Partnership
in the exploration of future pathways towards a circular society is a key enabler to mobilize
common imaginaries and deliver systemic and impactful sustainable innovations.
To succeed in creating a common circular vision, it is paramount to build
systemic knowledge about today and tomorrow.
In order to build a circular future, trends
and future-thinking need to be seen as tools that will create conditions to
imagine pluriversal alternatives of the future at the intersection of today’s
issues and ongoing shifts. In this way, new avenues and actions to shift the
system at scale can be discovered. Yet, without partnership, such approach reveals
itself to be limited by our inability to look at the system-level and beyond the
challenges in front of us.
With a future oriented and systemic approach, all actors are well equipped to identify the triggers, risks and potentials that lie ahead in a novel way. Creating common awareness of change enables to collectively build future opportunities beneficial for the planet, society and economy.
Moreover, a plural speculative practice increases awareness on emerging future needs, builds competence to deal with uncertainty and allows to set foot in uncharted territories by the cultivation of new radical imaginaries required to shift to a truly circular society.
