Systems thinking

Having this badge means that you can approach a sustainability problem from all sides: you consider time, space and context in order to understand how elements interact within and between systems.
﻿
By completing badge activities, you understand reality in relation to other contexts (local, nation, global) and fields (environment, social, economic, cultural).
﻿
By thinking in systems you are able to identify feedback mechanisms, intervention points and interactive trajectories.
﻿
Earning this badge means that you:
know that every human action has environmental, social, cultural and economic impacts;
can describe sustainability as a holistic concept that includes environmental, economic, social, and cultural issues;
are concerned about the short- and long-term impacts of personal actions on others and the planet.
﻿
This progress badge leads to the 'Embracing complexity in sustainability' badge.
﻿
International partners consortium promotes and endorses sustainable learning and living through '#GoGreen - Youth Navigator' activities.
