This short article represents the first attempt to define a new core cultural value that will enable engaging the business sector in humankind’s mission to heal nature. First, I start with defining the problem of the current business culture and the extant thinking on how to solve environmental problems, which I called “the eco-deficit culture.” Then, I present a solution to this problem by formulating the “semiconducting principle” of monetary and environmental values exchange, which I believe can generate “an eco-surplus business culture.” This work adds one new element, the eleventh cultural value, to the ten core values of progressive cultures postulated by Harrison (2000).

This paper investigates the alluring connection between business procedure and natural designing methodology on a product offering premise. The creators extend past work on ecological administration apparatuses, utilizing Product Portfolio Matrix examination strategies adjusted to incorporate natural ascribes. The creators show how the customary pivot of piece of the overall industry and market development rate can be rethought as presentation and opportunity from an ecological point of view. A third component, ecological weight, is added to the lattice so natural liabilities are all the while considered in the investigation. The paper likewise shows how ecological investigation can be utilized to make a fruitful move into a more alluring business sector position.

This chapter focuses on the complexity of environmental problems, which is one of its defining characteristics in the sense that there are often many interconnected, variable elements to the problem. It considers the interaction between values and environmental law, which involves some reflection on differing attitudes to the environment. The chapter examines some of the ways in which these values are translated into environmental principles, such as the goal of sustainable development or the Precautionary Principle; it then goes on to consider the question of whether these principles have legal status in the sense that they create legally enforceable rights and duties. Finally, it considers broader questions of environmental justice and the role of different types of rights in environmental protection.

<p>The article is devoted to the methodology of formation of the ecologically interpreted outlook, different kinds of which determine the formation and resolution of environmental problems. The author makes an attempt to develop methodological tools to research the ecological components of social outlook and the concept of highly ecological, holistic worldview (the worldview of ecocentrism), as opposed to the atomic technocratic worldview of anthropocentrism, which fundamentally denies nature. As a major methodological tool of constructing this methodology, the principle of ecological holism was selected, where holism is interpreted as complex (in the absence of organization in the system) or systemic, and where ecological holism is interpreted as environmentalism, involving completeness and integrity of views on the relationship between society and nature. The article puts forward the idea that environmentalism is a variant of holism.</p><p>The novelty and the heuristic of the author's approach is in the attempt to explicate the component of the ecological worldview as an environmental outlook represented in the form of varieties of the not-ecological worldview and the worldview of ecocentrism, which is truly holistic. The significance of the results lies in the attempt to identify and explain the origins of environmental problems in the individual psyche, generalized opinions of people on their relationship with nature, in the consciousness of society, and in pointing out the conditions, means, ways of formation and implementation of corresponding to the nature worldview as a guarantor of the settlement of these problems.</p><p>A philosophical representation of the concept of environmental philosophy and methodology of his study is a contribution to the further development of the new ideological paradigm and the subject of the new environmental philosophy. It is highly necessary to develop and introduce the research methodology of the ecologically oriented worldview phenomenon into philosophical issues for the formation of environmental values and for resolving the global ecocrisis.</p>

SummaryThe cultural norms or core values for sustainable development are an amalgamation of core social values and core environmental values. Widely-shared core social values became strikingly articulated following the Second World War via such instruments as the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1948 Human Rights Declaration. By contrast, widely-shared core environmental values did not surface until some two decades after the Second World War, being first clearly expressed in the 1972 Stockholm Declaration, to be followed by the 1982 World Charter for Nature and, more recently, by the 1992 Rio Declaration. I find that whereas the emerging core social values have until quite recently been essentially innocent of environmental concerns, the emerging core environmental values have been from the start generally couched in social terms.Key ethical issues regarding the cultural norms underlying sustainable development include the questions of how to strike a proper balance between anthropocentric and ecocen-tric justifications; and a proper apportionment of the global biosphere between humankind and the other life on earth. Several lines of evidence suggest to me that the environmental and social strands of widely-shared core values for sustainable development are beginning to merge, and that there has begun to occur a slow but progressive development in mainstream thinking toward a recognition of an unbreakable link between social development and environmental conservation.A number of major stumbling blocks to the achievement of sustainable development exist of course, amongst them the imbalance between human numbers plus needs and available natural resources, the prevalence of totalitarian and corrupt regimes, and the ineffective system of peaceful world governance. Despite obstacles to sustainable development, a trend towards a commitment to it seems evident in such components of society as governments, intergovernmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, academia, religious bodies, and grass-roots movements.

Environmental skepticism denies the reality and importance of mainstream global environmental problems. However, its most important challenges are in its civic claims which receive much less attention. These civic claims defend the basis of ethical authority of the dominant social paradigm. The article explains how political values determine what skeptics count as a problem. One such value described is “deep anthropocentrism,” or the attempt to split human society from non-human nature and reject ecology as a legitimate field of ethical concern. This bias frames what skeptics consider legitimate knowledge. The paper then argues that the contemporary conservative countermovement has marshaled environmental skepticism to function as a rearguard for a maladaptive set of core values that resist public efforts to address global environmental sustainability. As such, the paper normatively argues that environmental skepticism is a significant threat to efforts to achieve sustainability faced by human societies in a globalizing world.
