CAST: The New Architecture for Navigating Our Metacrisis and Beyond

As we hurtle through the early 21st century, it’s clear we’re dealing with a polycrisis — a tangled web of climate change, biodiversity loss, economic instability, and societal upheaval.

It’s what some call a “metacrisis” — a convergence of interconnected challenges, demanding solutions that aren’t just fixes but whole new systems. Whatever you call it, it’s not business as usual, and it’s going to demand more than a few quick fixes or Band-Aid solutions.

We’re talking about a deep, systemic shift that cuts across ecology, economy, technology, and governance.

We need new ways to steer through the storm of interconnected challenges — the polycrisis and metacrisis impacting our ecosystems, economies, and societies.

-Enter CAST — the Complex Adaptive System for Transition — a model that, if we get it right, could guide us to not only survive the crises but build a resilient, sustainable future.

CAST isn’t just a framework; it’s a compass and a lifeboat rolled into one — a model that, if we get it right, could help us not only survive but build something new and sustainable from the fragments of our current crises.

Built on the principles of complex adaptive systems (CAS), it’s designed to adapt, evolve, and…
