The article "Building Our Power: Advancing Climate Justice through Regenerative Finance" by Jessica Xiao and Lauren Ressler, published in Nonprofit Quarterly, explores the critical link between climate justice and regenerative finance. The authors argue that traditional financial systems have perpetuated environmental and social inequities, advocating for a shift toward regenerative finance—a model prioritizing sustainability, community wealth-building, and long-term ecological health. Regenerative finance aims to empower marginalized communities by redirecting capital to projects that restore ecosystems and promote social equity. The article effectively highlights the need for financial systems to evolve to tackle both the climate crisis and social injustices. By focusing on community needs and environmental regeneration, regenerative finance offers a path to a more equitable and sustainable future. Collective action and community empowerment are emphasized as key drivers of this financial transformation. For those interested in climate justice, sustainable finance, and the role of nonprofits in systemic change, this article provides valuable insights into how regenerative finance can contribute to a more just and resilient world. It’s a compelling call for rethinking financial structures to support a healthier planet and more equitable society. You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eU56NmrR
