Botanic Gardens as Models of Environmental Sustainability: Managing environmental sustainability in times of rapid global change

Abstract

Climate change, loss of habitats and biodiversity are a symptom of humanity’s unsustainable use of natural resources, particularly in the developed parts of the world. Conventional ways of building and operating will not solve this problem. We need a major paradigm shift in the way we live and operate to reduce the risk of serious climate change and environmental degradation.

Botanic gardens have a strong role to play in promoting environmental sustainability through their own management practices and by engaging and inspiring their visitors, staff and funders to understand the critical role that plants play in supporting life on our planet. This is especially important in times of rapid global change.
