Jan 30, 2025 | Economy

by James Rebanks in UnHerd…The answer is to be ready, with a more resilient and secure food system before something goes wrong.

Certainty is boring

Jan 28, 2025 | Resilience

by Jeanette Bronee in her blog…We may never know exactly what to do to meet the future and its constantly changing reality, but aligning with what matters becomes our North Star. To avoid getting stuck on the hamster wheel of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt), we must learn to pause more.

After all, change and growth are essential to life—that’s why certainty is boring.

Is the world becoming uninsurable?

Jan 23, 2025 | Environment

by Charles Hugh Smith on Substack…This is not an abstraction, though many are treating it as a policy debate. As noted previously here, the insurance industry is not a charity, and insurers bear the costs that are increasing regardless of opinions and policy proposals. Insurers operate in the real world, and their decisions to pull out of entire regions, reduce coverage and increase premiums are all responses to soaring losses.

Jan 22, 2025 | Environment

IPBES report highlights Indigenous & local knowledge as key to ‘transformative change’

Jan 21, 2025 | Environment

by Sonam Lama Hyolmo in Mongabay…The report identifies three underlying causes of the biodiversity crisis: the disconnection from nature, inequitable power and wealth distribution, and the prioritization of short-term gains. Karen O’Brien, co-chair of the assessment and a sociology professor at the University of Oslo, said these issues have led to destructive views and behaviors that exacerbate biodiversity loss, including the risk of irreversible tipping points that threaten ecological systems.

The bioregional vision of Donella Meadows

Jan 17, 2025 | People

by Isabel Carlisle in Bioregional Learning Center… ‘Helping people and cultures all over the world develop and express their own capacity to solve their own problems, consistent with their own needs and with the ecosystems around them.
