1. Science should provide solutions that address global problems like climate change and food insecurity while also incorporating different knowledge systems and perspectives. 2. Those doing work would benefit from resources like funding, skills training, collaboration, and believing in themselves to enable their work to reach its full potential. 3. Bringing a more holistic science requires supports like tools, technology, openness to different perspectives, and motivation to overcome obstacles.

2. The Questions:
*For many of the following stickies created by
participants at our session ‘Renewed Hope in a
Shared Future for the Planet – Mapping Western
Science With Indigenous Knowledge Systems’ you
will find Q1, Q2 or Q3 on the cards. These refer
to the questions posed on the following slide, that
the sticky notes were in answer to.

3. Q1 - What would you want ‘science’ to
provide, so the planet and its living
beings can thrive?
Q2 - What would you need to enable
your work to reach its full potential?
Q3 - What kind of supports are needed
to bring about a more holistic science for
the future?

1. What would you want
‘Science’ to provide.
― Acknowledgement,
acceptance & practice
within the realm of
continual evolution of
thought, information and
result. Everything changes,
timelines overlap and are
not linear and
consciousness is at the
beginning and end of all,
as an example.

2. What do you need to
enable your work to
reach its full potential?
― Appreciation of
cultural preservation
as a Key component
of ecological
conservation to be
prioritized at the
Global and funding
levels in commerce,
education and
governance.

3. What kind of supports do
you need to bring a more
holistic science for the
future.
― Intergenerational
Engagement
― Multicultural Indigenous

engagement and
embedded practice.

9. East
‘Science’ can provide catalytic
environments for the planet
and its living beings to thrive.
“catalytic environment” =
conditions for needs of the
planet and its living beings to
be met not at the expense of
other living beings.

I think mostly support in a
human element. Lets be
educated on how things were
done before our time and try
to add on that instead of doing
away with our indigenous
ways.

development for
humans that does not
affect nature, but rather
enriches our
environments.

Supports for holistic science:
a) Awareness of how we all rely on
each other an dtherefore more
respect and care (including money
& material comfort) for those
working for our wellbeing each
day. An ethic of love and care even
among those at top of economic
pile and top of political heap.
b) A strong culture of listening to
each other
c) attitude of respect and support
for those who can work on
SYSTEMIC data gathering &
interpretation

learning to have
more holistic
approach.

Solutions offered by
science should be
evidence based but when
making policies the
scientific evidence must
combine with values that
are human centric.

Knowledge & tools for
sustainability for human
beings to better

What would you need to
enable Your work to reach its
full potential?
1. I would need Resources,
skills or Training, funding for
Logistic, Materials office.
Resources like phone, laptop,
stationery, Desk, printing
Machine. Also one needs skills
and expertise to perform any
task. Also one needs Human
capacity to fulfill certain tasks.
