Carbon is not the enemy …
Fairsnape
December 12, 2018
If we are to address climate change, avoid climate breakdown, cap global temperature increase to 1.5 and to face up to the IPCC 2018 Report warnings, then only reducing carbon from buildings and construction will not be enough, we need to think different think bigger, think regenerative.

Sustainable Development Goals and Regenerative Sustainability in Higher Education
Sustainability Journal
January 13, 2019
Humans are at the center of global climate change: The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are igniting sustainability with proactive, global, social goals, moving us away from the Brundtland paradigm ‘do nothing today to compromise tomorrows generation’. This promotes a regenerative shift in the sustainability concept, no longer only considering resources and energy, but also significant human-centric attributes.

Have you heard of the living building challenge? It's a relatively little known (at least in the UK) certification scheme that likens buildings to flowers, and has absolute imperatives with concerns to energy, water and air quality instead of requesting incremental improvements.
For those of you that think that BREEAM or LEED are too little too late to make a real impact on the environment, LBC might be the answer for you. Enjoy this fascinating interview with Martin Brown, LBC pioneer in the UK and ranking among the top ten influencers and experts in sustainability in the Onalitica's list (Bill Gates being the first!!). He also gives us his tips on how to enjoy our sustainability consultancy jobs more.

What can we learn from International Sustainability Standards.
Future Build
March 05, 2019
A session with will draw on approaches taken from international standards, such as RELI, SITEs, Ecodistricts, EDGE, Powerhouse and, above all, the Living Building Challenge. It will examine the framework tools used and discuss their relevance to the UK. The Living Building Challenge (LBC) describes itself as the world’s most rigorous proven performance standard for buildings. It is a framework to create spaces that, like a flower, give more than they take. Through its seven petals or performance areas – water, energy, materials, place, equity, beauty, health and happiness – the LBC tackles this ambitious goal: what if every single act of design and construction could make the world a better place? LBC focuses on regenerative design to restore our environment and rethinking buildings as biological organisms integrated into our ecosystem.

Regen Notes

The most important question we should now be asking is are we degenerative or regenerative? Are our desicsions and actions healing or harming the future?

Aldo Leopold summed it up way back  “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.”

Regen Notes set out on its journey in January 2021 as a newsletter of regenerative news, stories and more. It is a companion to Zoom Regenerative events and podcasts where we explore spaces between regenerative dots, share themes and work that invigorates, inspires and feeds our curiosity. Rediscover highlights from the 2021 editions and Subscribe for 2022 editions.
