Abstract

The current global crisis has led to a consensus that returning to pre-COVID development policies is no longer viable. This chapter outlines a human development approach aligned with Lifestyle for Environment's (LiFE) values. It provides evidence of how economic and environmental activities have been pursued through people-centric approaches across countries. History shows how communities have embraced significant change, facilitating transformative occurrences. The current focus on just transition needs to recognize this facet and link values to sustainable development. Several Global South countries have been proactive in advocating for the recognition and inclusion of cultural values, collective responses, and nature protection values in development. Integrating human development and sustainable living would lead to transformative change, ensuring equity and sustainability in achieving SDGs. This new approach offers hope for a more sustainable and equitable future.
