Abstract

This study explores levels of concern about the environment in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Data for the study were obtained from the 2019 ‘Levels of Concern about the Environment in the UAE’ survey. A convenience sample of 1520 respondents were selected, contacted and interviewed by research assistants. Per the study’s findings, respondents did endorse three out of five dimensions of the Revised NEW Ecological Paradigm scale including the anthropocentric view of nature, balance of nature, and the possibility of eco-crisis. Nevertheless, respondents failed to support the other two dimensions of the given paradigm: limit to growth and human Exemptionalism.

期刊介绍： Perspectives on Global Development and Technology (PGDT) is a peer-reviewed journal for the discussion of current social sciences research on diverse socio-economic development issues that reflect the opportunities and threats brought about by the world order shift from bipolar to global, the present economic liberalization that constricts development options, and the new enabling technologies of the Information Age. A founding principle of PGDT is that all people are entitled to scientific and technological knowledge to promote human development. PGDT is the international forum where the questions associated with this endeavour are thoroughly examinated and clearly communicated.
