One Resilient Earth

About One Resilient Earth

Most humans are not prepared to live in a climate altered world. And no policy, plan or initiative happening today to reduce or respond to climate change matches the scale of this global existential threat. For our team, the climate emergency is both the result and the accelerator of a deeper ecological crisis, which stems from a vision of the Earth as resources to tap. We need to transform that vision and all resulting practices now to limit, address and cope with the crisis. We propose to move away from exhausting ourselves, others and nature for some temporary relief or pleasure, and start protecting and regenerating all the ecosystems we host and belong to. Only then can we become more resilient to unavoidable climate instability. We do not have much time to limit the damage that is underway. And even if we had more time, the team has not found a more fulfilling nor joyful work than fostering regeneration and resilience. What do we do? We believe that a change has to happen within individuals’ minds and bodies, in how they relate to living beings, time, and space, to foster the transformation needed to respond to the climate crisis. We also believe that communities are resilient, in the sense that they can recover from hurt, and grow in response to change. We co-design transdisciplinary educational projects with a variety of partners, so as to grow resilience while engaging in the regeneration of communities and/or ecosystems through context-specific initiatives. We mobilize traditional ecological knowledge and modern science, work across disciplines and generations, integrate new technologies when impactful, and value art as a channel for transformation. We enjoy fostering inspiration, global connection, transformative learning, and responsible experimentation.
