Melbourne Book Circle: March 2026

Climate Capital, Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future

by Tom Chi

Who is this for: 

This reading circle is for people who feel that traditional economics and finance is no longer fit for purpose and want to explore what it could become and ways we might get there. The circle is open for anyone committed to doing the reading, showing up, thinking critically, and engaging in honest dialogue. It’s okay if you’re more reserved and rather contribute through action and experimentation. The group is intended to embody the 4 Cs in the book: Critical Thinking, Compassion, Community and Climate.

What is the format: 

4 Book Circle Meetings starting Thursday, 2 April, 2026.

Each session promises an active discussion on what was covered in the book, especially practical applications in our own lives and work. Guest speakers working in climate and finance will also be joining to share their experience and perspectives.
