Trust is the “Magic Ingredient”
Human trust lies at the core of supporting and advancing sustainability and climate endeavors. Trust is the linchpin that binds societies and allowing us to collaborate and work towards common goals. It is a fundamental aspect of human interactions that forms the basis for social life and progress. As Pamela Paxton and Jeremy Adam Smith articulated back in 2008, trust is the “magic ingredient” that makes our interconnected world function harmoniously.
The Significance and Intrinsic Nature of Trust
Trust plays an indispensable role in human well-being. Humans are inherently predisposed to trust, as it forms an integral part of our psychological development This intrinsic inclination, established in the bond between caregivers and infants, underscores trust’s importance. However, trust requires evidence and justification, reflecting a rational need for assurance in our interactions. Without trust, genuine connections among individuals and the growth of social structures would become implausible; the very mechanisms that enable us to function as a society would break down, leading to dysfunction.
