The environmental challenges we face today stem from a fundamental oversight in our legal systems: the absence of laws protecting our planet’s vital ecosystems. At Envisionation, we’re working closely with Stop Ecocide International to address this critical gap and transform how we value and protect our natural world.
Our work focuses on a shared vision: establishing ecocide as an international crime. This legal recognition would mark a pivotal shift in how we address environmental destruction and climate change, creating accountability for severe damage to our planet’s ecosystems.
The Root of the Challenge
Through our research and development of the Biosphere Restoration Plan (BRP), we’ve identified that our current global accounting structures carry massive unfunded environmental liabilities. These hidden costs represent the true price of environmental degradation—a burden that future generations will inherit unless we act now.
The solution lies in what we call ‘Empathy Economics’, a revolutionary approach that combines legal protection with financial innovation. This framework isn’t just about penalising harmful practices; it’s about creating a system where sustainable solutions naturally outperform environmentally damaging ones.
Building a Foundation for Change
Our collaboration with Stop Ecocide International strengthens the movement to recognise ecocide as a serious crime under international law. This legal framework would provide the backbone for meaningful environmental protection, supporting our broader vision of biosphere restoration.
The scale of our ambition matches the magnitude of the challenge: we aim to restore approximately 50% of the life lost from our planet over the past 10,000 years. This isn’t just about preservation—it’s about active regeneration of our natural systems.
Technology Meets Environmental Protection
To support this transformation, we’re developing cutting-edge solutions with the International Centre for Earth Simulation Foundation. Together, we’re creating a supercomputing-based digital twin Earth, providing the precise measurements and auditing capabilities necessary for effective environmental protection laws.
This technology will allow us to track and verify environmental changes with unprecedented accuracy, ensuring that ecocide laws can be enforced effectively and fairly.
The Economic Opportunity
The business case for environmental protection is compelling. Our current global economy, where only 2.8 billion people enjoy a high standard of living, is neither sustainable nor equitable. The transition to a world where 9 billion people can thrive by 2050 represents an unprecedented opportunity for economic growth—but only if we maintain the health of our biosphere.
To make this vision accessible to everyone, we’re introducing the Empathy Coin, a digital asset that represents a stake in the BRP’s development. These coins will be directly linked to biosphere health, measured through living biomass restoration. It’s a tangible way for individuals and organisations to invest in our planet’s future.
Practical Steps Forward
The partnership between Envisionation and Stop Ecocide International demonstrates how legal innovation, technological advancement, and economic incentives can work together to protect our environment. By establishing ecocide as an international crime, we create the foundation for:
– Robust environmental protection frameworks
– Accurate measurement of ecosystem health
– Financial systems that reward restoration
– Clear accountability for environmental damage
The Path Ahead
Our work represents more than just environmental protection—it’s about creating a new paradigm where legal, economic, and technological systems align to support life on Earth. By combining Stop Ecocide International’s legal expertise with Envisionation’s innovative approaches to biosphere restoration, we’re building a framework for lasting change.
The recognition of ecocide as a serious crime isn’t just another environmental regulation—it’s a fundamental shift in how we value and protect our natural world. By supporting Stop Ecocide, we’re working to ensure that environmental protection becomes a cornerstone of international law and economic activity.
Join the Movement
The transition to a more sustainable and equitable world requires collective action. Whether through supporting the campaign to recognise ecocide as an international crime, participating in the Empathy Economics framework, or engaging with our digital twin Earth project, there are numerous ways to contribute to this vital mission.
Together, we can create a world where environmental protection is enshrined in law, supported by technology, and rewarded by our economic systems. The future of our planet depends on the actions we take today.
