This book explores the implications of knowing our place in the
universe and recognising our hybridity. It is a series of
self-reflections and essays drawing on many diverse ways of
knowing. The book examines the complex ethical challenges of
closing the wide gap in living standards between rich and poor
people/communities. The notion of an ecological citizen is
presented with a focus on protecting current and future
generations. The idea is to track the distribution and
redistribution of resources in the interests of social and
environmental justice. The central argument looks for ways to hold
the powerful to account so as to enable virtuous living by the
majority to be demonstrated in what the author calls a "planetary
passport" - a careful use of resources and a way to provide safe
passage to those in need of safe habitat. The book argues that
nation states need to find ways to control the super-rich through
the governance process and to enhance a sense of shared ecological
citizenship and responsibility for biodiversity. The fundamental
approach is collaborative research. Planetary Passport:
Representation, Accountability and Re-Generation is comprised of
six chapters. Chapter 1 begins by making a case for a paradigm
shift away from business as usual and the pursuit of profit at the
expense of the social and environmental fabric of life. The aim is
to explore alternatives and to discuss some ways of achieving
wellbeing whilst the focus is on human rights, discrimination and
outlining the notion of a planetary passport. Chapter 2 makes a
specific link between people and the planet as a basis for
understanding the nature of hybridity and interconnectedness and
the implications for ethics. Chapter 3 focuses on building this
planetary passport for social and environmental justice in order to
enable people with complex needs to consider the consequences of
either continuing to live the same way as before or making changes
to the way that they live. Meanwhile Chapter 4 does the same as the
previous chapter, but explores the political context of consumption
and short term profit Chapter 5 examines the challenges and
opportunities that come from explorations within a cross-cultural
learning community. This includes a look at co-creation and
co-determination. Finally Chapter 6 ends with a look to the future
and a potential new framework for people and the planet through a
planetary passport.
