Executive Summary
Introduction
Brand Earth’s Earth Bank and Earth Pass redefine global economic activity, turning daily transactions into a force for social empowerment and environmental regeneration.
The Earth Bank is a lifeline for our planet, channeling funds from the Earth Pass and other sources to foster a regenerative future. Dedicated to restoring our Earth, it ensures every contribution is effectively used.
The Earth Pass is a micro-contribution system that channels a tiny part of every transaction – “common cents” – into the Earth Bank, funding projects dedicated to environmental and social regeneration.
Bloomberg estimates that a staggering $200 trillion is required to effectively reverse global warming through renewable energy, ecological restoration, restorative agriculture, and bioregionalism for regenerative living. To achieve the net-zero target by 2050, annual green investments must triple to $6.9 trillion by 2030. These investments are essential to prevent the catastrophic effects of a 3°C rise in global temperatures, which could render large areas of our planet uninhabitable.
The imperative is clear: immediate and substantial investment is necessary to safeguard humanity’s future and ensure our survival on Earth.

Financial Overview
Brand Earth’s financial model mobilizes global funds for environmental restoration with minimal initial investment for infrastructure.
Brand Earth Financial Impact Model
Mobilizing Funds for Humanity’s Survival
Brand Earth’s financial impact through the establishment of the Earth Bank and the Earth Pass aims to address a critical global challenge: securing the funding required to ensure humanity’s survival.
Bloomberg estimates $200 trillion is needed to combat global warming, including renewable energy, ecological restoration, restorative agriculture, and bioregionalism for regenerative living.
To meet the net-zero target by 2050, annual green investments must triple to $6.9 trillion by 2030. Brand Earth aims to mobilize a significant portion of these funds through the Earth Bank and Earth Pass, securing a regenerative future.
These investments aim to prevent 3°C of warming, which would render large areas uninhabitable. Immediate investment is crucial to avoid catastrophic impacts, despite high upfront costs.
Comprehensive Income Streams for a Regenerative Future
The Earth Bank’s income comes from various sources, providing steady funds for global environmental restoration and regenerative projects, including donations, investments, grants, government funding, partnerships, sponsorships, endowments, and trusts.
The Earth Pass’s micro-contribution system channels a hundredth of 1% (a BIP) from each transaction to support restoration efforts. This applies to retail, bank transfers, card payments, mobile and e-commerce, B2B payments, trading, cryptocurrency, and peer-to-peer transactions.
This comprehensive approach ensures that the Earth Bank can distribute substantial financial resources to bioregions around the world, fostering a regenerative and sustainable future.
The Earth Pass aims to generate trillions of dollars, potentially between $2 to $10 trillion over a ten-year timeframe. This substantial fund will support various regenerative projects essential for global ecological restoration.
Strategic Fund Distribution Across Bioregions
The Earth Bank will partner with 185 bioregions to establish bioregional stewardship councils. These councils will expand the Earth Pass and allocate funds from local transactions to projects suited to their region’s needs.
This approach ensures effective resource distribution, fostering local resilience and global impact. The Earth Bank’s bioregional strategy empowers communities and supports regenerative practices, addressing unique regional challenges.
