We are an amazingly interconnected world. This happened millionsofyears before modern trade and tech made the world flatandinterconnected. Interconnected organic and inorganicmicrosystemsinteract to form a complex system. Different butrelated terms -Chaos Theory, Butterfly Effect, Telecoupling, GaiaHypothesis – areused to express the interconnectedness between andthe impacts ondifferent microsystems. A policy decision, a naturaloccurrence, asocial event, a technology application, may cascadeevents witheffects elsewhere. We are beginning to realise thestrength ofinterconnectedness and interactions betweenmicrosystems. Bigproblems like those we are faced with require bigsolutions, basedon a systems approach. Clayton and Radcliffe in'Sustainability – ASystems Approach' note that “A systems approach…provides amulti-dimensional framework in which information fromdifferentdisciplines and domains can be integrated without beingforced intoa one-dimensional mapping” The whole must be looked at,as well asthe parts and the connections between the parts and theinfluencethey exact upon each other in order to understand it fully(as wellas the environment in which the system is placed and anyexternalfactors or mitigating forces) O'CONNOR & MCDERMOTT inThe Artof Systems Thinking. Advanced technologies are aidingcomprehensionand in speculating the impacts, but the real impactsare stilllargely unknown. The complexity of system grows with theincreasingunderstanding of the interconnectedness. Scientificunderstandingof complex interactions between microsystems and asystems approachare required to build the regenerative capacity ofEarth to sustainlife. Development and deployment of solutions,including dataanalytics, artificial intelligence, biomaterials,genetics, mustidentify their impact on microsystems and be based onsystemsthinking. CII’s 14th Sustainability Summit is designed tobring tofore science-based (natural sciences, social sciencesandphilosophy) understanding, examples of systems approach inpolicymaking, product design, and business reengineering,andsustainability solutions that provide intergenerational justice..
