Abstract	Abstract Global policy imperatives, implemented through United Nations (UN) social organs, have undoubtedly refocused humanity’s commitment to responsible and accountable agendas directed at resolving global challenges and crises in environmental, ecological and development complexities and uncertainties and contradictions in the understanding of present day realities. All these policy obligations imply bold steps to re-orientate educational, cultural and environmental programmes towards possibilities to foster human and ecological wellness. Sometimes it is less obvious that the linkages are emerging from ordinary people’s (grassroots) local practice, which is then being utilized to shape and inform ‘global powerful ideas’ for ethically grounded and sound practice. The purpose of this document review is to critique the various linkages that exist between the global obligatory policies and their intended practice on the ground. The critique highlights the linkages between globalization, environment, sustainable development and ethics. It advances the notion of the multiplicity and interconnectedness processes of knowledge creation.
