Epilogue: Rebuilding the Earth—Yes, We Can!

Abstract

Chapter 6, Epilogue: Rebuilding the Earth—Yes, We Can! emphasises that this is all about culture change, addressed with the optimism that regenerative change is already happening in scattered instances across the world. These exemplars can teach us much about how to rethink our decisions at international, national, state and right down to highly localised scales, and to achieve coherence between all these scales. Action at all levels, and from all sectors of society, is required to rebuild the metaphorical ark of natural species, processes and ecosystem services supporting continuing human security and wellbeing.
