This postdoc research identifies the prerequisites for ecological communication and decision-making processes. Ecological communication refers to decentralized and mutual learning that occurs in all living systems. The study examines interactions among youth, political decision-makers, funders, social entrepreneurs, NGOs, and other stakeholders. Groundbreaking methods from applied complexity science provide a scientifically sound foundation for leveraging decentralized learning in decision-making. The work is transdisciplinary and contributes to the novel fractal approach to scaling sustainability transitions, where small changes can reflect across society at various levels. The goal is to reduce societal polarization, enhance citizen engagement, increase the sensitivity of decision-makers, and accelerate a nonviolent and inclusive sustainability transition.
