Bioregional Regeneration for Planetary Health
Bioregional regeneration is about refitting human patterns to the bio-geo-physical patterns through which life creates conditions conducive to life.

The Cliff Edge: Generating Political Will for the Required Level of Change
To conclude, in most places globally there were the natives and now there are the newcomers. The current migrants into Europe are yet another such wave. No matter one’s ancestral origin, we must all learn to live a deeply natural way. It is the path to authentic hope.
Re-Regionalization: Bioregional Development as a Regenerative Pathway
To relocalise effectively we need to map the productive potential of our regions and communities, including resource, material, waste and energy flows and identify threads and opportunities for relocalising production and consumption.
Regenerative Hubs in Costa Rica
The world’s first bioregional-scale regenerative hubs were launched in July of this year. A gathering of experts from more than 20 organizations gathered at the eco-tourism retreat center of Rancho Margot in the high mountain rainforests of northern Costa Rica.
Catalonia, Spain: Building a Powerful Regional Network for Energy Sovereignty
Xarxa per la sobirania energètica (Xse) Catalonia brings like-minded groups together to fight for change in the energy sector locally, and collaborates with similar initiatives elsewhere in Spain, Europe and Latin America.
Weaving the Path to Planetary Health
It is essential that as many local/regional “hubs” as possible be set up for regeneration of ecosystem functions that address the most critical planetary boundaries… namely geochemical cycles of nitrogen/phosphorous, land-use practices, and climate change.
Organizing Bioregionally
The sustainability consultants Pooran Desai and Sue Riddlestone of the London based consultancy BioRegional suggest that we need to reconsider the scale of our production systems and create more locally self-sustaining communities in compact cities.
From Oil Age to Soil Age
To put it another way: modern citizens today use more energy and physical resources in a month than our great-grandparents used during their whole lifetime.
Biennials and System Change
Why do so many expos, festivals and biennials promise to change the world for the better – only to end up as trash?
Should We Move to Bioregionalism?
“It’s time to consider that bioregional self-sufficiency—the principle of meeting human needs within the constraints of resource areas—is really what leads to democracy and prosperity.”
From Watersheds to Mountains, What If We Based Our Borders on Nature?
Bioregionalism is one possible vision of a future that works for people and for the Earth.
Limits of Resilience
Resilience – ‘the capacity to bounce back’ … is a desirable condition. The trouble is that a lot of people perceive resilience…to be a new variety of risk management that gives them the opportunity to carry on with business-as-usual.
