ESS: Environmental systems and societies
ENVIRONMENT- the external surroundings that act on it and affects its survival
SYSTEMS- something made from separate parts that are interlinked and affect each other.
SOCIETIES- group of individuals who share some common characteristics
EVS: (a particular worldview) set of paradigms that shapes the perception of:
● Environmental threats
● How they may impact the environment
● Whether or not that matters.
EVS is particular to:
- An individual
- A group of individuals: religions, companies, governments, intergovernmental
bodies, non-governmental organisations.
Places value on the env:
● goods and services the environment provides:
○ aesthetic importance
○ recreational provision it offers
○ resource it supplies. (gold; diamonds; fossil fuels)- instrumental value
● Intrinsic value:
○ the idea that something can be of value in and of itself and not because it is of
any use to humanity. you can not sell it in return for anything else.
