#askfedi I need help launching the Make in Place #Design Challenge. I'm looking for feedback, guidance, and mentorship, including incubator/accelerator programs that support #nonprofit initiatives. Do you know of a good fit?
#MakeinPlace proposes a global challenge to explore how #sustainable practices could support each other in #regenerative #circular #systems. Learn more at https://makeinplace.wordpress.com

A call for #collaboration:
Systemic #design can be daunting, and the critical nature of the #climatecrisis doesn’t make it less so. The work must be iterative, with contributing voices and ongoing feedback.
I need help with it. As a writer, I ask questions, document, and consider the larger picture. However, I’m not a subject-matter expert in any science or technique. #SocialEcologicalSystems call for collaboration. The more input, the better.
"My experiences gave me insight into branches of #environmentalism that operated with little overlap. In one role, I managed records on #ecological #stewardship. In another role, I communicated #sustainability initiatives. #Nonprofits marketed #sustainable products and services designed for people, while #ecologicalrestoration happened elsewhere—in wild places most people only visited."

A comprehensive #design anticipates what’s #essential, addressing material needs as a complete experience. This approach regards vital assets as birthrights rather than luxuries. #Smallscale #systems meet material needs by prioritizing direct utility over other assigned values. This immediacy in need-satisfaction reduces disruption, vulnerability, and insufficiency to achieve stable, all-inclusive #livelihoods.

It's day 6 of the #AlterNetSummerSchool in beautiful and sunny Peyresq and we kick-off with Bruno Locatelli talking about "Social-Ecological transformations: Power and justice in the co-production of ecosystem services in Peru"

“Action situations”—instances of decision-making and agency—have become central to studying social–ecological systems. This special feature collects research using the network of action situations (NAS) approach to structure the way these action situations are embedded into broader interdependent instances of decision-making in different policy or discursive realms, spatial and jurisdictional context, or at different institutional levels. In this editorial, we summarize the key themes that emerged throughout the collection of the 17 articles included in this special feature. The editorial emphasizes the value of NAS in appropriately and sensitively reconstructing relations while pursuing consistency in modes of analysis. It highlights as key themes the complementarity of and disconnects between situations, temporality of NAS, and how NAS can structure the analysis of power in SES. Going further, we suggest expanding on the relational turn, developing NAS archetypes, and studying polycentric governance theories and hypotheses using the NAS approach.
