Abstract

This chapter expands reader horizons across four diverse Asian cultures – India, Japan, China and Singapore – and challenges predominant Western perspectives about sustainability. The concept of ‘glocal’ resonates in these Asian countries as a way to respond to both local and global environmental needs. These cultural contexts and the required border-crossings significantly enrich and deepen understandings for all about what it means to live sustainability.
