Her work demonstrates how biotech innovation can serve planetary health while creating dignified livelihoods.
Philosopher & Systems Scientist
Two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and founder of the Club of Budapest, Dr Laszlo's systems philosophy integrates science, consciousness, and planetary ethics. He helps keep the Arc rooted in whole-systems stewardship as it scales across regions.
Climate Intelligence Advisor
Founder of ClimateGPT and Erasmus AI, Daniel applies advanced foresight and data science to policy, strengthening Arc modelling for climate resilience and carbon markets. He equips leaders with scenario analysis and insight sprints that keep deployment nimble amid shifting climate and economic signals.
Industrial Hemp Advisor
Global leader in industrial hemp development, Geoff advises governments on policy and directs Arc integration for construction, textiles, and bioplastics across international markets. He aligns growers, processors, and investors so hemp corridors deliver climate-positive materials at scale.
Global Sustainability Advisor
International strategist linking policy, technology, and human impact, Fiona streamlines governance metrics and social-impact evaluation for Arc programmes worldwide. She ensures results are trusted by communities, investors, and institutional partners alike.
OPTICS Initiative
Architectural & Education Advisor
Architect and founder of Build Academy, Ivan coordinates the Arc University Consortium and advances education-through-implementation across Mumbai, Sussex, Johannesburg, and Nairobi. He bridges academia and job-site delivery so every cohort graduates with measurable impact on the ground.
Sustainable Food Systems
Regenerative nutrition pioneer aligning ethical supply chains, women's empowerment, and global market access to build resilient food systems. Daniella leads product innovation, farmer training, and circular commerce models that deliver nutrient-rich foods and dignified livelihoods across Arc corridors.
Economic Transition Advisor
Economist and systems innovator measuring regenerative value across continents, Michel maps the socio-economic flows that matter most to Arc partners. He designs impact accounting frameworks that convert Arc pilots into replicable pathways for circular prosperity.
Sustainable Finance Advisor
Finance innovator bridging indigenous knowledge and modern investment, Eduardo curates regenerative asset portfolios and blended-finance vehicles for the Arc's continental rollout. He aligns community enterprises with sovereign and private capital so regeneration generates enduring local wealth.
Urban Design Advisor
Designer redefining city planning through Bioplanning, embedding biodiversity into urban systems and guiding Arc settlements that are climate-adaptive and life-centred. Dror demonstrates how regenerative placemaking can synchronise mobility, housing, and ecosystems in every corridor.
Regional Director Zimbabwe
Engineer and philanthropist coordinating the Arc's Zimbabwe pilot, Denial mobilises cooperatives and ensures equitable participation through Food 4 Africa networks. He activates farmer associations and public agencies to deliver food security with dignity and long-term resilience.
Scientific Advisor
Physicist and director of the ISF contributing unified physics and clean-energy research, Nassim aligns quantum-energy models with the Arc's renewable infrastructure agenda. He helps direct investment toward breakthrough technologies capable of powering regenerative hubs around the world.
Cultural & Ecological Diplomacy Advisor
Biocultural diplomat co-developing regenerative-city standards grounded in indigenous wisdom, Moon bridges spiritual ecology with governance and regenerative finance. She convenes elders, designers, and financiers to embed cultural sovereignty in every Arc initiative.
Take Action
Governments, cooperatives, NGOs, and impact investors are invited to collaborate in establishing regenerative corridors across regions. The Arc creates tailored pathways for implementation—linking land, technology, and finance to accelerate deployment.
