FAQ:

• What is the metacrisis?

Metacrisis is a term used to describe the interconnected, systemic challenges facing humanity today. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including climate change, biodiversity loss, economic inequality, political polarization, and technological disruption.

• What is regeneration?

Regeneration is the inherent ability of a system to repair itself and recover from disturbances. In the context of sustainability, regeneration refers to the capacity of ecosystems and communities to bounce back from challenges, such as environmental degradation or social disruptions.

• How do these concepts differ from sustainability?

While the common understanding of sustainability is often associated with maintaining a balance, the Metacrisis and regeneration suggest a more proactive and transformative approach, aiming to create a sustainable future by addressing the underlying challenges and actively rebuilding our systems.
