Many in higher education seek to define how to respond to our environmental crisis. Our 20th and early 21st century failures to resolve the crisis have revealed that a focus on “sustainability” is inadequate in its goals, methods, and public appeal. Higher education must now advance its contribution to preparing graduates to enact the regeneration the damaged natural world requires. We now must teach the deep “why” of caring for our home planet as our life partner, exceed the standard of sustainability to focus on the more enduring and restorative standard of regeneration, and offer our students knowledge and skills for effective regenerative action. Colleges and universities can define their primary goal as teaching students how to tend the flourishing and regeneration of the life community via an emphasis on regenerative collaboration. Regenerative collaboration consists of principles that can guide higher education into a stage of deep contribution to regeneration of the natural world and human well-being. The framework of regenerative collaboration promotes transformation of academic disciplines, academic departments, and courses and calls for development of practical regenerative skills to be part of every degree program. Regenerative collaboration is a means of enacting higher education’s transition from a knowledge focus to a wisdom and regenerative action focus.

高等教育中的再生合作：超越可持续性和实现再生的框架

高等教育中的许多人试图定义如何应对我们的环境危机。我们在 20 世纪和 21 世纪初未能解决危机表明，对“可持续性”的关注在其目标、方法和公众吸引力方面是不够的。高等教育现在必须促进其为毕业生做好准备，以实现受破坏的自然世界所需的再生。我们现在必须教授作为我们生命伴侣来照顾我们家园星球的深层“原因”，超越可持续性标准，专注于更持久和恢复性的再生标准，并为我们的学生提供有效的再生行动的知识和技能。学院和大学可以将他们的主要目标定义为通过强调再生合作来教学生如何促进生命社区的繁荣和再生。再生合作包含的原则可以引导高等教育进入对自然世界和人类福祉的再生做出深刻贡献的阶段。再生合作的框架促进了学科、学术部门和课程的转型，并呼吁发展实用的再生技能成为每个学位课程的一部分。再生合作是实现高等教育从知识重点向智慧和再生行动重点过渡的一种手段。和课程，并呼吁发展实用的再生技能成为每个学位课程的一部分。再生合作是实现高等教育从知识重点向智慧和再生行动重点过渡的一种手段。和课程，并呼吁发展实用的再生技能成为每个学位课程的一部分。再生合作是实现高等教育从知识重点向智慧和再生行动重点过渡的一种手段。
