Introduction
The 2026 International Conference on Regenerative Foundations (RECP26) arrives at a critical turning point for our planet. As the limitations of mere "sustainability" become increasingly clear, the global scientific community is shifting its focus toward regeneration—the active restoration of our ecological systems. RECP26 serves as a premier international forum for researchers, conservationists, and policymakers to move beyond harm reduction and toward the creation of self-healing, resilient landscapes.
Our mission is to explore the "Regenerative Foundations" of the mid-21st century, where human activity is designed to harmonize with the biosphere rather than exploit it. This conference bridges the gap between high-level climate modeling and on-the-ground ecological practices, focusing on how we can restore biodiversity, stabilize the climate, and embed sustainable practices into the very fabric of our global infrastructure.
Join us as we redefine our relationship with the Earth. Whether your work involves rewilding projects, carbon sequestration technologies, or the ethics of ecological governance, RECP26 provides the collaborative space to turn "Restoration" from a goal into a global reality.
