The two Action (combined) scenarios

COMMONS TRANSITION

Vision: Bottom-up/Commons revolution/degrowth and dematerialisation—rapid consumption reduction— shift in power structures to democratic and participative communities - highly technology enabled

Pathway: Citizens and communities create and apply new ways of providing for themselves, building sophistication in how they manage these systems for the common good as peers. Governance and institutions adapt and evolved to operate as a ‘Partner State’ facilitating commons management.

GREEN GROWTH

Vision: The right policies are in place to incentivise corporate innovation for rapid decarbonisation— government and business working together, within the current economic and neoliberal paradigm.

Pathway: Cities lead, building political pressure to drive changes to state and national policy.
