There is a science-based, hopeful alternative: a regenerative model that works like a living system, helping leaders, communities, and citizens navigate climate chaos, inequality, and ecological breakdown with clarity and purpose. Instead of reacting to crisis after crisis, a regenerative economy creates the conditions for systems to thrive, adapt, and evolve. Eugene\u202fKirpichov left a rewarding and fulfilling career as a machine learning engineer at Google because he could no longer justify working on anything other than climate change. He founded the community Work on Climate with a mission to mobilize humanity\u2019s talent to build a regenerative green economy. Work on Climate quickly built the world\u2019s largest and most successful community of its sort \u2013 with tens of thousands of members around the globe, thousands of whom have found purposeful work that heals the planet, getting hundreds of millions of people to contribute their talent to fixing climate change. Join Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral, for a conversation with Kirpichov about how regenerative economics can bring our economic systems back into tune with the living systems they depend on.
