They are however excluded from the billions of dollars of Climate Financing due to a lack of proof of regeneration and inadequate KYC/AML.\n\n\nUsing existing open ledger technologies and participatory verification; our project will develop a framework to explore the integration of these economies into the global financial system in order to sustain viable livelihoods of land stewards. \n\nIn so doing, we make their value legible to open up new pathways for funding and support, and to forward planetary regeneration.\n\n🌱\n\nRegen Foundation will steward a research study into the existing governance systems of regenerative savings groups called Chamas. \n\nThis research is a pilot study to establish a baseline framework on how Chamas can integrate ecological monitoring technologies with ecosystem service markets for the development of viable local regenerative economies. \n\n🌱\n\nWith the amount raised in #GR15, we have worked on\n1. Identifying Chamas in regeneration\n2. Initial stakeholder meetings \n3. Advisor and expert search \n4. Feasibility studies\n5. ReFi Literacy gap identification \n\n🌱\n\nThe proceeds from Alpha Round will be used for\n1. ReFi bootcamp for land stewards \n2. Web3 Encyclopaedia development\n3. Feasibility study into DAO tooling for Chamas \n4. Video content generation on the powerful work these groups are doing \n\n🌱\n\nWe invite you to support our work by contributing to our grant.\n\nMore information on Chama DAO is available at https://bit.ly/3XGZ0Cn\n\nContact details : contact@regen.foundation\n\n\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "RegenFdn"}
