Abstract

This chapter delves into the profound impacts of culture, ethics, and happiness on environmental preservation, with a special emphasis on ancient Indian culture. It explores how ancient cultures, including Christianity, Islam, Jainism, and Hinduism, have historically valued environmental ethics and harmony with nature. The text also examines the role of modern eco-thinkers and activists in promoting environmental conservation. Empirical analyses are conducted to investigate the long-run relationships between happiness and carbon emissions in the top 20 polluting countries. The study reveals that happiness can influence environmental degradation, highlighting the need for policies that enhance affinities to nature. Additionally, the chapter discusses the economic and environmental aspects of happiness, emphasizing the importance of sustainable and equitable use of natural resources. The findings suggest that cultural and ethical practices can significantly contribute to environmental preservation and the well-being of both humans and nature.
