The world is facing big problems like climate change, running out of natural resources, and many plants and animals going extinct because of what humans are doing.
All of this makes it harder for people to have a good life.
A group of researchers from different countries has come up with a new idea to help fix these problems.
How they created the theory
Scientists call it the Theory of Planetary Social Pedagogy, and it's all about learning.
They say that people, societies, and the world are all connected, like one big system.
Thinking this way can make life more meaningful, help people feel like they belong, and show them how they can make a difference.
In times like these, it's important to understand that our lives are connected to everything on Earth.
Key details
The researchers say one of the main reasons we have all these big problems is because many people think they're not connected to the world around them.
The usual plan to make the world more sustainable focuses on money and technology, but that's not enough. We also need to learn.
A "learning society" is one where people change their values, beliefs, and how they see the world.
Understanding our connection to others and nature on an emotional, physical, and mental level is at the heart of making the world better.
Why it's important
A learning society can help make our world more green and sustainable.
This means changing how we live, what we buy, and how we use energy and food. It can even change how we think about work and money.
A sustainable future doesn't mean life has to get worse.
It can actually become richer and more meaningful as we become more hopeful about the future.
So, by learning and understanding how we're all connected, we can make the world a better place for everyone.
