Becoming a Real Systems Thinker

[Rilles]

Will be sharing my notes on Systems Thinking here. 

[Rilles]

Climate Change solutions using Leverage Points, from low leverage to very high leverage. From easiest to implement to hardest. (Very basic stuff, Climate Change is way more complex than I can fit in a journal, this is just practice.)

 

 

Changing the Parameters and Material Conditions.

12. Putting up defenses like walls against flooding, inventing technology to prevent damage to infrastructure, preventing forest fires. Creating a carbon tax. Doing protests in the street (Extinction Rebellion, Greta Thunberg.)

Decreasing Positive Feedback Loops

7. Slowing down the Albedo Effect. Planting new forests. 

 

Changing Information Flows

6. Climate education in school, more corporate transparency. Regulations on anti-climate science propaganda. Putting responsibility on the big corporations instead of the consumers. Making Science more marketable and accessible to more people.

 

Changing the Rules

5. Climate regulations, laws and punishments for big corporations. Making government oil lobbying illegal, making fossil fuel illegal, regulating deforestation. Replacing dirty energy with Green energy and new technology. Think Paris Agreement.

Changing the Goal of the System

3. Sustainable living and survival of the species instead of eternal economic growth. 

 

Changing the paradigm

2. Sustainable living, seeing earth as a whole, learning to love nature, stabilizing economic growth. Seeing Green energy as viable and something to make money on.
