Abstract
This study critically examines how the transition to a regenerative economy can accelerate global decarbonisation in the Anthropocene era. On the brink of an unprecedented climate crisis, humanity stands at a critical crossroads. The transition from a 'grey' economy - driven by fossil fuels and unsustainable practices - to a 'green' and regenerative economy is not just an option, but an urgent necessity to ensure the survival and prosperity of future generations. The analysis explores strategies to advance decarbonisation through the adoption of regenerative economic models, situating the discussion within the context of human dominance and its profound impact on Earth's systems. The study argues that addressing the challenge of decarbonisation within the framework of global capitalism requires a comprehensive, multi-dimensional approach. This includes the use of nature-based solutions alongside a fundamental restructuring of economic and social systems.
