Green Transformation:Relationship Adjustment,Basic Patterns and Its Mechanisms
The classical environmental sociology research focuses on the theoretical anatomy and interpretation of environmental issues or environmental degradation,presenting a narrative of"environmental degradation theory".In response to environmental challenges,human beingsactively adjust the relationships between man and nature as well as between people,promoting the green transformation of society,outlining the transition of resource consumption to resource utilization,environmental damage to ecological restoration,breaking of ecological metabolism to ecological cycles,and disorderly development to coordinated development.The institutional-policy potential,economic-technological transformation and social-cultural waves constitute the basic mechanisms that green transformation relies on to initiate and develop.Among them,the institutional-policy potential plays a key role in China's green transformation practices.Currently,although green transformation is no longer just academic imagination and advocacy,this transformation practice is still a trend,facing the challenges of imbalance,instability and inadequacy.Therefore,environmental sociology needs to continue more in-depth theoretical research.
