Join Phoebe Barnard in an exploration on what’s needed across scales to drive transformative civilizational change. There’s never been a more critical – or perhaps more challenging – time to weigh up alternative futures and harness energy for change that involves determined realization, rather than entropy and bloodshed. I hope to start an explicitly multi-scaled conversation about how to achieve a new restorative/regenerative civilization focused on repairing the planet, climate and society. My departure point will likely be from a 2021 paper of mine (World Scientists’ Warnings into Action: Local to Global, Science Progress, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/00368504211056290) to how the new Global Restoration Collaborative can serve to radically accelerate, align, upscale and upskill progress towards this civilization in and beyond the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. (a temp site for this collaborative is at https://www.stableplanetalliance.org/restoration.) Please come and contribute!
Thomas Harun – How can earthquake preparedness become a catalyst for bioregional regeneration? What are some crucial leverage points we may activate with it to accelerate our transition from fossil fuel infrastructure to climate-friendly and resilient infrastructure? Why isn’t more being done to prepare for this cataclysm which threatens to severely afflict a quarter of our population? This workshop with Thomas Harun will draw on vital insights from Cascadia’s geology and culture to facilitate organizing across our bioregion, highlighting the importance of Cascadia’s meqaquake cycle to her unique dynamics of destruction and regeneration.

Inspired by Vandana Shiva’s vision of Earth Democracy and empowered by the emerging digital systems of blockchain governance, a federated planetary network of bioregional congresses is now possible. In this short talk, Benjamin Life will share more about the collaborative framework of the OpenCivics Consortium and its work to create a space for non-rivalrous research and development on the technological and social foundations of a federated planetary network of bioregional congresses. I seem to be a verb… Benjamin Life is a civic innovator, community organizer, and artist focused on anti-rivalrous decentralized organizations as a mechanism for systemic and cultural adaptation. His work weaves together both the mythos and practical actualization of a more beautiful world, a world in which all human beings are empowered as agents to co-steward communities, cultures, and ecologies that are thriving, resilient, and participatory. Leveraging a large network of systemic innovators, his work as a co-founder of OpenCivics catalyzes a decentralized research, design, and coordination body able to address the root drivers of civilizational collapse. As a cultural leader, Benjamin produces writing, video, and experiences that express the cultural code of a life-affirming civilization.
