OverviewFramework to design a real, sustainable, and non-harmful approach to our global economy Seeing economics for the design discipline it truly is, Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future, leverages the decades of experience of Tom Chi as a physicist and designer to offer a realistic, grounded perspective on the fact that our current economic systems simply don’t work with our world’s physical reality in the long-term. The comprehensive, holistic approach in this book cuts through the noise of so many conversations happening at the intersection of climate change, economics, sustainability, and our global future, providing insights on: Possibilities for our collective future using science and hard evidence, avoiding the extremes of unbridled optimism or complete doom and gloom The 4Cs—Critical Thinking, Creativity, Compassion, and Community—as a framework to design a sustainable, non-harmful approach to our global economy Using nature, the best-designed system out there, instead of economic pseudoscience, as a guide to move beyond fear for our future to a place of empowerment for individuals and communities alike Part toolkit, part history, and part demonstration, Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future provides tangible strategies for venture capitalists, sophisticated individual investors, pragmatic policy wonks, and ardent environmental activists to create a sustainable economic future that no longer destroys the planet.
