Mechanisms for developing and shaping environmental consciousness in the globalised world

Abstract

The Introduction section substantiates the relevance of the study of environmental consciousness in the context of the spread of global environmental knowledge. The aim of the study is to identify and substantiate the mechanisms of formation of environmental consciousness through component analysis of this concept, as well as to identify personal and collective principles of development of ecological culture. The methodological basis of the work is based on the general scientific analysis and synthesis of relevant research, taking into account intersubjective interpretive issues. The implementation of the synergetic method allows us to highlight the universal links of ecological gaps with the level of development of ecological consciousness. In the Results section, we provide our own definition of the studied concept, reveal the structure of ecological consciousness, its types, and modern approaches aimed at systematisation of scientific knowledge. To the practical applicable tools for the formation of environmental consciousness, we include primarily environmental education and psychological and pedagogical education, stimulating and expanding environmental knowledge, values, worldviews and people's attitude towards the surrounding world. In conclusion, we conclude that the correlation of social well-being with the conditions of conservation and prosperity of nature is a fundamental factor in the development of humanity's adaptive capacities at the level of ecological consciousness and culture.
