Context of IMAGI-NATION

‍

A path to centring Nature

‍

To set the context of AIME & our relational network ‘IMAGI-NATION’, we have followed a design approach of building on the knowledge that is already here (as evident in the image to the left) - Indigenous intelligence and the wisdom of nature which have co-evolved since the origin of humanity on our planet.

A critical briefing to CEOs around the world was released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in September 2021 (included in the following pages) showcasing the potential value for human kind to transition to nature-centred economies, with one of the many headlines being the $125 trillion valuation of Nature’s contribution to our economies which is yet to be accounted for and properly valued, let alone form the basis for our economic design into the future. AIME provides a bridge for human kind to move from economies that exclude nature to those that centre it - our plan until 2033 is to provide the infrastructure and network to lead with relations to move the monetary resources towards nature and valued on our balance sheets with a cross section of leaders, across races, ages & borders, all striving to centre nature.

‍

But before we look forward, a quick look back (the full background and history is presented on the last page). We have 18+ years of track record in shifting deeply entrenched systems and solving intractable problems by bridging marginalised youth & communities in 52+ countries by valuing their intelligence with people & organisations holding power to create a healthy relational network and an alternative economic framework, independently tested and validated by Harvard, KPMG, several world-leading Universities, systems thinkers & more. Born out of the longest continuous human civilisation on Earth, with 60,000+ years of imagination backing us, AIME is an Indigenous-led global systems-change movement solving the greatest challenges of our times. Created in 2005, AIME has been harnessing the power of mentoring and imagination to address social inequity and the biodiversity crisis by leading the redesign of our mainstream systems  via centring Indigenous Knowledge Systems and intelligence from other marginalised sources and bringing them to the front of the design queue. Understanding the need for changing the systems that underpin everything to truly build a fairer world, we have been building a suite of systemic solutions that integrate wellbeing at all levels for people and planet. We have digitised all this in October 2023 and have launched our most-comprehensive systemic solution, fusing the best of humanity powered by the internet to create a virtual nation called IMAGI-NATION, designed using Indigenous knowledge systems thinking and other marginalised intelligence systems.

‍

Now, we look forward again. Our work on centring nature is happening in three ways, firstly via IMAGI-NATION, the relational network. IMAGI-NATION brings together a cross section of systems-change makers - including leaders in Indigenous knowledge systems, education, governments, corporations, youth and everyday citizens - across continents through unlikely connections, creating opportunities to deepen exchange between those inside and outside of the margins, thus modelling a healthy relational network and economy.

‍

Secondly, in Embassy - the embassy work of AIME is to activate places as deep hubs of IMAGI-NATION and in the process, open up the birds-eye view and activate human imagination to its fullest so we can access the knowledge beyond our current frameworks. There is a huge cognitive rewiring needed for  our current power-holders and mainstream leaders to do if we want a chance to achieve this move to nature and the embassy work allows a ceremony / passageway for movement from today to tomorrow. Thirdly, our Tool creation work allows free, universal access to knowledge that centres and values custodianship, activates imagination and passes on deep wisdom as mentors for humanity to have the necessary intelligence brought in from outside the margins in translation to help us be smart enough collectively to find this path to nature.

‍

Why does our plan end in 2033 you may wonder? To model a healthy regenerative system, and to not fall into the traps of limitless growth, AIME has an intentional death date set for March 2033, after which we cease operations & return our IP back to Nature and the ecosystem around us. This isn't an ending, but a powerful act of regeneration and knowledge transfer for greater systems health.

‍

In order to place the context of this work properly, we have worked with layers — the following pages showcase the original CEO briefing from WEF which we have annotated throughout showcasing the different elements of our work and how they can be useful in centring nature for humanity, our more-than-human kin and our planet.

We hope you enjoy the journey,
