​ Urban Futures: Reimagining Finance for Regenerative Cities

​Join us for an inspiring fireside chat with Samantha Power, a leading voice in bioregional finance (BioFi), as we explore how rethinking financial systems can unlock urban regeneration and ecological resilience

​🌍 Discover how bioregional finance can redirect capital to support, rather than deplete, life.

💡 Learn from real-world projects applying BioFi principles - eco-credit systems, place-based finance, and nature-based currencies

🔄 Explore how decentralised financial models can empower local communities to drive regeneration.  

​As cities face increasing challenges - climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequity - BioFi offers a powerful alternative to centralised financial systems, enabling communities to restore ecosystems and build local resilience.  

​✨ Brought to you by Regen City, an ecosystem builder for nature-positive, regenerative cities. Our mission is to raise awareness of the critical role nature-based solutions play in building urban resilience, tackling climate change, supporting biodiversity, and enhancing human health. A spinout from RegenIntel. ✨

​About Samantha Power

​Samantha is the Founder and Director of the BioFi Project and the Founder and Principal Consultant of Finance for Gaia. She is a Regenerative Economist, Futurist, and Bioregionalist based in Oakland, CA on the ancestral land of the Ohlone people. Samantha has harnessed her experience working at the World Bank and in the financial sector — advising finance ministries, central banks, and investors — and is now telling a story about the need to build a new layer in the global financial architecture that decentralizes financial decision making and puts resources in the hands of people living in relationship to place. 

​Samantha and her co-author published a book entitled, 'Bioregional Financing Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet' in June 2024. The same day the BioFi Project launched — a collective of experts supporting bioregions around the world to design, build, and implement Bioregional Financing Facilities or 'BFFs.' The book makes the case for and explains how to shift capital to place-based regenerators in order to achieve global climate and nature-related goals.

​About The BioFi Project

​The BioFi Project is a collective supporting bioregions to design, build, and implement Bioregional Financing Facilities (BFFs) that connect financial resources with regenerators. They partner with bioregional organising teams and Indigenous communities across North America and around the world to apply the BFF templates and capital raising and allocation approaches laid out in the book Bioregional Financing Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet (published in June of 2024).
