Inclusion & Diversity

Overview

Inclusion & Diversity is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing inclusion & diversity in community projects.

Methods and Approaches

So, the way to create a culture that can have inclusive participation for everyone, that is an innovative design and there is a social-productive design for that

Key Insights

Inclusive stakeholder groups: Creating all-inclusive stakeholder groups is important—these groups bring together diverse perspectives and ensure everyone has a voice.

Diversity monitoring: Satellite-based MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) systems can track diversity and carbon, helping secure and protect more of nature. Some practitioners don't believe we need separate water credits—water should be integrated into broader conservation approaches.

Individual stewardship: Today, 80% of the world's biodiversity is actually well taken care of by individuals all over the world—demonstrating the power of distributed stewardship.

Biodiversity value: So much of biodiversity is held by individuals and communities, making them essential partners in conservation.

Seeing diversity: In order to see and appreciate diversity, we need to create conditions that allow diversity to flourish and be visible.

Material connection: By honoring the material things around us, we honor the whole material world—the earth, water, plants, animals, and biodiversity. The biodiversity we're born into is part of all the matter that makes our lives possible.

Diversity loss: What allows diversity to exist is being lost—we're losing 69% of all diversity in the last 60 years, and it's only getting worse. This highlights the urgency of protecting diversity.

Social diversity: Social diversity and ecological diversity are related—understanding how they connect is important for creating truly inclusive and diverse communities.
