On one small and fragile planet, it seems the human ‘way of life’ is on a collision course with human ‘life-support’, as 8–10 billion people all try to live in material affluence. Some argue for technology solutions, others for markets, regulation, lifestyle or cultural change. Experience so far shows that none of these on its own is enough. So, we need to look for the synergies between, and the pathways which can lead towards them. And as such pathways are beyond any individual mind or organization, we need collaborative learning and thinking – a kind of collective eco-social intlligence, or a ‘deeper ecological mind’….
