic perspectives
into human cognition and affect, and resultant limited public
acceptability.
Although behavioural science as a discipline has taken a front seat in
promoting behavioural transformation, the book argues that other
humanistic fields of understanding like education, art, literature,
philosophy, political science, sociology, economics, etc., have to be
integrated in order to present a holistic standpoint to sustainability
literature.
