WEAVING FOR A THRIVING PLANET 45 System Change Bioregional implements system change at two levels. UK LEVEL - Bioregional collaborates with the built environment sector of the UK to co-create new policies for sustainable homes and settlements. UN/ MULTILATERAL LEVEL - Bioregional works with other social entrepreneurs and governments to scale and implement our collective solutions for the SDGs. Frame Change: Mindset Shift Focus Bioregional stimulates people to think and consume differently (both as individuals and others through their work) for happy, healthy lives within the natural limits of the planet while leaving space and resources for other species and nature. Community-based Approach The Bioregional and One Planet living approach is that people co-create an action plan to have buy-in, contribute to, and subsequently follow through with it. Working with social entrepreneurs, communities, and companies to create sustainable communities, products, and services, and using these great examples working with policymakers, government, and the UN system to inform and co-create policy and system change. It leveraged the One Planet Living framework, from helping to create the SDGs to mass tourism events such as the Olympics and the built environment. Scaling & Replication Scaling & Replication Strategy: In Europe, it has people based in the UK, France, Switzerland, and are already working in Cities in Denmark and the UK, and projects and initiatives in France, Portugal and Sweden and Finland. Bioregional also has a network of professional associates across Europe. Scaling Interest: We aim for ecological city and community building in the UK and internationally through our partnerships. Bioregional is open to and able to support others to use One Planet Living in any countries/cities anywhere in the world; with training, digital and PDF documents/resources and advisory services if needed. Scaling & Replication Needs: Bioregional requires funding to expand its work on sustainability and sustainable living further. And perhaps there is a need to translate the resources as it is all in English. Challenges 1. Funds to scale up training and support to maintain personnels in the project. 2. How best to work with others and governments to create a working system where people take responsibility for their actions and treat mother earth with care and respect.
