r3.0 is pleased to announce its 8th international conference, convening from the 7th to the 8th of September 2021 online, to the Covid-19 global restrictions. For the second time, r3.0 has strategically placed its conference right after the summer break (in the Northern Hemisphere), to help set a sufficiently ambitious tone for the fall/winter conference season – particularly UN Climate Week, the UN General Assembly and many other conferences following in the months of October to December.

r3.0 held its 7th International Conference from 8th to 11th September 2020, this time completely online! As 2020 is often called a ‘make-or-break’ year – a half-decade after the 2015 Paris Accord and the start of the SDGs – the r3.0 International Virtual Conference offered a framework for redesigning our economy around the principles of regeneration and distribution. This framework is based on the r3.0 working ecosystem: the family of 9 interrelated blueprints, 7 of which have already been developed and 2 are still being created; 6 prior r3.0 conferences; the networks of our Academic Alliance and Advocation Partners; our Research and Test Lab collaborations, and our Global Thresholds & Allocations Council initiation. We felt uniquely positioned to gather world-class “game-changing and mind-blowing” speakers in a highly interactive “sleeves-rolled-up” working conference setting. This initiated a structure around 8 core themes: science, behaviour, finance, growth, value, circularity, education and governance.
