The document discusses rebuilding sustainable, resilient, and vibrant local systems through a process of regeneration. It references concepts from systems thinking, regenerative development, and alternative economies. The goal is to operate on systems from the micro to macro level to transform business, society, and self, with the purposes of developing hybrid enterprises, regenerating local economies, and enhancing individual well-being. A proposed pilot project would focus on the local system in Oltrepò Pavese, Italy.

2. If you think to belong to the “Why Not” or to the “Yes, But” ?
Yes, but …
Why not !

3. What do you think about in the
Scenario of big World changes?
Where do you experience a World
that is ending,
and where do you experience a
World that is borning ?
The
speech
was
made
in
Independence
Hall,
Philadelphia,
July
4,
1994.
<< I think there are good reasons for suggesting that the modern age has ended.
Today, many things indicate that we are going through a transitional period,
when it seems that something is on the way out
and something else is painfully being born >>.

Gunter
Pauli,
ini@ator
of
the
Blue
Economy
The
Blue
Economy
is
a
progressive
metamorphosis
from
the
Green
Economy.
Based
on
the
noNon
of
thinking
ahead
so
as
to
create
more
good,
instead
of
less
bad,
it
uses
strategic,
opportunity-­‐driven
raNonale
to
connect

puzzle.
It
is
a

response
to
a

which

are
