The Curagaia funding and operating model


In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.
Metaphorically speaking, a butterfly flapping its wings can eventually cause a tornado on the other side of the world.
Each document describes one half of a “butterfly” for global sustainability.
The Bridge - This document describes a financial opportunity reminiscent of the "Big Short". Total success disrupts a US$41 trillion market, and eliminates 11.5% of 2023 global emissions. It is the funding model for Curagaia.
More importantly, this opportunity has the potential to provide the catalyst for a global shift in consciousness that humanity and the planet desperately need. It aims to be the bridge between now and a truly viable future.
The Blueprint - This document describes the structure of an innovations lab solving complex environmental problems. It has seven impact themes and a critical litmus test that eliminates greenwashing and mission drift.
