Healing Ourselves, Healing our Planet: Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Regenerative Futures
If we’re going to make it through the 21st century as a species, we will need to both heal ourselves and heal our planet. Much healing has taken place personally and collectively over the past few decades, as hundreds of millions of people have woken up, grown up, cleaned up and shown up. We human beings are finally becoming conscious of our own power as conscious beings capable of shaping our personal futures as well as the future of our societies and planet.
This article is both descriptive and prescriptive. In the first part we examine the situation we are in and the context within which action needs to be taken. In the second part we explore what actions, policies and kinds of technologies are most likely to heal ourselves and our planet and avert runaway global overheating.
One of the key insights we explore is how we can leverage emerging technologies for regenerative futures. The model of the three key principles involved, together with the six ingredients and synergistic, multi-capital approach needed for regenerative technologies to scale, is set out below. The bottom line is: How can we create a safe and just operating space for humanity by leveraging emerging technologies for a regenerative world?
