Climate change is increasingly recognised as the greatest threat to humanand ecological sustainability in the 21st Century. Governments, businesses,non-government organisations and concerned individuals are urgentlyseeking the right set of responses to avoid dangerous climate change. Mostof the proposed solutions focus on systemic changes in technology, marketsand institutions. Very few proposals grapple with the critical task ofunderstanding how individual values and shared worldviews contribute toclimate change. This book uses an emerging framework called Integral Theoryto structure a comprehensive analysis of the exterior and interior dimensionsof climate change. Using a case study on Australian energy and greenhousepolicy, the book introduces Integral Theory and tests its value as a tool forunderstanding the hidden dimenions of our sustainability challenges andidentifying new ways to respond. The book will be of great interest to thosethat are seeking to apply Integral Theory, particularly in the area ofsustainability. It will also be of interest to anyone concerned with sustainabilityor climate change and seeking a foundation for a broader response.
