Exciting conversations are unfolding within our community this Spring! 🌱 In 2024, Regen Foundation is collaborating with grassroots organizations to test DAO tooling for community ownership and governance. These organizations span a wide range of mutualist regeneration efforts seeking to leverage simple tooling for governance and impact verification at the local level. Our pilot programs have two main objectives: 👨💻 Inform the development of the technology, interfaces and user experience to better support grassroots regeneration efforts. 🌴 Allow communities to more quickly prototype and govern methodologies for impact verification as a sandbox for eco Credit design. We recently had a deep dive discussion with our community members about these pilots and their potential. If this conversation resonates with you, let's talk! https://lnkd.in/ds2viZjw #RegenerativeEconomics #CommunityGovernance #Sustainability Austin Wade Smith Nena Jain Sanne van den Dungen Sumamani Vedula Howard Sharfstein Tamara Law Goswami Berk Sohtorik

Ecological Institutions -> Protocols to Grow Autonomous and Convivial Ecological Actors We are excited to share this new research project with you all today. This essay is written by Austin Wade Smith in collaboration with Earth Law Center and Regen Network Development PBC 🌸 https://lnkd.in/dUd9C2QQ It is a framework for expanding non-human agency at the intersection of earth law and decentralized protocols. Here is a quick intro to infrastructural animism 👇 🗻 What we call agency is less a reflection of an organism’s innate capacities or attributes, but rather their ability to be legible to the contexts within which they operate. Those contexts can be biological, technical, infrastructural etc. All part of the ecology of self. ⚖ Ecological institutions explore how the principle of niche construction by non-humans is applicable to legal, economic, informatic, and political systems pursuant to support a greater diversity of life. Legibility and Constitution is a two way street. 🦋 The institutional forms of the future must reflect a more whole world, populated by more subjects than human beings, leading to the emergence of novel eco-social assemblages which redefine concepts like rights, ownership, identity, privacy, and politics beyond the human realm. 🌳 By adhering to the established forms different systems can “see”, ecological institutions make the more than human world impossible to ignore. The formalism compounds; legibility in the legal system creates potential for impact in economic and political systems etc. 🌉 This kind of infrastructural animism , works to maximize the "surface area" through which non-humans directly exert influence on human-made systems. Some might look more like autonomous ecological agents and others like convivial interspecies assemblies.

🌍I recently gave a talk at #ethdenver called "Regeneration as a Protocol : The Shape of DAOs to Come". It's now live! 🌍 In the talk I explore the intersection of 🐞 Rights of Nature, 🔑 Decentralized Protocols, and ♻ Emerging Earth Commons through grassroots pilots at Regen Foundation. I know I'm biased but I think its pretty cool. https://lnkd.in/ddfmyEv9

In partnership with the Sharamentsa community, Fundación Pachamama, and Stokenes Futures, we are proud to present... 🌎 Biocultural Jaguar Credits 🦋 This is a critical new entrant into the biodiversity crediting space but also a commitment to a way of working that centers land stewards and indigenous people in a participatory and dynamic process that supports their agency as the ancestral stewards of a place. These credits are a way to support their life goals and the culture they wish to leave with their descendants.

Ecocentric Law, Economics, and Technology Mixer During NYC Climate Week 🌍 Hello LinkedIn Community, As we embrace the change of the seasons, we wanted to share an exciting update from the Regen Foundation. In partnership with the Earth Law Center, we've been crafting a litepaper that delves into the innovative amalgamation of ecocentric law, regenerative economics, and blockchain to champion non-human life in our journey towards climate justice. Keep an eye out for our first draft unveiling this Fall! 🍂 In the meantime, we're excited to be in the same city this September for NYC Climate Week, and we saw this as an opportunity to host an informal mixer to discuss this intersection over drinks and snacks which will be available for purchase. 🍻 📅 Date: Thursday, 21st September 2023 ⏰ Time: 7pm 📍 Event Info & RSVP: https://lu.ma/2myau1ma Please note: this is an informal mixer, and there will not be any presentations.
