At the heart of our efforts, we envision a future where the Earth is universally recognized and managed as the collective treasure it truly is—the ultimate commons. Our aim with each Earth Commons event, is to build bridges between climate entrepreneurs, academics, technologists, funders, NGOs, and international public institutions to explore the funding and governance of nature’s commons. Our vision is to facilitate incentive alignment, cooperation, and accountability to steward the Earth’s precious resources in perpetuity, such as forests, fisheries, oceans, biodiversity, freshwater reservoirs, and other ecosystem services. Themes explored will include: - Leveraging emerging technologies and open science to respond to dynamically evolving challenges across complex economic and ecological systems - How we can better support open innovation ecosystems to address critical aspects of planetary thriving - Platforming efforts to mitigate our environmental footprint, including that of emerging technologies like AI and blockchain - Pioneering experiments in new mechanisms for co-designing solutions with nature - How to preserve the humanity and powers of storytelling to inspire global climate action and adoption of new principles - Solidifying feedback loops to drive future innovation and optimize impact evaluation Stay tuned, as we'll be announcing speakers and the schedule as soon as we have more information to share!

About us

Earth Commons was incubated as Sustainable Blockchain Summit from within the Filecoin Green Team at Protocol Labs as a conference series sitting at the nexus of Web3 and Climate. Today, the Funding the Commons Team has inherited the conference series and is building out an ecosystem focused on underscoring the systemic, interdependent changes necessary for progress in governing the largest commons that our collective existence relies upon, the “pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
Mission
By harnessing the power of emerging technologies like AI, Blockchain, and IoT, we aim to facilitate incentive alignment, cooperation, and accountability to steward the Earth’s precious resources in perpetuity. Our mission: to transform the funding and governance of nature’s commons, such as forests, fisheries, oceans, biodiversity, freshwater reservoirs, and other ecosystem services, by uniting the forces of Web2, Web3, research, philanthropy, and industry.
Vision
We envision a world where technology and ecology converge to ensure the just governance of planetary resources. By aligning incentives, global talent and emerging technologies, we strive to create new mechanisms for stewardship of the Earth Commons.
