Strategic Framework for Sustainability

Project Type

Political

Project Summary

This is an ongoing self study and life experience project to keep abreast of cutting edge ideas and trends about human ecology in order to digest and synthesise these ideas into a coherent Strategic Framework for Sustainability that is easy to understand and implement. My research thus far provides a work-in-progress for a strategic framework model that uses the ecological footprint as the main goal to reach within a specific biocapacity, given a value system based on Permaculture ethics, and, a set of holistic design principles. This strategic framework can be adopted at a national level and drilled down to economic sectors, regional levels, local levels, and, a project specific level.

Project Description

This research is still a work-in-progress but a strategic framework has emerged that essentially plans for nations to curtail their ecological footprint to match their respective biocapacity, at a national level, economic sector level, regional level, project level, etc.  The work-in-progress can be downloaded at www.permaculture2012.co.za/site/files/7042/Strategic_Framework_Sustainability_v3a_Gori.pdf

Updates

Strategic Framework for Sustainability (SFS): Model 4a

The Sustainability Design Principles now include the Restoration of Biocapacity. Some probing questions are asked as to what really is causing Climate Change.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
