River Institute’s Post

The environment plays a crucial role in our existence and survival, encompassing elements such as the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the ecosystems that sustain life. As we pursue economic growth and utilize Earth's resources, it's imperative to ensure this is done without harming our environment. prioritizing the economy over the environment is like trying to hold your breath while counting money. This is a reminder that a healthy planet is essential for our well-being, and it relies on our stewardship. Let's take action for nature and humanity every day.

AUTUMN-WINTER 26-27 CONSUMERS THE ECO DEMYSTIFIERS NATURE Faced with the air of post-truth and skepticism about authorities and their commitment, and the emergence of the commodification of spirituality, this archetype advocates a protopian approach and rejects the ideas of an all-powerful, spiritual earth associated with the new New Age faiths. They have a deconstructed approach to their relationship with the environment in favor of symbiotic living. Focused on research and science, they denigrate the false spiritual while respecting the traditions and cultures they encounter. They are the anti-Burning Man and anti-Coachella par excellence. STRATEGY Promote the diversity of cultures and know-how, enabling the development and preservation of traditions. Ensure accessibility of CSR objectives with its audience, as well as not being exclusionary in its branded ecological solutions. Embrace new, inclusive narratives with regard to accessible ecology. #AccessibleEcology #InclusiveSustainability #CulturalRespect

Please share this survey widely with listserves as we want to make sure to include people from all areas of life, community members, researchers, policy makers, and more! It is super short and fast! I am part of ICARP IV, an Arctic research planning initiative developing priorities for the next 10 years. This impacts all Arctic nations, Indigenous Peoples, and the world. I am specifically supporting a team looking at sustainability. We have a survey and want your input!    The survey is: “Understanding the dynamics and resilience of Arctic social-ecological systems to foster a sustainable future”   https://lnkd.in/esUWPE8u #Arctic #Indigenous #community #sustainability #environment #ice #ecology #glacier #economy #built

In the realm of #urban #development, the paramount challenge lies in crafting #environments that foster the flourishing of both #human populations and #biodiversity while respecting #ecological #thresholds. My research endeavors are centered around the cultivation of #circular #cities and the establishment of #climate-#resilient communities. We stand ready to provide comprehensive assistance, aiding in the formulation of optimal decisions and policies aimed at expediting the advancement of cities.

It is both, incomprehensible and amazing, how much damage a species born in the fractions of the last second of Earth’s life hour was able to cause, out of greed, to its home planet!

I want to try something radical. Money shouldn't exclude us from experiences, and value can be shared in other ways. I'm now offer eco-coaching on the basis of conscious participation. You can pay what you feel like, based on your means. For as many sessions as you want. Eco-coaching is about improving your wellbeing and that of the planet. By allowing others to help, we open up to new opportunities and ways of being, that heal the blockages we hold inside of us, and the wounds that we have inflicted on the Earth. I have the courage to offer all I can, and to not let money guide the way I help people. Do you have the courage to see how I could help? #participativeeconomy #ecocoaching #climatechange #sustainability #ecologicaltransition #ecology #wellbeing

Forest Bridges integrates Western science and #indigenousknowledge , along with practitioner experience, in its Active Conservation Management strategies for the dry, moist and transitional forests on the 2.9 million acres of #ONCLands in western Oregon. As such, we're excited to see this greatly anticipated report: "Braiding Indigenous and Western Knowledge for Climate-Adapted Forests: An Ecocultural State of Science Report." It was prepared by an intercultural, interdisciplinary team of Indigenous and Western scholars and practitioners, and is intended to inform future climate-adapted land #management decisions across the United States.

🔍🌀 FLUX Review Lens of the Week: Care-ing Capacity In ecology, “carrying capacity” is the number of living things a habitat can support without environmental degradation. Perhaps we're hitting a moment of “care-ing capacity.” The protracted poly-crises is stretching us to the edges of what we can care about (and for) before hitting personal and societal degradation. How much can we hold? How can stretch our fields of care safely? How might we renew our capacity? Especially in light of inadequate safety nets, underinvested care infrastructure, media amplification, and frayed social fabric. When in doubt, look to nature. A useful metaphor for our moment. 🔍 Grateful to the flux gang for honing this lens.
