Our story

Foundations Earth is a globally distributed team and network of innovators, community builders, social movement organisers, facilitators, film makers and more, who share a commitment to imagining and co- creating alternatives to our dominant systems.

Our journey together began in 2021 when we were commissioned by a high-net-worth individual to explore the potential for creating a new executive power in response to biosphere collapse. As we delved deeper, we became increasingly aware of the risks of centralised responses and the complexity of decentralised responses.

We feel the urgency of the climate and ecological crises, inequalities, resource wars and unaligned technology - yet we know that these problems cannot be solved in isolation, nor by any single entity. This is why we are committed to tackling these problems through a plurality of responses at different scales. 

We embrace the uncertainty that comes with accepting that we do not yet know what the future looks like, and we remain open to what emerges as part of a wider ecology of change. 

We explore and experiment with new ways of being in relation with each other and the rest of the living world, new ways of knowing and experiencing our environments, and new ways of working together towards common goals.

We aspire to build on the work of others who have inspired us on this journey, and who have laid the foundations for our work to emerge.

We act in service to the people and places most affected, and are open to working together with all who share a sense that another world is possible.
