Welcome to Envisionation
We have a positive message for you.As climatic instability, environmental degradation, and conflicts create deep anxiety for the future within us all. Our multidisciplinary international team have designed a framework within which humanity and all life on earth will be able to thrive.
Based on a deep understanding of the workings of the whole Earth system, analysis of the underlying causes and taking the delivery of the UN sustainable goals as the terms of reference.
We present a pathway to a prosperous and inclusive future and we invite you to play a part in its delivery.
The Biosphere Restoration Plan (BRP)
Humanity has the knowledge, technology, and financial resources to resolve the climate crisis. The solution is a for-profit global effort to restore Earth’s ecosystems on land and sea. A mission with immense economic potential driving productivity and enabling a world where 9 billion people can thrive and resulting in unprecedented growth in global GDP.
The Whole Earth System
The living biosphere is our ultimate asset but it has been degraded by civilisation’s development.
Environmental Restoration
Bringing back the life on land and in the rivers and oceans.
Empathy Economics
A societal structure under which humanity and all life can thrive.
Empathy Coins
Will enable inclusive participation in the restoration of our ultimate asset.
The Future
9 billion people living well in harmony with nature by 2050.
The Solutions
Biomass regeneration, clean energy, recycling, capture and cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Biosphere Restoration Plan (BRP) and what problem does it aim to solve?
The Biosphere Restoration Plan (BRP) is a comprehensive, whole-Earth system approach developed by Envisionation to address the escalating climate crisis and environmental degradation.
It recognises that despite decades of warnings and international efforts, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, extreme weather events are increasing, and global living biomass has been reduced by over 50% due to human activity. The BRP identifies the root cause as the lack of adequate legal frameworks protecting the environment, leading to global accounting systems that fail to account for the true cost of environmental damage.
The BRP aims to transition to a legal and financial framework where environmental restoration becomes economically advantageous, ultimately enabling a prosperous and viable future for humanity and all life on Earth.
How does the BRP propose to restore the biosphere and achieve its goals?
The BRP proposes large-scale environmental restoration projects on land and in the oceans to regenerate the lost 50% of Earth’s living biomass. This restoration is intended to draw down sufficient greenhouse gases to return atmospheric CO2 levels to pre-industrial levels (around 300 ppm), thereby restoring climatic stability and increasing primary productivity.
The BRP also supports the international adoption of ecocide as a crime and the development of whole Earth system accounting structures that recognise the true cost and value of environmental actions.
By making it profitable to protect and restore the environment and costly to damage it, the BRP aims to facilitate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and support a global population of 9 billion people living well.
What are Empathy Coins and how do they relate to the Biosphere Restoration Plan?
Empathy Coins are digital assets being launched by Envisionation to finance and promote the Biosphere Restoration Plan. They represent a share in the BRP’s development and will be linked to the health of the biosphere, specifically measured through the restoration of living biomass.
The underlying principle is that a healthy biosphere is humanity’s most critical asset. Empathy Coins are intended to make participation in biosphere restoration accessible to everyone, creating a for-profit venture to attract the necessary large-scale investment.
Ultimately, Empathy Coins could evolve into a currency supporting contracting between those restoring and preserving biological environments and those using Earth’s resources.
What is the business model behind Empathy Economics and why is biosphere restoration considered a for-profit venture?
Empathy Economics is the economic framework underpinning the BRP. It is based on the idea that transitioning from a world where a fraction of the population lives well to one where 9 billion people can thrive by 2050 implies significant global economic growth.
Biosphere restoration is considered a for-profit venture because it is believed that this is essential to attract the large-scale investment required to achieve meaningful change.
By creating a financial incentive for environmental restoration, the BRP aims to ensure that it is properly and profitably compensated. This model seeks to “make it profitable to do the right thing and overly costly to carry out damaging acts.”
How can individuals and financial partners get involved in the BRP and Empathy Coins?
Individuals can currently support the BRP by making donations through the Envisionation website.
Donors of £25 or more may receive an airdrop of Empathy Coins upon successful launch of the coin infrastructure, potentially at the highest level of discount (subject to regulatory clearance and project development).
What are the key components and collaborations involved in the Biosphere Restoration Plan?
The BRP involves a consortium of international partners working together on various aspects of the plan. These include:
UWorld for the Empathy Coin online infrastructure; Equity 4 Humanity, hosted by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP); Total Impact Capital for managing the Biosphere Restoration Fund; Ecoflix for producing environmental films and media content; Interbrand for global brand consultancy; the ICES Foundation for developing the Whole Earth model; and Dtangle for managing complex data systems.
Envisionation also leverages its extensive network of scientists and solutions developers.
What is the significance of "whole Earth system accounting" and the "digital twin earth" in the BRP?
Whole Earth system accounting is a framework that aims to recognise the true cost and real value of every action by accounting for its environmental impact.
The BRP advocates for its international adoption to create a financial structure based on a healthy biosphere. To enable this, Envisionation is collaborating with the ICES Foundation to develop a “digital twin earth” – a supercomputing project that will integrate critical biosphere functionalities and human societal activity. This digital twin will provide valuable data for decision-making and will be foundational for whole Earth system accounting.
The health of the biosphere will be measured by the global living carbon account, representing the total amount of life on the planet, with a target to restore the current 50% deficit.
What are the potential benefits for financial partners who invest in the BRP and Empathy Coins?
Financial partners in the BRP will be entitled to discounted early access to Empathy Coins. Beyond this, they gain access to knowledge and opportunities within a wide range of emerging environmental technologies and profitable regeneration projects.
Participation can also be presented as a strong ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) solution for corporations. The potential for Empathy Coins to perform similarly to top cryptocurrencies, driven by public interest, investment levels, and the progress of biosphere restoration projects, also offers significant financial upside.
Furthermore, partners become part of a globally significant initiative addressing the climate crisis.
