Systems Thinking Ontario – 2023-03-13 Ecological Limits to Development: Living with the Sustainable Development Goals – celebrating the open access release of The Ecological Limits to Development with Katie Kish and Stephen Quilley

March 13 (the second Monday of the month) is the 108th meeting for Systems Thinking Ontario. The registration is on Eventbrite at https://ecological-limits.eventbrite.ca .

Ecological Limits to Development: Living with the Sustainable Development Goals

This session celebrates the open access release of The Ecological Limits to Development!  

Katie Kish and Stephen Quilley critique and reimagine the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.  The existing SDGs are challenged through perspectives of ecological economics and complexity thinking.  New goals that align more thoroughly to biophysical limits to growth are suggested. 

Ways in which this set of new SDGs could be made usable for Canadian municipalities are also considered.

From the book description …

  • Drawing on ideas from H.T. Odum, Herman Daly, Zigmunt Bauman, and many others, this book provides guiding research for a convergence between North and South that is bottom-up, household-centred, and predicated on a re-emerging domain of Livelihood.
