This document discusses the need to transition to more sustainable and regenerative systems of living and economies. It provides examples of existing ecovillages and sustainable communities from around the world. The document advocates designing systems using principles from permaculture, natural capitalism, and the blue economy to meet human needs while regenerating the environment.

36. Natural
Capitalism:
CreaLng
the
Next
Industrial
RevoluLon
is
a
1999
book
co-‐authored
by
Paul
Hawken,
Amory
Lovins
and
Hunter
Lovins.
It
has
been
translated
into
a
dozen
languages
and
was
the
subject
of
a
Harvard
Business
Review
summary.[2]
In
Natural
Capitalism
the
authors
describe
the
global
economy
as
being
dependent
on
natural
resources
and
ecosystem
services
that
nature
provides.
Natural
Capitalism
is
a
criLque
of
tradiLonal
"Industrial
Capitalism",
saying
that
the
tradiLonal
system
of
capitalism
"does
not
fully
conform
to
its
own
accounLng
principles.
It
liquidates
its
capital
and
calls
it
income.
It
neglects
to
assign
any
value
to
the
largest
stocks
of
capital
it
employs
-‐
the
natural
resources
and
living
systems,
as
well
as
the
social
and
cultural
systems
that
are
the
basis
of
human
capital."
Natural
capitalism
recognizes
the
criLcal
interdependency
between
the
producLon
and
use
of
human-‐made
capital
and
the
maintenance
and
supply
of
natural
capital.[3]
The
authors
argue
that
only
through
recognizing
this
essenLal
relaLonship
with
the
Earth's
valuable
resources
can
businesses,
and
the
people
they
support,
conLnue
to
exist.

needs
with
what

have,
introducing

inspired
by
nature,
genera0ng

benefits,
including

and

offering
more
with
less:
This
is
the
Blue
Economy.”
Gunter
Pauli,
ini@ator
of
the
Blue
Economy
The
Blue
Economy
is
a
progressive
metamorphosis
from
the
Green
Economy.
Based
on
the
noLon
of
thinking
ahead
so
as
to
create
more
good,
instead
of
less
bad,
it
uses
strategic,
opportunity-‐driven
raLonale
to
connect
the
environmental,
social
and
financial
puzzle.
It
is
a
business
response
to
a
changing
economic
landscape
in
which
resource
depleLon
and
social
costs
are
unsustainable.
38. The
Blue
Economy:
10
years
-‐
100
innovaLons
-‐
100
million
jobs
is
a
book
by
Gunter
Pauli.
The
book
expresses
the
ulLmate
aim
that
a
Blue
Economy
business
model
will
shik
society
from
scarcity
to
abundance
"with
what
we
have",
by
tackling
issues
that
cause
environmental
and
related
problems
in
new
ways.
The
book
highlights
potenLal
benefits
in
connecLng
and
combining
seemingly
disparate
environmental
problems
with
open-‐source
scienLfic
soluLons
based
upon
physical
processes
common
in
the
natural
world,
to
create
soluLons
that
are
both
environmentally
beneficial
and
which
have
financial
and
wider
social
benefits.
The
book
suggests
that
we
can
alter
the
way
in
which
we
run
our
industrial
processes
and
tackle
resultant
environmental
problems,
refocusing
from
the
use
of
rare
and
high-‐energy
cost
resources
to
instead
seek
soluLons
based
upon
simpler
and
cleaner
technologies.
The
book
aims
to
inspire
entrepreneurs
to
adopt
its
insights,
by
demonstraLng
ways
in
which
this
can
create
economic
benefits
via
job
creaLon,
reduced
energy
use,
and
more
revenue
streams
from
each
step
of
the
process,

involved
