The mission of this grant proposal, ReFi EBF, is to intertwine and enhance this work within the ecosystem of **Regenerative Finance (ReFi) and Web3 technology**. Together we aim to pioneer a future where finance and technology is a driving force for breathing life into ecosystems, enhancing biodiversity, promoting equity, and restoring balance to our world. We seek to fuel a transformative initiative, uniting diverse stakeholders under a common language and framework, and propelling us from an era of extraction to the age of regeneration. \n_________________________\n# Background\n\nFor the past 12 thousand years, we have perfected an economic system based on extraction.\n\n**Now, everything is converging \u2026**\n\n- Climate change.\n- Water scarcity.\n- Biodiversity loss.\n- Rampant inequity.\n- Lack of trust in carbon markets.\n- Fractured ESG reporting.\n\n... and **everything\u2019s at stake**.\n\n![AGE OF EXTRACTION2.jpeg](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sy4XSADQ6.jpg)\n\n**Where do we go from here?**\n\nIn the face of a complex web of existential crises, carbon and other impact markets have the potential to be a key part of the solution. Yet carbon markets themselves face a number of fundamental challenges currently hindering their impact and growth - opacity, misinformation, extraction, fragmentation and the resulting lack of trust - to name a few... Furthermore, it is abundantly clear that carbon remains\u00a0only one\u00a0part of the challenge. In **overcoming 'carbon tunnel vision'**, holistic approaches are desperately needed to tackle biodiversity loss, growing inequality, and a range of other social, environmental and economic challenges.\n\n![ReFi--Regeneration---Carbon-Tunnel-vision---Jan-Konietzko-graphic-adapted-2.jpg](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkLPFgtX6.jpg)\n\n\nAs a species, how should we value carbon alongside other social and ecological impacts? Can we express the value of our ecosystems holistically? Can we realign human activity with the health of people, planet, and the biosphere? Can we get out of doing less bad and focus on doing more good?\n\n### A New Paradigm\n\nIn September 2022, hundreds of stakeholders across carbon markets, ReFi, blockchain, Web3, conservation, regenerative agriculture, and corporate ESG reporting began an [activator](https://blog.refidao.com/ecological-benefits-activator/) led by [The Lexicon](https://thelexicon.org/) to develop a more equitable framework in response to climate change (and much more).\n\n![EBF11-lq.jpg](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rk368R_X6.jpg)\n> [Read more about the activator](https://blog.refidao.com/ecological-benefits-activator/)\n\nBased on the on the shared insight  that the health of our societies, economies, and all life on earth, depend on the health of our air, water, soil, biodiversity, equity, and atmospheric carbon, the process mobilzed experts across distinct value chains to activiate a new framework that can align carbon markets, financial decision making, ESG reporting and the expansive impact economy.\n\n![EBF7-lq](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJW2X0hXa.jpg)\n\nIntroducing **EBF**. The **Ecological Benefits Framework** - a framework for a regenerative paradigm - and it starts with six words:\n- Air.\n- Water.\n- Soil.\n- Biodiversity.\n- Equity.\n- (And carbon.)\n\n\n![EBF3-lq.jpeg](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ryoL_RP7p.jpg)\n\nStarting from here, EBF can provide a foundational new architecture to radically transform global carbon and ecological benefits markets both by increasing transparency, trust, quality, and equity, and by accelerating the coordinated delivery of positive financial and environmental impacts. By developing a shared framework, EBF can create alignment across public and private sectors to support the rapid deployment of strategic capital for activities that create measurable, holistic and life-affirming ecological impacts.\n\nBluetooth is an enabling technology.
