Transformation Literacy: Pathways to Regenerative Civilizations de Petra Künkel

Transformation Literacy: Pathways to Regenerative Civilizations

Editat de Petra Künkel, Kristin Vala Ragnarsdottir
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mar 2022

Apreciem rigoarea cu care modelele conceptuale sunt transpuse în reprezentări grafice și diagrame de sistem care vizualizează interdependențele dintre sănătatea individuală și cea a ecosistemelor. În acest volum, componenta vizuală servește drept ancoră pentru înțelegerea 'noului sistem de operare' necesar umanității. Considerăm că precizia cu care sunt delimitate nivelurile de transformare — de la mentalități la sisteme politice și competențe practice — oferă o structură clinică unui subiect adesea tratat abstract.

Merită menționat că textul este organizat metodologic pentru a facilita progresia de la teorie la acțiune. Partea întâi se concentrează pe 'Mindsets', explorând cum viziunea asupra lumii ca un întreg interconectat poate genera viitoruri posibile, în timp ce partea a doua analizează sistemele care protejează bunăstarea planetară, de la managementul forestier sustenabil la transformarea comunităților. Acolo unde The Great Mindshift de Maja Göpel acoperă necesitatea unei schimbări de paradigmă în economia politică, acest volum aprofundează mecanismele de implementare și competențele specifice de care au nevoie agenții schimbării pentru a gestiona procese la scară largă.

Petra Künkel își consolidează aici expertiza începută în lucrări precum Stakeholder-Dialoge erfolgreich gestalten sau Zukunftskompetenz Stewardship, trecând de la dialogul între părțile interesate la o viziune sistemică asupra civilizațiilor regenerative. Abordarea nu este doar teoretică; ea integrează modele științifice cu practici emergente din afaceri și guvernământ. Apreciem în mod deosebit includerea perspectivelor non-occidentale, cum sunt comorile culturale chineze, care aduc o profunzime necesară discuției despre interconectivitate globală.

Descriere scurtă

This open access book brings science and practice together and inspires a global movement towards co-creating regenerative civilizations that work for 100% of humanity and the Earth as a whole. With its conceptual foundation of the concept of transformation literacy it enhances the knowledge and capacity of decision-makers, change agents and institutional actors to steward transformations effectively across institutions, societal sectors and nations.

Humanity is at crossroads. Resource depletion and exponential emissions that not only cause climate change, but endanger the health of people and planet, call for a decisive turnaround of human civilization. A new and transformative paradigm is emerging that advocates for regenerative civilizations, in which a narrative of systemic health as much as individual and collective vitality guide the interaction of socio-economic-ecological systems. Truly transformative change must go far beyond technical solutions,and instead envision what can be termed ‘a new operating system’ that helps humankind to live well within the planetary boundaries and partner with life’s evolutionary processes. This requires transformations at three different levels:

·  Mindsets that reconnect with a worldview in which human agency acknowledges its co-evolutionary pathways with each other and the Earth.

·  Political, social and economic systems that are regenerative and foster the care-taking for Earth life support systems.

·  Competencies to design and implement effective large-scale transformative change processes at multiple levels with multiple stakeholders.

This book provides key ingredients for enhancing transformation literacy from various perspectives around the globe. It connects the emerging practice of stewarding transformative change across business, government institutions and civil societyactors with the most promising scientific models and concepts that underpin human action to shape the future collectively in accordance with planetary needs.
