Full textAbstract:
The global environmental crisis has become a pressing issue, driven by various factors including industrial development and the changing relationship between nature and society. Despite increasing awareness and attention to ecological problems, crises have escalated in recent decades. This study aims to reassess the global environmental crisis from a philosophical perspective, exploring the underlying causes and conceptual framework of ecological crises. We conducted a philosophical analysis of the current state of ecological crises, examining historical and contemporary factors influencing these issues. The study integrates ecological theory with philosophical inquiry to offer new insights into the nature of these crises. Our analysis reveals that traditional approaches to understanding ecological crises may be insufficient. We identify a need for a paradigm shift in how we perceive and address environmental challenges, emphasizing the interconnections between industrial forces and ecological imbalances. The findings suggest that a philosophical reassessment of the global environmental crisis can provide a deeper understanding of its causes and potential solutions. By reevaluating the conceptual foundations of ecological crises, we can develop more effective strategies for addressing these urgent issues and fostering a sustainable future.

Anthropogenic impacts on nature endangered the normal implementation of its inherent biotic processes, upset the balance of the state of the biosphere. The most important function of any biocenosis, biogeocenosis and biosphere is the regular recreation of living matter and the energy accumulated in it. Meanwhile, it is the soil cover that ultimately takes on the pressure of the flow of industrial and municipal emissions and waste, performing the most important role of a buffer and detoxifier. The soil accumulates heavy metals, pesticides, hydrocarbons, detergents and other chemical pollutants, thereby preventing their entry into natural waters and purifying the atmospheric air from them. On the other hand, the same substances or their derivatives, as well as heavy metals, fluorine, nitrogen and sulfur oxides in their original or transformed form, are intensively bound by mineral and organic substances of the soil, which sharply reduces their availability to plants and, accordingly, the general level of toxicity. Zinc content in soil ranges from 10 to 800 mg / kg, although most often it is 30-50 mg / kg. The greatest buffer capacity and the ability to reduce the negative impact of pollutants on plant and animal organisms are found in soils with a high humus content, with a heavy particle size distribution, high absorption capacity, enriched with lime materials (carbonates).

One of the global crises experienced by the world is the ecological crisis. Various kinds of natural disasters cannot be separated from the environmental damage that occurs cumulatively and collectively. Excessive use of technology and development that does not care about the environment can damage nature; as mentioned in Islam, preserving nature is one of the tasks of human beings. Scholars have written a lot regarding the concept of maintaining nature based on the Qur'an. However, this effort has not been thoroughly carried out on the hadith. This is evidenced in the discussion of the hadiths in classical fiqh books, which are more focused on the 'ubūdiyyah syar'iyyah aspect, such as the problem of tahārah. These hadiths have the potential to be understood more contextually and ecologically. Based on this, this paper tries to answer academic questions, how is the understanding of hadiths that can respond to the global ecological crisis? The author attempts to understand these traditions by the interconnective method to broaden the scope of meaning. The data used are the main books of hadith, books of hadith that explain from the fiqh perspective and some factual data regarding the ecological crisis. This paper aims to produce contextual meanings that respond positively to various environmental problems globally and locally.

The concept of ecological crises has evolved significantly over time, reflecting changing interactions between society and nature. Historically, various stages of environmental impact have shaped our understanding of ecological crises, from early human activities to modern industrialization. This study aims to analyze the theoretical sources related to the emergence and development of ecological crisis concepts. It explores the periodicity of significant stages in the interaction between human societies and natural ecosystems and examines the reasons behind these crises. The research involved a comprehensive review of theoretical literature and historical records on ecological crises. The analysis focused on identifying key stages in the evolution of ecological crisis concepts and their implications for both natural ecosystems and human societies. The study reveals a pattern of increasing disruption in ecosystems due to human economic activities and resource exploitation. It highlights how past crises differ from contemporary ones in scope and impact, with modern crises being characterized by more profound global environmental degradation. The findings underscore the need for a complete assessment of ecological crisis reasons to better understand their origins and impacts.

Being a kind of reaction to the system of relations "man - nature - society", the existing level of ecological culture demonstrates the eco-cultural impoverishment of society due to the dominance of the rational-mechanistic paradigm. In the process of human existence, crisis phenomena in the relations of society with "mother nature" exhibit a cyclical nature, leading to both negative and positive results in the social, material and spiritual spheres. The first part of the article reveals the essence of ecological crises, the reasons for their occurrence and impact on human existence, the transformation processes of modern society, which are in the field of view of various authors-researchers. The second part of the article deals with socio-ecological problems generated by the lack of knowledge about the basics of ecological culture at the stages of separation of society from the natural environment. For clarity of the conclusions obtained by the author, an analysis of environmental problems in modern Russia is provided. The author considers the stages of the origin and formation of environmental crises to identify the main critical points based on the processes of separation of man from nature. The third part of the article presents the results of an empirical study demonstrating the attitude of respondents from among the residents of Primorsky Krai to the main values of human life, including ecology. As part of the study, a theoretical and methodological basis was defined that reflects the essence of the scientific problem. The scientific novelty of the study lies in determining the essence of the ecological crisis of our time, establishing its origins from the point of view of crisis processes in culture and society.

Abstract This article starts with a brief exploration of the multiple crises currently facing global capitalism, encompassing over-accumulation crisis, an exacerbated environmental and ecological crisis, the evolving epidemiological crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and a dramatic cultural and ideological crisis. This manifold crisis is considered as a specific “capitalism pandemic.” The most important implications of this generalized crisis are subsequently analyzed, focusing in particular on globalization and its ecological implications associated more specifically with the COVID-19 pandemic. This general crisis raises the need of an imperative transformation beyond capitalism and towards socialism/communism. Finally, we briefly outline the main characteristics of communism as a specific form of social organization, and analyze the main aspects of a prolonged transformation period between capitalism and communism.

This paper discusses the implication of Marxist ecological view of nature in the contemporary context, analyzes the current situation and challenges of the global ecological crisis, and deeply expounds the theoretical connotation of Marxist ecological view of nature and its response to contemporary problems. With the acceleration of industrialization and the continuous growth of population, the global ecological crisis has become increasingly prominent, which poses a serious threat to the sustainable development of human society. Marxist ecological view of nature emphasizes the dialectical unity of man and nature, the integrity of the ecosystem, and the importance of the construction of ecological civilization. Sex. It holds that the root of the ecological crisis lies in the excessive exploitation and utilization of natural resources by the capitalist mode of production, and that the fundamental way to solve the ecological crisis lies in changing the capitalist mode of production and realizing the ideals of socialism and communism. In contemporary practice, Marxist ecological view of nature provides important theoretical guidance and ideological weapons for countries to deal with ecological and environmental problems. By comparing and analyzing the current situation of international construction of ecological civilization, this paper reveals the uniqueness of Marxist ecological view of nature in the global construction of ecological civilization. Special advantages and value.

With the rapid development of science and technology, human cognition towards the nature has obtained great progress. They have created abundant wealth and caused serious damage to nature as well. The extent of environmental pollution has never been serious than ever before. Bad behaviors from human have initiated a series of global problems, such as natural resources shortage, ecology imbalance, population expansion, air pollution, water pollution, desertification, species extinction, acid rain, global warming, climate change, and so on. These problems have conversely threatened the existence and development of contemporary human beings and deeply influenced the development of society and its future generations. The aim for this paper is to analyze the roots of ecological crisis and explore the roadmap of harmonious development of human and nature in order to achieve sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
This article unpacks the relational nexus between financialization and energy—in this case oil—that shaped the 1970s world-economic crisis and that is again central in the convergence between climate change and accumulation crises. Focusing on these critical moments when profitable opportunities for capital narrow and the world-system enters a period of turbulence, I explain the ways in which energy and finance have been central in crisis formation and, in turn, in capitalists’ search for ways out of crises. Starting with a discussion of the 1970s global conjuncture, I explain the role of the “energy crisis” in the first general recession of post-World War II era. I show how the oil price hike of the early 1970s—which compounded the core’s accumulation crisis while also representing a challenge to unequal trade by dramatically revaluing a key global South export—was channeled into fuel for global North financial accumulation via petrodollar recycling and global South debt. Building on this history, I provide a brief examination of this nexus between finance and energy in the ongoing climate crisis. Today the global capitalist class profits from continuing fossil-fueled accumulation and, increasingly, from the grafting of financial instruments onto socio-ecological disruptions.

Full textAbstract:
James O 'Connor's ecological thought was born in the middle and late 20th century. By using the unique theory of double contradiction and double crisis of capitalism, James O 'Connor revealed the global ecological crisis caused by the development of capitalism, outlined a new model of ecological socialism, and tried to find a feasible path to solve the global ecological crisis. To mitigate the adverse effects of the ecological crisis on the capitalist world. James O 'Connor's ecological thought has been widely discussed by the academic community since it was put forward. Subsequently, many scholars in the field of ecology have analyzed and studied James O 'Connor's thought. Through the organic combination with the current actual situation and practical experience, they began to apply James O 'Connor's ecological thought to the management of ecological problems. The construction of ecological civilization in our country is also developing continuously, and O 'Connor's ecological thought has a very positive enlightening and instructive significance to the construction of ecological civilization in our country.

Far from being an event of a decade ago, the 2008 global financial crisis is a manifestation of an ongoing crisis of the world order, with social, political and ecological dimensions that cannot be seen separately from each other. The root cause of the crisis can be traced back to the collapse of the Bretton Woods System in August 1971, and the failure to design an equitable and inclusive global financial and economic governance architecture consistent with the changed global economic realities. The vacuum was quickly taken up by the neoliberal orthodoxy that pushed the agenda of wholesale liberalisation, resulting in unprecedented domination of speculative finance capital and multinational corporation–led globalisation. This has seen falling share of wages in national income, growing wealth concentration, rising income inequality and ballooning of household debts. The consequence was frequent and increasingly deeper and wider financial crises.

Full textAbstract:
The ecological crisis is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces in this century. Climate change and ecosystem degradation pose real threats to the future of life on the planet. However, despite global security and survival being key themes in the study of international relations, environmental issues have remained on the sidelines of the discipline in recent decades. This reality seems to be changing with the publication of an increasing number of works that seek to rethink the discipline and the practice of world politics through the lens of ecology. These works call for a political transformation to address the crisis and challenge the traditional institutionalist approach dominant in the literature, which focuses on the analysis of intergovernmental cooperation and the effectiveness of international environmental institutions, such as the United Nations (UN) climate and biodiversity regimes.

Full textAbstract:
In the face of the urgent crisis of the times on a global scale today, theology needs to go beyond self-apologetic and provide a ‘actual contribution’ for theories or discourses to meet the needs. This study aims to solve this perception in the theme of ‘social-ecological transformation.’ In order to transform the social-ecological system, the paradigm at the macro level, power and institutions at the meso level, and culture and awareness at the micro level must all change. In this article, a ‘conceptual framework for social-ecological transformation’ is introduced, and through this framework, the synthesis of degrowth and decoupling, two representative discourses of responding to climate-ecological crisis, will be mediated between structure and practice. It is dealt with by turning to the problem of describing the meso level. At this point, by applying the structure of St. Paul’s ‘messianic life’ to the structure of meso level power and politics, theology can provide a ‘actual contribution’ to the discussion of current issues to respond to the urgent global climate-ecological crisis.

Full textAbstract:
There has been a surge in global concerns for the ecosystem. The depth of environmental problems and their perilous consequences on the ecosystem today explains concerns. In many environmentalists’ literature, it is common to blame the roots of the crisis on such factors as indiscriminate application of advances in science and technology, and the defective pattern of economic world order. Taking a departure from such commonly identified factors, this paper interrogates the root of problem from an epistemological perspective. This is due to the need to tackle it from the root. It argues that since our conception of reality determines the way we relate with the world, our ecological crisis is basically rooted in the wrong human conception of the world of nature as a ready tool for man’s use and exploitation. Such conception as sponsored by the dualistic epistemic framework in traditional epistemology, focuses on pure mental cognition of the epistemic subject in knowledge production, while undermining the crucial agency of the environment in shaping mental activities. This creates an impression of man’s masterly power over the world on nature. The consequence of such polarizing and exclusivist epistemic orientation is man’s unrestrained domination and ill-exploitation of the environment today, resulting in the ecological crisis. As a way out, the paper proposes an ecological epistemology as a philosophical tool for rethinking the epistemic interconnectedness between man and the environment. It concludes that such ecologically-oriented epistemology offers a reconceptualization of humanity that has the potential to conserve the environment.

[Objective] This study explores the direction of re-education of the faithful in the Korean Catholic Church, integrating global citizenship education in response to the contemporary demands of the ecological crisis.
 [Contents] This study first diagnoses the reality of the re-education of the faithful in the Church through data such as the ‘Statistical Analysis Report of the Korean Catholic Church’ and ‘Religious Consciousness and Faith Life of Catholics’, analyzes the practice of Pope Francis’ ecological theology and the response to the ecological crisis of the Korean Catholic Church, and proposes the idea of transforming the existing re-education of the faithful into a model of Catholic global citizenship education that revives the call of the times.
 [Conclusions] The re-education in front-line parishes must be a lifelong education for cultivating global citizenship(“Catholic civic education”) at the social and ecological levels, where the common consensus(“Synodalitas”) is realized through mutual learning. To achieve this, Catholic civic education should be actively utilized through various organizations and committees that engage in ecological environmental movements inside and outside the Church.

The reductions in economic activities and mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic heavily challenged the global energy sector, due to which an energy crisis began to unfold in 2021. Under this social background, the linguistics community pay more and more attention to energy narrative in discourse. Based on Stibbe's definition and Fairclough's three-dimensional model, this study combined quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze the ecological discourses of the New York Times reported during the energy crisis. This study found that the selected news discourses contain ecologically destructive elements and use the "Erasure of causality" strategy more frequently. Ecological discourse analysis of news discourse is conducive to deconstructing ecological destructive discourse and helping the public to further distinguish misleading and deceptive energy reports.

Abstract. Crises dominate current political debates. They shift the spaces of possibility for geographical research practice and global theory formation. Our starting point in this forum is the diagnosis of a dual crisis: on the one hand, the epistemological crisis put forth in post- and decolonial scholarship and, on the other hand, the ubiquity of worldly crises – variously described as the pluri-crisis, polycrisis, or socio-ecological crisis. This pervasiveness poses new questions about how the entanglement of these diagnoses operates in the realm of geographical knowledge practice. Clearly, crisis phenomena have always conditioned the production of geographical knowledge. As crises restrict mobility or create precarious working conditions, they have not only shaped the everyday research life of many scholars worldwide, but also defined current knowledge (production) through the absence of certain scholars' voices at international conferences or in international publications. Having patterned global theory formation in this way, crises are firmly embedded in any knowledge canon. This forum discusses the transformation of urban geography in times of multiple crises. In our introductory reflections, we highlight some of the forum contributions' crosscutting insights, weave a common thread through this dialogue, and discuss obstacles to as well as critical resources necessary when rethinking and possibly changing practices of knowledge production.

This paper explores the intersection of postcolonial literature and global perspectives on the climate crisis, focusing on how literary narratives decolonize ecological discourse and advocate for environmental justice. Postcolonial literature, emerging from regions formerly colonized by Western powers, offers unique perspectives on environmental issues, challenging dominant Western narratives and proposing alternative frameworks rooted in cultural and historical contexts. Through a comparative and thematic analysis of selected texts, this research examines how postcolonial authors critique colonial legacies, highlight environmental degradation’s disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, and envision sustainable futures grounded in cultural resilience and ecological stewardship.

The IDEA Model: A best practice for data-driven strategic risk and crisis communication Professors of Strategic Communication Dr. Deanna D. Sellnow and Dr. Timothy L. Sellnow explore strategic risk and crisis communication using the IDEA Model, a theoretically grounded tool for effective communication. Nearly four decades have gone by since Beck (1986) proclaimed the world as a “global risk society” comprised of multiple ever-present and interacting risks (e.g., ecological, financial, military, terrorist, biochemical, informational). Helsloot and colleagues (2012) argued further that these ever-heightening global risks have created “a new class of adversity” they describe as “mega-crises” that “defy boundaries, limits, neat demarcations, patterned connections and linear consequences” (p. 5). Ultimately, the reality of mega-risks and mega-crises “challenge traditional assumptions and working methods of public authorities, corporate leaders and the public at large” (p. 5), necessitating a need for enhanced risk and crisis communication.

Narratives of crisis in the fisheries tell us about declining catches, vanishing species, and displaced fishers. We hear little about the agency of fishing communities themselves, and their long history of militant mobilization at a variety of scales in defense of their resources, livelihoods, and communities. This paper seeks to fill this gap. It traces the changing role of social movements representing fishing communities in global fisheries governance, from their emergence in the period of state-led developmentalism to their contradictory positioning within the new global governance of voluntary codes and market-based mechanisms. In contrast to technoscientific, economistic and managerial solutions for sustainability, these movements place the human-ecological relationship at the centre, asserting the importance of livelihood, place-based community, and fishers’ knowledges in ensuring the sustainability of the fisheries. Despite the complexities and contradictions involved in making such claims, the movements have been successful in inserting them into global frameworks and discussions around fisheries governance. It is important that scholarship committed to the production of alternatives to the intensification of capitalism's socio-ecological crises documents, critically examines, and valorizes the work of such movements.

This paper will draw on Catholic resources to examine the impact of population and consumption vis-à-vis reproduction in the developed world as it relates to theological/ moral obligations to the earth. By examining both natural and artificial means of procreation, an assessment of “green” reproduction can be made. I will explore contraception as an option for limiting natural procreation, and the avoidance of assisted reproductive technologies [ARTs] as a way of preventive artificial reproduction. However, both family size and carbon footprint must be scrutinized for ecologically sound consumer practices in accordance with biblical principles to ensure the global magnitude of the ecological crisis is examined; therefore the role of consumption that stems from procreation will also be discussed. The paper will conclude by envisioning alternative parenting options as they relate to ecological practices, and I will assert that all things considered, on the continuum of ecologically oriented reproductive choices, non-biological parenting and thereby a reduction in procreation and consumerist practices is the most ethical and ecological solution to the environmental crisis that surely escalates with each birth.

Abstract When the existing order cannot offer a solution, the solution to climate crisis must come from the radical left, and this is precisely why Karl Marx’s idea of ecosocialism is more important than ever. In this context, it is worth revisiting not only the legacy of István Mészáros’s theory of ‘social metabolism’ and that of his successors – who can be categorised as comprising the ‘metabolic rift school’, which includes John Bellamy Foster, Paul Burkett, and Brett Clark –, but also Karl Marx’s own theory of metabolism. In order to highlight the contemporary importance of Marx’s theory of metabolism after its long suppression in the twentieth century, this paper aims at classifying the three different levels of Marx’s concept of ‘metabolic rift’, which also entails clarifying three different levels of ‘metabolic shift’ as the theoretical foundation for updating Marx’s theory of postcapitalism in the age of global ecological crisis.

Full textAbstract:
The starting point for the reflections were a range of issues bordering philosophy, morality, economy and law, regarding the rational management of natural resources and protection of the natural environment, as well as the regulation and forming of peoples’ attitudes and behaviours in relation to the natural environment, and the setting of legal boundaries for those behaviours and sanctions for crossing them. The state of the natural environment has a very strong influence on the fulfilment of existential human needs. Humans strive for satisfactory life of appropriate quality, and often have to make choices between various goods. Unfortunately, ecological properties are very often treated last of all in the decision-making hierarchy, and are usually considered inferior to, for example, material prosperity or social comfort. Treating the ecological properties as such, often results in them going unnoticed overall, and very soon leads to permanent and negative changes that directly affect human life and the environment, as well as having a negative effect on health. Therefore, such extraordinarily essential conditions for choosing and fulfilling ecological needs as regards first-class existential needs that have a vital influence on the quality of life and ecological awareness, are based chiefly on understanding the rules of sustainable development. Should the development of civilisation be ruled by economy, or should the basis of that development be protection and maintenance of natural environmental resources? Or maybe the most sensible option is to balance economic, social and ecological aims? The problem pinpointed in this way highlights the importance in life of global community, and may for years induce consideration and reflection.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers the main types of global environmental problems as crisis ecological situations that are relevant for the entire planet, the solution of which is possible only with the participation of all humanity. Global environmental problems closely related to other global world problems, they affect each other and the emergence of some leads to the emergence or aggravation of others. The paper is concerned that such a complex world problem as the demographic caused by the explosive growth of the world's population leads to a sharp increase in the burden on the environment due to an increase in people's needs for food, energy, housing, industrial goods, etc. Obviously, without solving the demographic problem, without stabilizing the population, it is impossible to restrain the development of crisis ecological processes on the planet. In turn, the ecological problems of desertification, deforestation, causing degradation and loss of agricultural land, lead to an aggravation of the world food problem. The ecological danger of such global problem as military is great. In this article, we have determined that environmental degradation leads to significant economic costs as a result of degradation of natural resources, pollution, deterioration of public health.

The modern progress of human civilization, the active development of engineer-ing and technology, the integration of artificial intelligence into human life actualize the importance of answering the question of what the ecological concept of Catholi-cism should be as part of the Catholic anthropological paradigm. The relevance of environmental issues is reinforced by a large-scale war, which not only brings a se-ries of ecological disasters not only in the territory of Ukraine, but also spreads far beyond its borders. The article examines the need for philosophical reflection on the ways out of the modern ecological crisis through the inclusion of the ecological concept in the personalistically conditioned Catholic anthropological paradigm.The purpose of the study is to reveal the specificity of the Catholicism ecological concept in the context of the Catholic anthropological paradigm and its efficiency in overcoming the modern ecological crisis. To realize the purpose, it is necessary to reveal, first, the content of the anthropocentrism of the Catholic anthropological paradigm; secondly, the axiological dimension of the Catholic ecological paradigm; thirdly, the implementation of axiological, economic, social and humanitarian factors in the Catholic ecological concept; fourth, etization of ecological consciousness. The methodological basis of the article is hermeneutic, behaviorist, comparativist and systemic-structural methods of scientific knowledge. The elements of scientific novelty are, firstly, the further in-depth development of the Catholicism ecological concept with signs of integrality, secondly, the personally determined search for a conscious way to overcome the modern ecological crisis, thirdly, the gradual for-mation of the ecological worldview of the individual, which includes the growth of empathy for the natural environment, understanding the possibilities of restoring nature as a result of a utilitarian approach to its resources.

Full textAbstract:
This paper argues that international environmental law (iel) is not sufficiently ambitious to confront the Anthropocene’s socio-ecological crisis. The critique specifically focuses on iel’s lack of ambitious and “unmentionable” ecological norms such as rights of nature, Earth system integrity, and ecological sustainability that are not yet considered to be part of the corpus of iel, but that arguably should be in light of the prevailing and ever-deepening socio-ecological crisis. Assuming that the recent Global Pact for the Environment initiative and its accompanying United Nations-mandated report that assesses possible gaps in iel are indicative of the type of reforms we might expect of iel now and in future, the paper determines if and the extent to which the Global Pact initiative embraces ambitious norms and addresses iel’s “unmentionable” normative gaps. A secondary, but related, objective of the paper is to briefly respond to the recent view that any radical critique of the Global Pact initiative is either unfounded, unwarranted or undesirable.

Full textAbstract:
The climate crisis is a global and urgent ecological problem facing humanity that cannot be avoided. The various ecological and environmental catastrophes caused by the current climate crisis lead to the politics of developing science and technology to solve them. However, the climate crisis is also rearranging human society in the midst of environmental changes that cannot be predicted by science and technology. This article begins with a critique of the science-technoism, anthropocentrism, colonialism, and developmentalism of the mainstream climate crisis discourses by asking: whose crisis is the climate crisis, and whose responsibility is it? This article calls for a deconstruction of the science-technoism discourse surrounding the climate crisis and a reconstruction of the relationship between humans and nature, especially through ecofeminism and new materialist feminism. By elucidating ecofeminism's decolonization theory of the climate crisis and new material feminism's becoming-climate debate, this study critically examines the issue of women's victimization in the climate crisis and considers whether nature can become a public subject in our society. Based on the analysis of feminist politics surrounding the climate crisis, this study proposes becoming ecological citizens as a new feminist citizenship in the era of climate crisis through the case study of women peasants' ecological citizenship practices based on interspecies relations.

Full textAbstract:
With rapid industrialization, the current social system is facing a variety of crises that deplete resources, pollute the environment and generate large amounts of waste. Excessive destinations dependence on tourism, as a primary economic activity, make them more vulnerable to global crisis situations and their negative effects. The tourism industry is also sensitive to external disasters and the deterioration of the tourism product, and is becoming more exposed to the crisis, which leads to a growing interest in contingency planning. Economic crisis, the crisis in the world shipping economy and political instability represent some of the crisis situations that developed and developing countries are struggling with. The goal of the research is literature review to determine which crisis situations exist in nautical tourism, which ones occur most often and what is the cause of them. Also, by analyzing the content of selected articles, the aim is to present possible solutions to such situations, applying to a greater extent to the principles of sustainable development. This paper analyzes the scientific literature on the crisis situations and their negative effects on nautical tourism, as relatively new multidisciplinary tourism activity. Contrary to the long history of piracy, terrorist attacks, as a one type of crisis situations that occur in the maritime industry are rare. However, high-energy consumption, high water pollution and increased port production, consequently negatively affect the ecological environment. Pollution created by vessels, in addition to disrupting the natural ecological balance, also encourages climate change, therefore, ecological restoration measures can help improve the quality of the environment on land and in water.

Full textAbstract:
Following a Marxist and, more specifically, a global capitalism perspective, this paper outlines the peculiar characteristics of tourism to argue that the recent developments of this sector have prominently contributed to the transnational integration and global accumulation of capital. These developments are explored by using a Marxist conceptual framework, including class and value relations, within a broader ecological context. Taking into account the particular pattern of development and rapid growth of tourism in recent decades, we examine the implications for the uneven and combined development of global capitalism. More specifically, we examine whether the growth of tourism may sufficiently counteract the global over-accumulation crisis, as well as the particular ways in which capital can extract and appropriate rent from tourism. It is broadly argued that the development of tourism tends to increase the unevenness, as well as the inequalities and the instability, of global capitalism and while it seems to apparently relax the current over-accumulation crisis, it rather tends to further exacerbate the unfolding socio-ecological crisis.

The Climate Crisis is not just biological or physical; it also constitutes a value and spiritual crisis. Ecological reading of the Bible is a very recent approach that has entered the exegetical field practically from 2000 onwards. In recent decades, the Catholic Church, especially under the leadership of Pope Francis, is contributing with a proactive and urgent discourse to promote the value of nature and the global ecological commitment. This article analyzes and evaluates the current discourse of the Catholic Church, focusing our assessment especially on the ecological reading of three documents: Laudato Si´, Querida Amazonia and Laudate Deum, which presents relevant convergences and divergences with the current trends in ecological hermeneutics. First, we address Francis’s ecological reading, articulating two main aspects: the creational and eschatological perspectives concerning the earth and the ecological debate. Finally, we offer some conclusions that invite an evaluative dialogue between Francis’s ecological reading and others of similar sensitivity and hermeneutics.

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic, its impacts and consequences are addressed in the context of acute crises, such as environmental, ecological, climate, economic and social crises caused and/or aggravated by human impact in the Anthropocene, mainly as negative consequences of a capitalist economy and unlimited growth guided by short-term profits. Successful global crisis management, Covid-19 management included, demands coordinated and integrated approaches, strategies and policies that promote sustainable, green, ecologically and socially responsible, balanced, inclusive, solidary and fair societies, economy and development. In particular, the article addresses the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on societies, science(s), minorities and persons belonging to them, focusing on their situations, position, status, rights and protection, inclusion, integration, participation and representation.

Full textAbstract:
At present, the global ecological environment continues to deteriorate, with increasingly severe issues such as resource scarcity and environmental pollution. The ecological crisis has become a key constraint on the sustainable development of human society, making the modern value reconstruction of the Marxist view of nature highly relevant. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the core components of the Marxist view of nature, including the objectified relationship between humans and nature, the ecological mediating role of labor, and the socio-historical character of nature. From the perspectives of addressing the ecological crisis, improving theoretical systems, and guiding ecological civilization construction, this paper discusses the necessity of reconstructing its modern value. It also proposes targeted reconstruction paths, such as reinforcing the concept of a community of life between humans and nature, promoting transformations in green production modes, and improving the legal and policy system for ecological protection. These paths aim to offer theoretical support and practical guidance for mitigating the ecological crisis and advancing ecological civilization, ultimately achieving harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature and sustainable social development.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is a communication-oriented, ecological interpretation of James Cameron’s recentfilm, Avatar, and of John Hillcoat’s The Road – two films that address the current global ecologicalcrisis very differently. By ‘ecological’ is meant that – in the case of Avatar – the film is ecologicallysignificant in its stressing of the vital interconnectedness of all living beings both with one anotherand with their inorganic environment. The question of how this ecological stance is cinematicallyarticulated in Avatar, in science-fictional terms, is all important, because a communicational failurein this regard would fall short of imparting to audiences the potential outcome of the continuingdestruction of ecosystems, comparatively speaking, on Earth. In The Road the ecologicaldimension is encountered very differently, because the cinematic-communicational meansemployed function in a register at odds with that utilised in Avatar. The point of this paper is toexplore the communicational differences, including the one regarding cinematic-communicationalregister, between the two films, regardless of the fact that, arguably, they promote the sameecological insights.

Full textAbstract:
Practical theology is by nature a discipline of crisis, standing on the edge of reality and potential, what is and what can be. Crises can be gentle turning points, opportunities for radical transformation, or catastrophic moments in time. In the geological age of the Anthropocene, people face devastating planetary effects of human agency, which have created and escalated a climate crisis beyond the boundaries of imagination. Practical theology belongs at the epicenter of ecological crises, which have already produced harsh results, ecological despair, and a time-dated urgency for daring decisions and actions. Change is knocking at global doors—the necessity, foreboding, and hope for change. This article probes practical theology’s role in change, giving primary attention to changes in practical wisdom (phronesis) and life practices. Methodologically, the article draws from ecological scholars and activists, philosophers and theologians, indigenous communities, and the earth itself, presenting descriptions and analyses of their shared wisdom across time, culture, and areas of expertise. From these sources, the study identifies challenges, practices, and alternate worldviews that can potentially reshape practical wisdom and climate action. In conclusion, this paper proposes life practices for climate justice: practices of attending, searching, imagining, and communal living and acting.
