From short term behaviour change to longer term lifestyle change?

When:

Thursday 28 May 2020

14:00 - 15:00 BST

What:

Open Zoom session: From short term behaviour change to longer term lifestyle change?

We’re all experiencing huge change unfolding around us. We all need spaces to stop and share, listen, and reflect on what is unfolding. Join us to do this with others from our network, situated all around the world. Together we will share our own experiences, learn from each other and identify patterns and questions and make sense of what is happening together.

Each time, we will be sharing different starting questions and experimenting with different systemic approaches and methodologies to help us navigate this moment of change.

This session will be facilitated by members of the Forum for Future team from the UK who are facilitating the Boundless Roots Community, a systemic action inquiry into sustainable living. We will come together to share perspectives on what behaviour shifts we are experiencing during COVID-19, and where we are seeing potential for deeper changes in how we live to take root.

This is the third in a series of sessions - each is inspired by our Diary of Discontinuity blogs.

The Five Capitals - a framework for sustainability

The Five Capitals Model provides a basis for understanding sustainability in terms of the economic concept of wealth creation or ‘capital’.

A sustainable organisation will maintain and where possible enhance these stocks of capital assets, rather than deplete or degrade them.
