This summer holiday season, let's embrace the concept of Tourism Living Systems! 🌱 The paper "Transformative roles in tourism: adopting living systems' thinking for regenerative futures" by Loretta Bellato, Niki Frantzeskaki, Carlos Briceño F., Anna Pollock, Elke Dens, and Bill Reed re-conceptualizes destinations as interconnected ecosystems where tourism could help regenerate and nurture communities and environments. By viewing tourism as part of a larger living system, they offer an approach for our travels to give back more than they take. Travel responsibly and learn more about this concept. 🌍✨ https://lnkd.in/exgvccrH #regenerativetourism #systemsthinking #responsibletourism

🔍 Is the focus on single risk factors holding back public health intervention? Dive into the paper by Philippe Giabbanelli and Andrew Page, "Systems Thinking and Models in Public Health." This insightful publication features a series of articles that explore how systems thinking and computational models can tackle the complexities of public health. By moving beyond the single risk factor approach, these articles introduce innovative methods for understanding and addressing diverse health challenges. Read the full article to see how systems thinking can be used to design public health interventions. https://lnkd.in/eHZbFyys #systemsthinking #publichealth #healthpolicy

Another fascinating compilation of research by Dark Matter Labs! A really interesting map on #mentalhealth and #wellbeing and an exploration of the concept of "Mental Wealth"! Read more about how Dark Matter Labs are looking at Mental Wealth in relation to the build environment, ways of learning, technological advancement, society’s changing demographics, the development of our ecological systems and how mechanisms such as financing, policymaking and governing impact these. https://lnkd.in/diWn8ban #systemschange

How do we change where and how money flows throughout society? And if we can do that, can we change how we interact with the Earth through the economy? Leon Seefeld and Samantha Power (Dark Matter Labs, The BioFi Project and Buckminster Fuller Institute) have just published on Bioregional Financing Facilities which we highly recommend: “Bioregional Financing Facilities (BFFs) are a new layer in the global financial architecture that can drive the decentralisation of financial resource governance, the design of project portfolios for systemic change, and the transition to a regenerative economy at the bioregional scale. They have the potential to become the connective tissue between financial resources and on-the-ground regenerators.” #finance #systemicinvesting #bioregions #impactinvesting https://lnkd.in/dvzqW6pX
Systems Change & Finance • Bioregional Weaving & Regeneration • Regenerative Business Model Innovation
Excited and humbled to see this come to life. Finance can be a powerful catalyst for unlocking systemic change. Unfortunately though, it still often is a significant barrier and blocker instead. Sufficient quantities and qualities of financial flows are urgently needed to regenerate human and more-than-human life at the bioregional scale. We need to dream up new and evolve existing financial mechanisms to meet the demands of the transition that is underway and to empower communities on the ground to lead the work they know is necessary to build resilience and adaptation to a changing world as much as possible. While we don’t profess to know all the answers, Samantha Power and I [with the help of soo many others*] have made an effort to write up what #BioregionalFinancingFacilities could look like. We envision these facilities as »a new layer in the global financial architecture that can drive the decentralisation of financial resource governance, the design of project portfolios for systemic change, and the transition to a regenerative economy at the bioregional scale. They have the potential to become the connective tissue between financial resources and on-the-ground regenerators.« Some visionary bioregional regenerators are already piloting and implementing versions of what we are proposing as four templates in this book (the Bioregional Trust, the Bioregional Venture Studio, the Bioregional Investment Company, and the Bioregional Bank) and we highlight some of them in the case studies throughout the book. Yet, we would love to learn about even more examples and efforts in this direction. So if you are working on something or know of related initiatives, please do get in touch! If you have a need for novel financing mechanisms in your bioregion and would like someone to think along your design and implementation, do reach out as well! Both Dark Matter Labs and The BioFi Project (as part of the Buckminster Fuller Institute) are already collaborating with bioregional teams and are eager to share learnings with others. Let’s make bottom-up, regenerative bioregional financing a thing – together. You can download the full version of the book for free here: https://lnkd.in/e6rfeUtf ___ *Credits and acknowledgements to all contributors are listed on the second page of the book. A big THANK YOU to everyone who gifted their knowledge, ideas, critique, skill, creativity, and passion to this book project 🙏🏻

“We can never measure everything sacred, beautiful and alive.” - Charles Eisenstein Collecting data and measuring progress is often important, yet it is far insufficient to the task… #data #impactmeasurement #carboncredits #sustainability https://lnkd.in/eXVFg5NX
What are the pitfalls of climate finance and carbon math? Author and philosopher Charles Eisenstein shares his perspective on how the tool of measurement is insufficient to the task. Friends of Charles Eisenstein

What if the economy is more like a living organism than a machine? In "The Origin of Wealth: Evolution, Complexity, and the Radical Remaking of Economics," Eric Beinhocker delves into how wealth creation mirrors evolutionary processes. By viewing the economy as a complex adaptive system, Beinhocker illuminates the interplay between technology, business design, and market behavior, offering fresh insights into economic theory.

Looking back at the pioneers who shaped the field of systems thinking, Donella Meadows' legacy shines brightly. Her lectures and speeches, now archived by the Academy for Systems Change, continue to inspire and educate on envisioning a sustainable world. Meadows’ profound insights and ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity and precision were unparalleled. Explore these historical recordings to gain valuable perspectives from one of the foundational voices in systems thinking. Special thanks to Joe Hsueh and Marta Ceroni of the Academy for Systems Change for their dedication to preserving and promoting this invaluable resource.

Our Alma Mater, the Department of Strategic Sustainable Development at Blekinge Institute of Technology Tekniska Högskola is looking for two PhD students in strategic sustainable development. The PhD students will work on a new project, Sustainable Product Innovation for Rewarding Transformation – SPIRIT, funded by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation. The purpose is to increase companies’ capabilities for developing competitive products that contribute to a sustainable society. Specifically, companies need know-how and methodological support to: (i) anticipate, understand, and manage sustainability-driven changes in stakeholder preferences and market conditions; (ii) assess the sustainability performance of products; and (iii) facilitate effective development work in multidisciplinary teams and decision making at different levels in the company and its value chain.

Last fortnight Ashley Scarborough, led another RIF Learning Circles, and she shared what she learnt during the recent Art of Hosting Karlskrona course at Master's in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability (MSLS) in Sweden. She made us reflect upon our purpose and as a team, it is important to occasionally reflect on why we do what we do.
