Original art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘Sustainability necessitates a human community living in ecosymbiosis with the ecological web (ecoweb) it inhabits,’ digital (2026).
If companies/organizations truly wish to achieve sustainability, they must transition from merely complying with CSR/ESG reporting/philanthropic requirements/obligations to reframing organizational strategies that promote collaborative regeneration, an action principle that has the goal of strengthening EcoResilience, thereby reducing/eliminating inequity and ecocide.
Original art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘EcoResilience — economic and ecosymbiotic resilience of a community and their ecoweb,’ digital (2026).
To solve the ecosocial challenges of ecocide and inequity plaguing most of our world, we must urgently replace the action principle of corporate extractivism with the alternative action principle of collaborative regeneration that has the goal of strengthening EcoResilience.
Original art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘A Sahankuri (thriving together), Sustainable Agroecological Hub Anchored in Native Knowledge, Use, and Regenerative Innovation,’ digital (2026).
Urban-centric systems and lifestyles contribute significantly to the most pressing problems, especially poverty, environmental degradation, and injustice. A network of diverse Sahankuri (Sustainable Agroecological Hub Anchored in Native Knowledge, Use, and Regenerative Innovation) across bioregions is a regenerative rural alternative.
Part 1: Original Art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations,’ digital (2025).
The Sustainable Development Goals provide a shared vocabulary and measurable targets that partially illuminate the impact of FiveBecomings projects, yet these must be reinterpreted through ecosymbiotic self-reliance, relational wellbeing, and community sovereignty beyond extractivist models of ‘development’.
