John Giordanengo, author of “Ecosystems as Models for Restoring Our Economies,” is the featured speaker at Southern Oregon Climate Action Now’s February Monthly General Meeting. Drawing from three decades of experience and research in business, economics, ecology, and conservation, John H. Giordanengo explores the dynamic relationship between three governing components of highly complex systems — diversity, energy, and trade — to reveal a novel hypothesis on the structure of sustainable economies. The inspiration for his work is our economy’s sister system, nature. Giordanengo offers a novel approach to achieving lasting conservation, recognizing that humanity’s most serious concerns cannot be resolved by just environmental and social advocates. See more.
