Overview
The UNFCCC’s Article 6 calls for the worldwide development of diverse, innovative educational initiatives that resource individuals and organizations to take more effective action on the global climate crisis. In accordance with this clear collective priority at this moment in planetary history, IoR stewards and participates in numerous communities of praxis on specific topics of concern for global regeneration. These communities work to synthesize theory and practice in their respective fields in a context of ongoing personal, organizational, and network development.
Regenerative Climate Action
Since its founding, the Institute of Regeneration has been focused on organizing and resourcing innovative industry and community responses to the global climate crisis.
Through internationally attended courses and trainings on climate solutions, community engagements around climate adaptation, and partnerships with other industry organizations and educational institutions, IoR continues to develop its community’s capacities to take highly effective, deliberately designed climate action.

Regenerative Food & Agriculture
Food and agriculture drive 30% of global GHG emissions and are responsible for 90% of global land-use change, 70% of global water use, and 87% of worldwide biodiversity loss.
At the same time, food and agriculture have the potential to be net-positive nature-based solutions, with extensive evidence from decades of scientific research in agroecology, agroforestry, managed grazing, and wildlife ecology.
Feasible pathways to transform food and agriculture exist. With the UAE Declaration on Sustainable Food Systems and the Global Biodiversity Framework, and the clear central identification of food systems in the Global Stocktake, strong international agreement has been reached around the importance of this transformation.
Businesses, governments, civil society, and farmers themselves are actively working to regenerate agriculture. But little has changed thus far on a global scale. What’s missing? In our team’s experience as farmers, researchers, and industry participants, changing how we think about food and agriculture may be an even more important ultimate driver of outcomes than a primary focus on changing agricultural or supply chain practices.
Institute of Regeneration staff and participants are at the core of ongoing efforts by global multi-stakeholder coalitions (including the Sustainable Markets Initiative, One Planet Business for Biodiversity, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development) to harmonize and accelerate the transition to regenerative food and agricultural systems.

Regenerative Parenting
Children are the foundation of the future. The family, in whatever shape it takes, is the immediate nest in which children grow, evolve, express themselves, and learn to engage in a wider community and eventually in the whole world.
The way that children and young people experience their family influences their entire life. In a time of global environmental uncertainty, violent military conflict, and fractiously polarized societies, how are we helping the children in our lives and communities navigate with calm clarity, deep integrity, and purposeful agency?
The Regenerative Parenting & Familying Community is designed to fill gaps in our current capabilities, understandings, and systems of support for parents and caretakers of children.
It is made up of parents and families around the world, who work creatively together to improve their children’s lives (and their own!). The Community offers a repeating and dedicated space for personal regeneration while taking on the significant work of supporting children and young people to grow.

Regenerative Real Estate
Most real estate investing and development seeks to maximize financial return on assets invested. Some individuals, investors, and organizations go beyond this, and seek to achieve positive social impact through real estate development. Very few actors in this industry, however, take a holistically developmental perspective – one that aims to evolve the capacities of people, the built environment, and the local ecology and economy in which each piece of real estate sits, to express their unique potential and generate multi-capital value for their place and community.
The Regenerative Real Estate Community of Praxis offers frameworks, guidance, peer-to-peer learning, and creative inspiration for real estate agents, brokers, developers, investors who want to grow themselves and the holistic value of their portfolios and services.

Book Clubs
A core practice of IoR’s learning community is to study and engage with the theoretical sources of our work, and to test these intellectual underpinnings through participants’ lived experiences. IoR’s book clubs provide an accessible venue for ongoing study and application within our global community.
