The Regenerative Economy Lab aims to educate and empower more people to play a role in transforming our economies to achieve good lives for all within planetary boundaries.
Our current economic system, which prioritises profits and growth over people and planet, is driving us towards collapse.
Many new approaches exist—from Wellbeing Economics to Doughnuts and Degrowth—yet most academic courses and business schools are stuck teaching out-dated models, and there is a gap between theory and practice.
That’s where we come in. We combine leading research and real-world examples with transformative education techniques to create spaces where people can come together to learn, connect, and identify ways they can take action—individually, and collectively.
