Abstract

A safe and sustainable society requires not only capacity development for resilience but a more fundamental transformation of behaviour, norms, values and social organisation that are favourable for society's resilience. This chapter describes what such social change can entail, expanding it from being a matter of attitudes, behaviour and choice also to include the physical, environmental, social, cultural, political and economic context. I then present my humble ideas of what social change may be necessary for a safer and more sustainable world. These social changes span macro-level changes in the conceptualisation of our world as a whole to the necessity of micro-level changes in what confers status to individuals in groups.
