uBuntu Earth: CEBA Activities

Working on the philosophical understanding that human well-being is dependent on environmental health, Wildlands has adopted a CEBA (Community Ecosystems Based Adaptation) model as philosophical construct and organising principle for where we work and what we do. We in the process of mainstreaming it into the green economy as an adaptation tool that promotes social inclusiveness and sustainable development.

The uBuntu Earth programme works with a range of the Trust’s stakeholders with particular emphasis on our project team and top performing Green-preneurs.  The emphasis is on building capacity and enabling this group to ‘progress through the system’ or move on to other green jobs and entrepreneurial enterprises.  Our work is increasingly looking at whole person development and nurturing a new sense of ‘citizenship’; one that sees individuals seeking out and taking responsibility for their role in creating a sustainable future, and an ‘uBuntu Earth’.
