Reflective questions for this episode:
We would like to share the intriguing question that Mark Aink raised during the COP26 event in the session chat but which did not make it into the life stream due to time constraints:
"If transformation means we will have to change our culture, and we change the paradigm of separation to inter-being, what is the no.1 value that is the most important to you ?"
Resources:
Eva Karlsson mentions the planetary boundaries framework. You can find more on it at the site of the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
