Ecozoic Alternatives serves as a program for L4E members and partnering communities to examine and enable ecological political economies in theory and practice.
The Ecozoic Alternatives research group works within higher education to inspire new worldviews and transformative political economies grounded in social-ecological justice, and to provide training and experience in research-to-action for a network of leaders and communities enabling a just transition to an Ecozoic era.
