This course explores how value systems can be redesigned to support environmental sustainability, social fairness, and long-term resilience. You will learn about the history of value systems thinking and understand that our current system represents one approach among many alternatives-new and more sustainable models are both possible and necessary to address global challenges like climate change and inequality.

You will study innovative frameworks such as Doughnut Economics, natural capital accounting, Economic Geography, Diverse Economies, and wellbeing value systems as alternatives to traditional growth-focused systems. The course encourages you to critically examine how different value systems practices might be revitalised and applied to current socio-economic challenges.

This course is an option course in the Regenerative Futures minor.
