The Regen Movement is a global community of people and projects working to restore ecosystems, heal social systems, and redesign economies so that human activity actively improves the conditions for life.

It’s essentially the “umbrella” of regenerative agriculture, finance, culture, technology, and community-building—united by the belief that we can move beyond sustainability (doing less harm) toward regeneration (creating more life).

Here’s where the Regen Movement sits in relation to adjacent movements:

🌍 The Regen Movement

Core identity: Goes beyond “sustaining” to actively regenerating the health of ecosystems, societies, and economies.

Focus: Living systems thinking, reciprocity with nature, community resilience, regenerative design.

Examples: regenerative agriculture, bioregional governance, regenerative finance, holistic health, regenerative storytelling.

♻️ Sustainability / Climate Movement

• Focus: Reducing harm, lowering carbon, preventing collapse.
• Frame: Often technical (emissions targets, renewable energy adoption).
• Relation to Regen: Sustainability = “less bad.” Regeneration = “net positive.”
• Regen builds on climate goals but adds cultural, ecological, and spiritual dimensions.

🌱 Permaculture & Ecovillage Movement

• Focus: Practical design for food, water, shelter, and community resilience.
• Frame: Rooted in land stewardship and indigenous wisdom.
• Relation to Regen: Permaculture is one of the toolkits within the Regen Movement, focused mostly on land and local communities. Regen expands these principles across finance, governance, tech, and culture.

💸 Impact Investing / ESG / Philanthropy

• Focus: Directing capital toward positive social and environmental outcomes.
