This week's Earth State focus on ReFi is about Resilience Finance to prepare for, respond to, and recovery from the natural and man-made disasters that are a growing threat to human and ecological security.
The Amazon continues to be decimated by wildfires. These natural and man-made disasters can only be stopped by changing incentives and supporting networks of local agro-forestry projects. Ekonavi is showing how ReFi can do this.

The climate crisis is a governance and coordination crisis. Could Decentralised Impact Organisations (DIOs) built on DAOs and ReFi for climate verification, staked commitments & collective action, be a solution?
Adam Bornstein gives his first-hand account of how the Danish Red Cross is innovating ReFi for financing humanitarian disaster Response and Recovery, with Cat Bonds and Community Currencies.
VitaDAO is using DAO tokens to raise and govern the allocation of capital, together with NFTs that represent IP rights, as a novel Regenerative Finance (ReFi) mechanism to advance Decentralised Science (DeSci), for the good of humanity.
An easy pill to swallow – get inspired by this half-hour Earth State Space free-flowing conversation with Gitcoin founder and Green Pilled author Kevin Owocki.
Week ending March 18th. Rising energy prices and increasing inflation rates are major themes this week, as we transition towards a tokenised earth economy for social, economic, and environmental resilience and regeneration.
Ethereum has been a major force in moving the world towards a decentralised Web3 future. It enabled the emergence of DeFi as a precursor to ReFi. In the upcoming Merge Ethereum will become a PoS chain, more scalable, and with radically improved economics. This should be good for Earth!
This week we learn about powerful new ways of engineering regenerative finance systems at the intersection of programmable money, game theory, and mechanism design, as we deepen our intelligence on Refi & the Tokenised Earth Economy.
