Abstract
With the emergence of the industrialization era in the last three centuries, a new form of human social civilization emerged and developed named industrial civilization. This kind of civilization gradually replaced the agricultural civilization with low productivity. The common values, production and life patterns, forms of social organization, and institutional systems also changed dramatically during this process. Industrial civilization and the capitalist system resulting from it, despite creating substantial material wealth for human society, has led to the deterioration and destruction of the environment at the global level. Air and water pollution, water stress and drought, increasing warming of the global climate, and loss of biodiversity are the ongoing trends of human society in the industrial and modern era. This issue has increased the income gap between rich and poor countries. Under such conditions, humans need to review their way of dealing with nature, which is named in this article as environmental civilization. The question is how we can achieve an environmental civilization? The main idea of this article is that achieving an environmental civilization requires a fundamental change in the worldview at first step and, cooperation between all actors of human society in the next. The research method is based on "process tracing".
