The moment demands it
Despite the many strengths of our beautiful city, we are facing a web of social and environmental challenges including climate impacts, housing access, inequality, food security, insecure work, loneliness and declining trust. We can all remember the smoke that covered Melbourne during the Black Summer in early 2020, and the unequal way different parts of this city suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Systemic problems need systemic solutions. This requires coherent action by alliances of unusual actors, from business, non-profit, government, universities and the general public.
The trouble is that our current system is not built for this type of epic collaboration. We urgently need to break out of our siloes and increase our collective ambition. We need new structures that reactivate and reorganise our system. Regen Melbourne is our collective answer to this challenge.
Together, we can work across sectors and siloes, raise our ambition and chart a tangible path towards a regenerative future for Melbourne.
Our 2024 Annual report
At the end of a big year, we are proud to publish our first Annual Report. In these pages you will find a bit about our emerging organisation, and you will find examples of our work across our three Earthshot projects and our many action-research initiatives within our Systems Lab.
This year we have been proud to be part of so many examples of new ways of organising towards a safe and just future for our place. Despite the ever-changing context, our team and our partners continue to return to the question we began with in 2020: how can we better serve our city?
At times our work can feel hard to grasp. It can be easier to think about the daily symptoms of our current system than to attempt to shift the messy route causes. And yet, this remains our focus.
Thank you for your continued involvement in and support of our work. We are always stronger together.
WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER
Regen Melbourne exists to drive ambitious, systemic and collaborative projects that chart a course to a regenerative Melbourne.
We (re)organise the actors, resources and relationships that enable this future to become a reality. We know that single actors don’t solve systems problems. Our only way to a thriving future is together, which includes our businesses, social enterprises, community organisations, capital holders, government, universities and citizens across the city.
