Making California a regenerative economy
Regenerative California is advancing a regenerative economy.
One that restores ecosystems, uplifts communities, and builds lasting resilience for people and planet.

Regenerative
Principles
-
Living systems embrace complexity, resisting the temptation to over-simplify solutions
-
The diversity of each region, community, individual and ecosystem enable its health
-
The interdependent parts of a system shape the system and are shaped by it
-
Planetary boundaries are non-negotiable and healthy ecosystems are the habitat for all economies
-
Living systems evolve and change, in planned and unexpected ways
The power of partnerships

work to transcend silos
are invested in the region
commit to a multi-year strategy
see partnership as the way forward
