Achieving CRD requires framings of development that move away from linear paradigms of development as material progress by focusing on diversity and heterogeneity, well-being and equality, not only in contemporary practices, but also pathways of change over time . Such approaches, which are fundamentally aligned with ecological and ecosystem- based environmental assessments that identified heterogeneity of approaches and actions as the most effective path to a sustainable world , emphasise the importance of cultural, linguistic and religious diversity, not merely as alternative sources of information about the world, but as different paradigms of well-being . These include Indigenous and local knowledge that provide alternatives to these framings of the world . This broad reframing of development includes a focus on visions such as 'buen vivir' , ecological Swaraj  and Ubuntu , among others. All are linked by relationships with nature radically different from the Western mechanistic vision, presenting not only framings of development and the environment that yield locally appropriate CRDPs, but serve as examples of alternative ways of living in balance with nature that might inform similar thinking in other places.
