Advancing Regenerative Development Goals (RDGs)

Establishing a Global Working Group for a Regenerative Future

Creating a thriving planet where human and natural systems flourish in harmony, fostering abundance, equity, and resilience for all life.

Regenerative Development Goals (RDGs) are a globally collaborative framework designed to actively restore and revitalize natural, social, and economic systems.

Building a Thriving World for People and Planet

Reimagining Our Future: A Vision for Regeneration

We envision a world where people and nature thrive together in harmony, creating abundance, equity, and resilience for all life. Guided by this promise, our mission is to catalyze global collaboration in developing and implementing the Regenerative Development Goals (RDGs)—a framework that goes beyond sustainability to actively restore and revitalize natural, social, and economic systems. By uniting diverse voices and expertise, we aim to co-create a just and flourishing future for present and future generations.

Our Scope of Work

Defining the Path to a Regenerative Future: Our Scope of Work

Our scope of work focuses on convening global experts, developing a robust RDG framework, and creating pathways for real-world implementation. Through inclusive collaboration, knowledge sharing, and policy integration, we aim to establish a regenerative model that transforms systems, industries, and communities worldwide.

  1. Convene a diverse group of global thought leaders and practitioners in regenerative systems, sustainability, and climate action.

  2. Develop the RDGs framework comprising:

    • Part 1: Regenerative Mindsets (concepts, principles, Indigenous worldviews).

    • Part 2: Goals & Targets (visioning pathways, quantifiable and actionable metrics).

    • Part 3: Solutions (technologies, practices, and behaviors that drive regenerative outcomes).

    • Part 4: Implementers (profiling organizations, funds, and leaders pioneering regenerative solutions).

  3. Facilitate knowledge sharing through collaborative platforms, workshops, and publications.

  4. Define pathways for integrating RDGs into global and local policies, industry practices, and community initiatives.

Crafting a Rigorous and Collaborative Pathway: Our Process

The development of the RDG framework will be a collaborative and rigorous approach, ensuring scientific and practical credibility. Each part of the RDG framework will consist of multiple chapters, with each chapter authored by a diverse team of experts, practitioners, and thought leaders.

Chapter Contributions

Each chapter will be co-created by 3-5 authors representing varied disciplines, geographies, and lived experiences, ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive perspective.

Peer Review and Feedback

Drafts will undergo multiple rounds of review by the broader Working Group and external advisors to refine ideas and ensure accuracy.

Workshops and Iterative Refinement

Regular workshops will provide opportunities for authors to collaborate, share insights, and address emerging challenges.

Integration and Coherence

Dedicated synthesis teams will weave the chapters into cohesive parts, aligning with the overarching vision and values of the RDGs.

Join the Movement: Co-Creating a Regenerative Future for All

We invite global stakeholders to join the RDG Working Group to pioneer a regenerative future that benefits all life and restores planetary health.
