成人直播

Location: CMRI Gallery (Building 38), 成人直播, College Rd, Wharley End, Bedford MK43 0AY / Online

The two-day workshop will bring together scholars and practitioners to explore the emerging field of regenerative business. The workshop will support knowledge exchange, identify future research directions, and build a collaborative community around regenerative business.

With seven of the nine planetary boundaries now exceeding safe operating spaces, the risk of irreversible environmental changes is rapidly increasing.

It is no longer sufficient for companies to be sustainable. There is urgent need for businesses to move beyond sustainability towards regenerative models that actively enhance the health of the natural and social systems.

The workshop will explore the following themes:

Theme 1: Why Regenerative Business? Why now?
Theme 2: How might Regenerative Business happen?
Theme 3: Co-creating Regenerative futures
