Discovered a very interesting blog by Paul Clark on the different ways of thinking we need to adopt in order to adapt to climate change. He has written about the need to adopt 'ecological literacy' if we are to survive as a species. This represents a shift in thinking, from structural -> process thinking, from measuring -> mapping, from objective -> contextual knowledge, from dealing in numbers to identifying patterns. This shift is already evident in many areas of thinking, eg organisational development, social media, some parts of academia, but will need to become a lot more pervasive and infiltrate the education system too.
He's a rare academic that takes a keen interest in getting involved in 'real life' - being a key player in Incredible Edible Todmorden. I'm looking forward to meeting with him on Friday, in the meantime I thought I would share one of his diagrams.
