Climate stories are about our opportunity and crises. We’re in a global heating emergency. What’s emerging—solutions for a soft landing, drawdown and the mind-shifts that go with it.
Lynette Thorstensen and Sushant Shrestha, in this presentation, part of a Transformative Climate Advocacy program session, showcase the power of a diversity of perspectives, people and approaches.
A single person matters? For climate answers? That’s a paradox and wisdom from shifting our perspectives, understanding we’re connected helps.
This is a shift to quantum thinking, making the problem bigger to address it.
Solving climate and equality crises takes a new script. That’s hard.
If we can expain quantum to our grandmas or grandkids our updated thinking patterns may stick.
What’s the story? A wellbeing economy in the USA and a world we can create together—we have the resources. What do you envision?
Our world is changing. Our thinking patterns are shifting. To answer our pressing emergencies and, fortuitously, engaging in this brings an aliveness like nothing else.
We’re a worldwide civilisation now and can consciously engage in creating thriving, just, sustainable futures for everyone. Yet, sometimes, this seems like a very lonely path…
We hope this site helps us all accelerate positive shifts. Amplification, re-storying and sharing awe…
Our future, ourselves, our planet and our stories, it’s all entangled ― Festina LentÍvaldi*
We are in the midst of a major evolutionary leap. A dramatic increase in cooperation is possible.
Colaboration for climate, covid, injustice and inequality answers is essential. The New Possible showcases success.
Simple please, not simplistic.
Easily said but hard to do in our complex world. Music, poetry, pictures can all help the narratives. Enjoy these short videos!
We are changing the purpose of business with clean energy leading the way.
Our new purpose is that we serve the world and all beings.
Our world is changing, inside and outside of ourselves.
For climate and crises answers, we need to step into the extraordinary and then hold that with the ordinary.
Transformation is inevitable.
Yet, using approaches that involve seeing the system and its patterns, sense-making that constructs new narratives and connecting can herald purposeful transformation for human and planetary wellbeing
We can put our rising awareness next to feeling empowered for change.
David Korten does so here taking what seems impossible to easy.
We navigate the world through stories. We tell ourselves them, create and hold on to them to make sense of complexity around us. What happens when they are past their use-by date? A new story is essential for scaling solutions. This is George Monbiot on these narratives and their power.
We co-produce our present-futures.
Antony’s quantum cloud sculpture is particles and trajectories. You determine what you see and, similarly, are a co-producer of possible futures.
Our health, human, animal and nature are linked. We can create multiple benefits with solutions that reduce the likelihood of pandemics while simultaneously delivering sustainable food systems, restored environments and animal protection.
“Hasten slowly” said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. That’s where we’re challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
