Abstract
With the emergence of the Industrial Age over the past three centuries, a new form of human social civilization, known as industrial civilization, arose and developed, gradually replacing the less productive agricultural civilization. This transition profoundly transformed shared human values, production and living patterns, forms of social organization, and institutional and legal systems. Industrial civilization and the resulting capitalist system, despite creating significant material wealth for human society, have led to the degradation and destruction of the global environment. Air and water pollution, water stress and drought, accelerating global warming, and biodiversity loss are ongoing trends in industrial and modern societies, further widening the income gap between poor and rich countries. In such circumstances, humanity requires a reassessment of its approach to nature, referred to in this article as "environmental civilization." The central question is: "How can an environmental civilization be achieved?" The main idea of the article is that achieving an environmental civilization primarily requires a fundamental shift in worldview and, subsequently, collaboration among all actors in human society. The research methodology is based on "process tracing."
