Bioregioning Earth
Bioregioning Earth Bioregioning Earth is building a knowledge commons for one of the Great Transition’s most promising organizing ideas: realigning human communities, economies, and governance with the living systems of place rather than the political and administrative boundaries inherited from industrial civilization. Its growing database maps organizations and practices across ecosystem regeneration, community governance, bioregional […]
Project Weave
Project Weave Project Weave is working on a critical but largely invisible layer of the Great Transition: the digital infrastructure through which communities build trust, organize, share knowledge, and coordinate collective action. Its core proposition is “protocols, not platforms”—open standards that allow people to move between tools while retaining their identities, relationships, knowledge, and networks, […]
Center for Regenerative Solutions
Center for Regenerative Solutions Center for Regenerative Solutions is working to shift the climate response from simply reducing harm toward restoring the living systems that regulate climate and sustain human communities. Its distinctive contribution is advancing nature-based climate solutions that regenerate soils, forests, watersheds, biodiversity, and the ecological processes through which landscapes capture carbon, cycle […]
Brett KenCairn
Brett KenCairn Brett KenCairn is a pioneering practitioner of community-based living-systems regeneration whose work reframes the climate crisis as fundamentally a crisis of the living Earth. Rather than centering carbon accounting and technological fixes, he points to the degradation of soils, forests, watersheds, biodiversity, and photosynthetic capacity—and to their restoration as a powerful pathway for […]
Cool Boulder
Cool Boulder Cool Boulder is a place-based experiment in what the Great Transition can look like when ecological regeneration becomes a shared civic project. A partnership between the City of Boulder and the wider community, it mobilizes residents, nonprofits, businesses, scientists, and public agencies around nature-based climate action—restoring soils, expanding tree canopy, creating pollinator habitat, […]
Earthkind
Earthkind Earthkind addresses a deceptively important challenge of the Great Transition: how do we turn widespread concern for the living Earth into sustained everyday participation? Rather than asking people to absorb more alarming information, Earthkind makes ecological action approachable through a simple weekly rhythm of science-backed conservation actions, trusted petitions, and opportunities to participate locally […]
Sarafu Network
Sarafu Network Sarafu Network is helping prototype a radically different kind of economic infrastructure: one in which communities can create and exchange value based on their own productive capacities rather than depending entirely on scarce national currency and global financial systems. Developed by Grassroots Economics, Sarafu provides open-source infrastructure for community asset vouchers and enables […]
Ben Clark
Ben Clark Ben Clark is a regenerative systems practitioner working at the intersection of ecological restoration, community resilience, and the deeper cultural shifts required for the Great Transition. As a member of Earth Regeneration Alliance, his work reflects an emerging approach that sees regeneration not simply as repairing environmental damage, but as restoring the relationships […]
Global Mayors Academy
Global Mayors Academy The Global Mayors Academy is helping develop the leadership capacities needed for the Great Transition at one of its most important leverage points: cities. As climate disruption, inequality, migration, and technological change increasingly converge at the local level, cities are becoming laboratories for new approaches to governance and resilience. Rather than focusing […]
