Model for Developing and Assessing Civic Environmental Engagement Programs
There are a variety of perspectives on the impacts of human activity on the environment, but many people believe creating a more sustainable future requires a fundamental cultural transformation. Individuals who rethink patterns of human activity to consider their implications and chart a new course through changes in actions, policies, or other means can help create this transformation. How to achieve such shifts, however, remains unclear. There are different ideas in the literature and others in practice, yet increasing civic engagement stands as a common guiding principle across them.
