Value pluralism, religious particularity, and environmental policy in pursuit of a sustainable future (2023)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D. (in press). Value pluralism, religious particularity, and environmental policy in pursuit of a sustainable future. Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology, 2(4), 4-26

Science has presented a clear picture about global environmental destabilisation and the need for dramatic solutions to ensure a safe and flourishing future. Current policy approaches are grossly insufficient to reverse the decline in key indicators...
