Blueprints overview
(2015 – 2022)
In it’s first decade of work (2013 -2023) r3.0 concentrated on a first set of Knowledge Commons, presenting a systemic approach to collapse avoidance, based on the backcasting of an ideal of a regenerative economy design. Reality has shown that humanity has missed the opportunity to jointly react to the necessities. While the Blueprints were written in the hope to at least smoothen collapse, they remain useful instruments and contain many gems for creating collapse awareness as well as tools that continue to have value in bioregioning.
Our Blueprints represent the core of r3.0’s knowledge creation process from 2013 to 2022, with the goal of identifying the gap between current practice / ambition and necessary progress (based on scientific realities and ethical imperatives) with recommendations on how to fill those gaps. The first phase of Blueprint development (2015-2018) focused on four fields (Reporting, Accounting, Data, and New Business Models) with a fifth Blueprint synthesizing and integrating the other four into an implementation framework (Transformation Journey). The second phase of Blueprint development (2019-2022) focused on Sustainable Finance and Value Cycles, Educational Transformation and Funding Governance for Systemic Transformation, bring the total number of Blueprints up to nine.
The Blueprints built the “engine” of r3.0’s first ever Knowledge Commons, generating the content needed and defining recommended solutions in an iterative manner to fuel innovation and systemic change. Blueprint Lead Authors convened Working Groups of 20+ international experts in a 12-to-18-month process gathering state-of-the-art research, best practices, innovative approaches and co-created recommendations that fed into two Exposure Drafts of the respective Blueprint. The Working Group reviewed each Exposure Draft via an In-Person Working Group Meeting and a Virtual Dialogue (with a Public Comment period added during the second round), after which the Lead Author revised each Blueprint into a Final Report.
As of 2024 r3.0 repositioned itself to serve ‚collapse resilience‘ strategies in Bioregioning.
