Regeneration is the radically new approach to the climate crisis, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation.

Our goal is to end the climate crisis in one generation. Ending the crisis does not complete the challenge of global warming. That is a century-long commitment. Ending the crisis means that by 2030, a critical mass of humanity will come to realize the breadth and depth of the crisis and the possibilities it offers for human and ecological transformation.

Our approach to reversing climate change differs from other proposals. It is based on the idea of regeneration. We do not oppose other strategies and plans. To the contrary, we praise and are grateful for all approaches. Our concern is simple: most people in the world remain disengaged, and we need a way forward that engages the majority of humanity. Regeneration is an inclusive and effective strategy compared to combating, fighting, or mitigating climate change. Regeneration creates, builds, and heals. Regeneration is what life has always done, we are life, and that is our focus. It includes how we live and what we do—everywhere. We have a common interest and that interest can only be served when we come together.

 Find Solutions and Challenges Nexus here

We are a team endeavoring to create a comprehensive list of Solutions and Challenges connected to addressing the climate emergency and regenerating planetary ecosystems. These are more than just descriptions. Each Nexus entry explores what can be done on all levels of agency, including individual, community, classroom, city, company, and government. For each topic, we curate organizations that are actively engaged, describe actions that can be taken, link to educational opportunities, and provide examples of transformation. We work collectively and collaboratively and are here to share our research and discoveries with you. We continue to add entries and encourage your suggestions and insights. In 2024, we will make the Nexus database available to nonprofit organizations under a Creative Commons license. This will allow groups to translate Nexus into diverse languages and make it applicable and relevant within different regions and cultures around the world.

There are six basic frameworks for action to solve the climate crisis. Equity, Reduce, Protect, Sequester, Influence and Support. They overlap in many ways; however, each category holds multiple levels of discovery, innovation, and breakthrough.

Delivering justice in sustainability transitions

Delivering justice in sustainability transitions

A European Environment Agency (EEA) Briefing - published 28 Feb 2024

The EU is committed to a just and inclusive future of living well within planetary boundaries. To reach this sustainable future, society must go through processes of transition that improve the quality of life of current and future generations. Sustainability transitions must lead to wellbeing for both people and other species, while respecting ecological boundaries and addressing existing injustices linked to environmental degradation and climate change. At the same time, there is a need to make sure that the policies enacted to achieve sustainability do not create new inequalities or exacerbate existing ones. This briefing puts forward a conceptual framework to support the development of just and equitable sustainability transition policies.

Key messages

 The EU’s policy framework, which provides a direction for achieving more, just and equitable sustainability transitions, will affect regions, societal systems and groups differently, and in some cases negatively.

Policies to support a just sustainability transition must consider several dimensions of justice, including: distributional justice (allocation of costs and benefits); procedural justice (who participates in decision-making); and recognitional justice (respect for, engagement with and fair consideration of diverse cultures and perspectives).

In the context of climate and environmental action, we must also consider restorative justice, which is a specific type of justice focusing on past and present harm to people, species and ecosystems.

Tools and Resources for Nature Based Tourism

Tools and Resources for Nature Based Tourism

World Bank Documents - 1st Edition 2020 and 2nd Edition 2022

Nature-based tourism (NBT) plays an important role in sustainable development. It can support poverty alleviation, economic growth, and biodiversity conservation and contribute to key global agreements and frameworks, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. NBT’s singular potential to create jobs and growth, while protecting wildlife and ecosystems, makes it an enticing prospect for developing countries seeking to align those interests. The Nature-Based Tourism (NBT) Community of Practice (CoP) was launched in December 2017 as an internal World Bank Group (WBG) community, whose focus is to help develop the NBT agenda within the Environment, Natural Resources and Blue Economy (ENB) Global Practice. The NBT CoP has facilitated collaboration and learning through a mix of knowledge products and services. The NBT CoP commissioned a comprehensive review of the tools and knowledge resources that could be used by practitioners in the field of NBT, to prepare and implement projects that promote sustainable NBT practices and policies.

The second edition in 2022 aims to collect and share the many resources that have emerged to support nature-based tourism destinations and stakeholders to recover and reset in the face of the pandemic, including a new chapter on COVID-19 resources.
