What if sustainability started with changing how we think and act? In this episode, host Emma Cox welcomes Daniel Lawse, Chief Century Thinker at Verdis Group, to discuss how long-term thinking and living systems frameworks can transform sustainability strategies. Daniel explains how viewing nature as an interconnected system—not just a resource—can inspire adaptive, regenerative, and resilient solutions.
Together, they explore the power of behavior change rooted in shifting worldviews and aligning actions with personal and organizational values. Daniel shares practical tactics for driving behavior change, including community-based social marketing and effective communication strategies. He emphasizes the importance of understanding motivations and removing barriers to sustainable actions.
