The Benefits of a Regenerative Approach

Realizing the Green Jobs Promise: The Benefits of a Regenerative Approach

We must reframe the notion of green jobs within this broader context of economic risk, opportunity, and transformation.

This report looks beyond analytical findings of “more jobs” to begin charting the deeper work, analyses, and stories needed to inspire a leap from a job scarcity mentality toward one of purpose-inspired economic abundance. We propose calling this shift the Great Regeneration.
