Systems Thinking, Regeneration
"The climate slash regenerative movement will be the largest movement that we've ever seen on Earth."


Paul Hawken and Joel Makower speaking at GreenBiz's VERGE 21 virtual event.
 

"Sustainability is a limited framework. The solutions to the climate crisis hinge upon embracing regeneration as a universal organizing principle. 

"That’s according to entrepreneur and author Paul Hawken, who just published a what-to-do, action-packed handbook for those seeking to channel collective action on complex, systemic problems in ways that nurture life and livelihoods. 

"'To me, regeneration is not about saying this is a better word so much as opening and expanding the sense and possibly enlarging what it means for human beings, companies and NGOs, to come together ... and solve the climate crisis,' Hawken said at the GreenBiz VERGE 21 virtual event. 'A regenerative movement will come. The climate slash regenerative movement will be the largest movement ... that we've ever seen on Earth.'

"His new book, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation, is joined by a website that details 'what needs to be done and how to do it on all levels of agency, from a classroom to a CEO.' The site offers snapshots of systemic issues — including clean cookstoves, electrifying everything and wasting nothing — with action items, key players, governance, bad actors and media to digest for each."
