Issue to fix:
Climate change|
Identified root cause:
Status-competition drives quest for high salaries, high salaries drive quest for high growth, high growth impossible to uncouple from environmental footprints, clashes with planetary boundaries.|
Proposed solution:
Develop ecosocial/karma currency (or status point system) to be used alongside salary payments in traditional currencies as supplementary means to honour somebodies “value” (and hence status) to the organisation and society.|
Issues / open questions:
- will it just be pure status, or will there be any use to the points, e.g. like an eco-currency that you can actually by something with? I would tend for making it status-only because an eco-currency is complex and will never be fully “immaterial” / carbon-neutral
- will status/karma salary be made public/transparent?
- how can individual “value” / performance be translated into an objective status/karma point scale? It needs to be “objective” so that its comparable and status points are not used inflationary by some actors and restrictive by others.|
