When Resilience and Sustainability are Not Enough: Regenerative Design Practice is the Answer
This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. The world needs to rapidly reverse the trends caused by extraction economy processes and recognize that sustainability and resilience are not enough to meet global 2030 commitments. Increasing carrying capacity and regenerating the earth is needed to achieve a future of equity and abundance while greatly reducing GHG emissions along with building resilient capacity. Project by project, from small to large, architects can and must be the change to meet these challenges along with dedicated industry partners. This presentation demonstrates projects that fuse together resiliency and sustainability while incorporating ecosystem services strategies to advance regenerative design practice.
