Transformation of ecological consciousness in the process of solving global ecological problems

Abstract

The article outlines the directions of transformation of ecological consciousness in the process of solving global problems. Insufficient impact of institutional changes on nature management regulation to ensure overcoming of environmental problems is shown. It is emphasized that the main tool for overcoming negative trends in the environmental sphere is the transformation of society’s consciousness towards its greening, aimed at achieving optimal interaction between society and nature, the harmonization of material and spiritual life as a real embodiment of the environmental imperative. It should be based on shifting the emphasis of ethical principles - from anthropocentrism to ecologycentrism, to restore the balance between man and thebiosphere.
