ABSTRACT
An ecological civilization represents an exciting potential future of human flourishing on a regenerated Earth. It would require a transformation of our current economy, politics, and mainstream culture, leading to a fundamentally different civilization based on different values, goals, and collective behavior. An ecological civilization arises from modeling human society on nature's wisdom—the same core principles that have kept natural ecologies healthy and resilient over millions of years. It is a vision inspired by life-affirming groups worldwide—Indigenous, political, community-based, and spiritual. While it's visionary and seems a long way off, it may be closer than many people realize.
