We are pleased to announce that, in cooperation with the Lifemap Foundation, led by Edward Darling and Dr. Athan Fox, we will be offering Residential weekends in Cambridge in the UK.
The theme of these Residential weekends will be : “CIRCULARITY: FROM OVERSHOOT TO REGENERATION, a 30-hour Executive Education programme
Circularity is much more than recycling.
This intensive five-day programme explores how leaders can rethink the relationship between Nature, resources, materials, industry, economic growth and value creation, turning circularity into practical strategy.
Led by Dr Athan Fox, scientist, entrepreneur and materials-innovation specialist, and Edward Darling, conservation expert, the programme combines executive discussion, real industrial technologies, case studies and hands-on workshops. Participants will examine Earth Overshoot and biodiversity, GDP and alternative measures of progress, circular business models, advanced recycling and upcycling technologies, and the economics of industrial regeneration.
The Life Map runs through the programme as a decision-making framework, connecting global environmental pressures to place, scarcity, people, investment and action. Participants will get hands-on experience in using the Life Map.
How do we create prosperity without progressively destroying the systems and materials on which prosperity depends?
