This an evolving glossary that aim to opening up the essential terms and frameworks related to sustainability, sustainable transformation and sustainable design. It makes also the articles and my thinking more understandable.
Renegerative design
The term ‘regenerative’ is worth opening up because it actually goes beyond sustainability. Sustainable development focuses in harm mitigation and is typically defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Regenerative means an ecological worldview that emphasises the co-evolution between human and natural systems and is seeking to achieve net positive benefits for integrated natural and social systems. This means that regenerative thinking is not only about avoiding the future destruction but addressing also the previously acquired ecological debt that is mailably a result of human activity. One could also say that regenerative thinking and design is tackling the anthropocenic wicked issues.
