We need a new operating system for civilization.
Thirty years ago, David Gottfried co-founded the U.S. Green Building Council, funded its early work, and later founded the World Green Building Council. The movement scaled globally.
Regen360 is the system he built when he realized buildings alone couldn't carry the whole load. It's an operating system for regeneration — built on Earth's own accounting, where life is what's counted.
"At this bleak moment in our planet's history, hope is just what we need."
— Denis Hayes, founder of Earth Day
"Our future depends on integrating sustainability into all that we do. David Gottfried’s pioneering work is proof that we can do it..."
— Former President Bill Clinton

David Gottfried helped found and grow the green building movement, watched it scale to 85 countries, and saw that buildings alone couldn't bend the planetary curve. So he wrote the operating system for what comes next.
"David is challenging the underlying operating logic of how we measure success, how we build, and how we define progress. The questions being asked are the right ones — and they are being asked by someone who has earned the credibility to ask them." — Rick Fedrizzi, from the Foreword
