About the Series

International treaties, including Conferences of the Parties, have been signed and global warming countermeasures are being proposed all over the world. Resources on this page are drawn from the Uehiro-Carnegie-Oxford Conference, ""Global Warming: Environmental Ethics and Its Practice"", which took place at Carnegie Council in New York in October 2015, with an international group of participants.

While many authors purport the importance of education in transforming values and empowering people to participate in environmental protection, some argue that education commonly reinforces mainstream culture and values, and is inherently embedded in the ideology of oppression. Hijacked by instrumental rationalization and utilitarianism, modern prevalent education seems to transcend values, which promote on-going market ideology rather than make efforts to create an expansive vision for a sustainable future.
