"The world is facing multiple — potentially catastrophic — crises, including
inequality, poverty, food insecurity, climate change and biodiversity loss.
These issues are interconnected and require systemic solutions, as changes in
one system affects others.

However, human systems have largely failed to acknowledge their connection to
ecological systems. Most modern societies have dominating and exploitative
relationships with nature, which are underpinned by imperialist and dualistic
thinking that divides living beings into racial, gender, class or species
hierarchies.

Our current mindset, with its focus on competition, growth and profit, has been
a key contributor to social and ecological crises. Even more alarming is that
this mindset has depleted nature to the point that it may soon fail to sustain
human and non-human lives entirely."
