Key Discussion Concepts
Wellbeing has a lengthy history but is often ill-defined; and is used with reference to people, places and the planet – and to various dimensions of sustainability and resilience (e.g. economic, social, environmental, cultural). Salutogenesis has an explicitly positive focus on what supports thriving and flourishing (rather than just ‘not being ill’). Resilience is a widely used term that interfaces with both ‘salutogenesis’ and sustainability’ and is used in a multitude of ways with reference to individuals, communities, places, environments and infrastructures. Regenerative/Restorative Sustainability looks beyond ‘staying within boundaries’ and reducing negatives to focus on net-positive impacts.
