Living Lab for a Living Planet
The Living Planet Working Group (LPWG) exists to channel and grow momentum toward a healthy planet where all of Life flourishes. Through business, community, education and collaboration, the LPWG is an evolving forum for global changemakers to join forces and respond strategically to local and global imperatives - stewarding innovative thinking for the regeneration of healthy living systems - for generations to come.
Catch Living Planet Working Group at Climate Week NYC!
🌿 Sept 26th, 2025 Investors Circle and Living Planet Working Group are co-hosting an Open Canopy Event at Doris Duke Foundation's Treehouse on the final day of Climate Week NYC to explore the nexus between Nature and Private Business, and where we go from here - Registration Closed
Our shared vision is to shift humanity's collective story from one that is extractive and self-serving to one that is values-led and stewarding of planet Earth.
Together, we are planting roots for a regenerative world reflected in ourselves, our families, our organizations, society, and the biosphere as a whole.

🌱 A Community of Practice
We are bound by a love of Life. We work to integrate principles of living systems into business, culture, and everyday life. We believe in systems change from the inside out. The LPWG is guided by a trio of stewards and nurtured by a community of leaders working across sectors and scales to insist on a healthy future.
