Accelerating investments in sustainable landscapes.

Not a day goes by without urgent calls to mitigate climate change, support climate adaptations, reverse biodiversity loss, restore natural ecosystems, and support the people and organizations working to regenerate the land and uplift communities.

Despite this accelerating sense of urgency – mainstream systems still mostly reward environmentally and socially extractive practices. Major policy, business, investment, and funding models are yet to transform at the speed and scale needed to stave off accelerating loss of ecological function and to advance inclusion and well-being.

All over the world – community members, land stewards, entrepreneurs, innovators, funders and investors are choosing a different path: they advance locally-led approaches, practices, and solutions, rooted in ecological, social, cultural, and other bioregional assets.

These practices create cycles of mutually reinforcing benefits. They restore ecosystems, revitalize communities, re-center economic activity on life-serving projects and enterprises. They value nature and culture. They develop projects and ventures that create multiple regenerative value streams.

There is a growing awareness, globally, that these solutions and the change agents who advance them play a critical role in advancing a thriving future for all.

Policy-makers, researchers, funders, investors, business leaders, citizens, and consumers everywhere are paying attention, taking action, and shifting their focus toward nature-positive, equitable, people-centered practices.

This offers land stewards, community leaders, social entrepreneurs, responsible businesses, funders, and investors everywhere the opportunity to advance models of development that are ecologically, socially, and economically regenerative.

The case for acceleration

These trends are promising.

However – progress is still too slow and fragmented, the promise of regenerative models of development far from being realized.

Regenerative leaders face significant resource constraints, insufficient access to relevant knowledge, innovations, and capital, and need pathways to develop the organizational, financial, or technical capacity to realize the potential of their projects.

Critically – they also struggle to turn the ecological and social development potential of their activities into viable economic, financial, and business models.

Our mission is to contribute to the emergence of a nature-positive, equitable future.

We do this by developing programs, accelerating enterprises, and mobilizing financial flows to protect nature, regenerate landscapes, and develop equitable economies.
