Biomimicry for Capital Markets

Sixty Minutes with Hazel Henderson and Mathis Wackernagel from Security & Sustainability Forum on Vimeo.

Based on Hazel Henderson's and Jeanine Benyus’ community of practice invention of “ethical biomimicry finance” in 2013, we began discussing biomimicry for financial and economic development paradigms in 2014 at a series of panels at the Social Capital Markets Conference in San Francisco.

Now it’s time for us to build this into a more robust frame & model for the new model portfolio theory and new capital markets. In the same way that IMF/IFC etc have a multistage & multi year design process for emerging markets to develop liquid and effective capital markets - we now have the context capacity cooperative community and connectivity to build the new tool for humanity now in coherence with earth systems... essentially this is what Hazel Henderson has inspired me to see and commit to. Yesterday she did an excellent overview of her nearly 50 years of work with Mathis of the Global Footprint Network in their one hour video - very much worth the time.

This is our theory of change. It is the mission of those who hear this call to to evolve, build and implement a more effective means with and for the community of practice of impact investing and economic development to create better tools and systems for the implementation of 21st century capacities for capital markets now!
