How can we live prefiguratively in the climate future we might want, right now? Why, and how, should climate action be decentralized for effective systems change? How can we transcend boundaries and choose our work in the field? In discussion with Abhayraj Naik, a transdisciplinary practitioner working across climate justice, activism, education, systems change and spiritual ecology. - [exploring systems thinking & sustainability](https://solvesustain.com/blog/exploring-systems-thinking-sustainability/): "There’s so much talk about the system. - [How I became a 'sustainability problem-solver' - Part 3/3](https://solvesustain.com/blog/how-i-became-a-sustainability-problem-solver-part-3-3/): [This article was originally published at The Interview Portal, where you can find more "offbeat, unusual, unconventional and interesting" career interviews! - [How I became a 'sustainability problem-solver' - Part 2/3](https://solvesustain.com/blog/how-i-became-a-sustainability-problem-solver-part-2-3/): [This article was originally published at The Interview Portal, where you can find more "offbeat, unusual, unconventional and interesting" career interviews! - [How I became a 'sustainability problem-solver' - Part 1/3](https://solvesustain.com/blog/how-i-became-a-sustainability-problem-solver-part-1-3/): [This article was originally published at The Interview Portal, where you can find more "offbeat, unusual, unconventional and interesting" career interviews! - [Reparative Water Governance with Neha Mungekar](https://solvesustain.com/podcast/reparative-water-governance-with-neha-mungekar/): Neha Mungekar (LinkedIn →) is a sustainability researcher at IHE Delft working on water systems governance and their transitions to sustainability. We discuss transition management as a way to frame complex sustainability problems, but also its limits when it is applied too technocratically or without context. We also talk about her critique of importing transition ideas into post-colonial settings without adaptation, and her reparative framework centered on improvisation, proximity, restorative justice, and context-specific change. The conversation closes with her work in Bangalore on citizen science and water bodies, where we focus on participation, broader indicators of lake health, and how to adopt a process-based approach to sustainability that embraces failure as learning. - [Circular Packaging Systems with Anjali Patil](https://solvesustain.com/podcast/circular-packaging-systems-with-anjali-patil/): Anjali Patil is a climate entrepreneur working on reducing packaging waste in the FMCG sector.

She shares her opinions on what it takes to make circularity work in practice, in terms of policy, standards, collaboration and more. - [Governing Sustainability Transitions](https://solvesustain.com/blog/governing-sustainability-transitions/): In the previous article in this series on sustainability and systems change, we looked at the “drivers” of transition to sustainability, according to recent research. - [the drivers of transition](https://solvesustain.com/blog/the-drivers-of-transition/): What might it “look like” to “achieve sustainability”? - [evolutionary aspects of the multi-level perspective](https://solvesustain.com/blog/evolutionary-aspects-of-the-multi-level-perspective/): In the last few articles, we examined the need for a “systems science” in order to “achieve sustainability”. - [the multi-level perspective in sustainability transitions](https://solvesustain.com/blog/the-multi-level-perspective-in-sustainability-transitions/): In the last couple of articles, we motivated the need to look at “sustain-ability” from a “systems” perspective. - [the science of systems, the systems of science](https://solvesustain.com/blog/the-science-of-systems-the-systems-of-science/): In the last blog post, we looked at what sustainability (or “sustain-ability”) might mean, for different systems in society - such as the food system, the energy system, a local community, a city, the world etc. - [sustain-ability & systems science](https://solvesustain.com/blog/sustain-ability-systems-science/): I have been thinking over “what sustainability means” for a while now.
