Currently pursuing a climate fellowship (Learning For Action) with Terra.do where I came across this video. Our first assignment is to envision a world in 2040 where climate change problems have been solved for. We are tasked with a few questions as follows 1. How did we get here? 2. What role did you play in making this world a reality? 3. What is the biggest challenge you faced along the way, and how did you overcome it? I think asking each other (parents, friends, teachers, politicians) our visions of the world is very important

We're watching this for a course in sustainability studies at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Asheville! :)

This is such a beautiful & heartfelt sharing, I could feel her passion ooozing from the talk, to the extent it almost brought me to tears. Lets all practice recursive envisioning with each other.

Our visions come from our childhood. At that time we decode, from actions or literally, our parents' unattained goals and pains. Our visions try to satisfy our parents.

Donella is indeed asking the IMPORTANT Questions to reach one day SUSTAINABILITY ..... Thank YOU for sharing this video !

It is very clear that 30 years after Sustainability Science emerged, based on the results, it is the Science of the Possible, we have to go ahead and formulate the Science for the world we want, the Science without limits of imagination, to materialize our dreams, a Science that brings responsiveness and responsibility

Thank you for posting. She was an inspiring leader. And a pioneering systems thinker.

I'm totally on the side of Donella. My question is about when growing is shared as a vision by majority of people in the world, how we can ignore it and say it is stupid?

the heart and core of the matter! Thank you #3rdSpace for posting this in your newsletter!

An impressing Women, and an even more impressive teacher.. heard some of her lectures about System Dynamics beein courious looking how limits to growth was constucted.. She was a great human as i feel

In my understanding, she enlightened

bro this lady is SPITTING

Since the early 1990's we have emitted half the CO2 what us as humanity ever emitted .... Thats where we were going since she spoke ... Good luck with the rest .

she did a great favor to humanity, however late. She told us that there are limits to everything - overshoot always leads to collapse. And collapsing we are, by all means, today. Modern civilization epic failure. 8 billion cases studies...
