In this special series, we explore how regenerative practice is helping people collectively re-design their communities, cities and economies to create a thriving home for all on our planet. In this first episode, co-hosts Josie Warden and Daniel Christian Wahl discuss what it means to think and act regeneratively.

Every second of every day, our cells are fed, nourished, and regenerated by the living systems around us -- and our presence, in turn, enables other species to thrive. But our current way of living is interfering with these vital processes and undermining the very systems that enable life on this planet.

As communities around the world grapple with the devastating consequences of a climate emergency and converging social and economic crises, there is growing consensus that our current way of thinking will not bring about the change we need in the time we have. We urgently need to rethink who we are as a species and our role on this planet. We need a new collective story for humanity – one that recognises our interconnection with the rest of life on Earth and galvanises collaborative action towards regenerative futures.    

Josie Warden leads regenerative design practice at the RSA, working with policy makers, businesses and civil society organisations to explore how design can shape regenerative futures where people and planet thrive together for the long term.

Dr Daniel Christian Wahl works internationally as a consultant and educator in regenerative design, whole systems design and transformative innovation. His vast catalogue of forward-thinking work (notably his book Designing Regenerative Cultures) has inspired and enabled people from all walks of life to apply regenerative design to their own contexts. In 2021, he was awarded the RSA's prestigious Bicentenary Medal for his contribution to the field of regenerative design.
