Abstract

To solve humanity’s planetary crises, humans need to meld a systems view of life with human agency. While scientists work diligently to find rational answers that will help to fix the earth’s ecosystem, it was the COVID-19 pandemic that has enlightened some inherent human attributes that will motivate change. This chapter defines and describes the system view of life. It describes inherent human traits that blossomed into awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines observations of human behavior that could assist in the future struggle to combat climate change and improve both human health and the health of the earth’s oceans.
