Tensions from embedding initiatives within dominant systems

In debates about social ecological transformation, most conversations focus on what governments, corporations, orinternational bodies should do. But beneath these big policy debates, there’s another story unfolding: one of ordinary people taking action in their communities. Across the world, citizens are creating local solutions to global problems: developing local energy projects, repair cafés, community-supported agriculture and cooperative housing. These efforts may seem small, but they reflect the very principles social ecological economics stands for: sufficiency, conviviality, cooperation, and care instead of competition and endless growth.
