In the face of a deepening ecological crisis, a new approach to financing regeneration is urgently needed.
Bioregional Financing Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet proposes a groundbreaking solution: a network of bioregional institutions designed to empower communities and channel financial resources to grassroots regeneration.
As awareness of the polycrisis grows, a wave of capital is forming that is attempting to avert further ecological, social, and economic collapse. And yet, there is a significant risk that if this capital flows through a financial architecture rooted in the same inequitable power structures and logic based on abstraction, it will simply perpetuate, and perhaps even accelerate, existing extractive processes. At this pivotal moment, the authors propose a new layer in the global financial architecture, through the creation of Bioregional Financing Facilities to serve every bioregion on Earth.
Bioregional Financing Facilities can drive the decentralization of financial resource governance, the design of project portfolios for systemic change, and the transition to a regenerative economy. They have the potential to become the connective tissue between financial resources and on-the-ground regenerators. They enable integrated capital raised to flow to aggregated portfolios of regenerative projects on the ground. In return, benefits can flow back to investors in a community-determined, non-extractive way. This book lays out how this infrastructure can put financial systems in service to life.
