*Dear Michel,*

What does it mean to be a Global Common Good? At a recent meeting in
Amsterdam, Bill and Ralph were asked who has downloaded our Blueprints, and
Ralph answered, "I have no idea. We don't track that information, because,
as a Global Common Good, we don't want to put any barrier between our
audience and our content."

It also means that we partner broadly, in the spirit of our
pre-competitive, market-making commitments. This month, we're glad to
announce a number of new Advocation Partners, including our longtime friend
John Fullerton of the Capital Institute, who keynoted

our 3rd International Conference in 2015 with the provocation of whether
the bioregion is a more apt locus of attention than the corporation -- a
notion that resonated with us deeply over the years. To get a sense of the
depth of our connection, the Capital Institute figures into many of the
newsletter items this month, which you can find bulleted below:

UNRISD Report Released
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=e812aebf99&e=e9fc303c86>

The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) has
released a report (available here
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=2ab6e3f75d&e=e9fc303c86>)
authored by r3.0 Senior Director Bill Baue that proposes a three-tiered
typology of Sustainable Development Performance Indicators. The report is
the first of several collaborations in this 4-year Indicators Project
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=03b07adcc3&e=e9fc303c86>
--
Bill is already working on the second report in the series, which will
propose Tier Two Contextualized Indicators corresponding to 33 Tier One
Incrementalist Indicators from a July 2019 UNCTAD report
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=b59eb4c5a9&e=e9fc303c86>.
Bill will present on both his reports at an upcoming UNRISD Workshop in
Montreal October 21/22, and we at r3.0 will integrate this material into
our ongoing work around transformation. If you want to chime in on the
online chatter around the report, please see the r3.0 twitter thread here

*(which
is about 60% full). The Working Groups are currently giving input on
preliminary Content Indexes and proposing resources to consult and
reference in the report. A First Exposure Draft will be released to Working
Group Members by 8 November, in advance of In-Person Working Group Meetings
in Philadelphia on 21/22 November.

r3.0 in Keith Ambachtsheer's Monthly Letter
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=f4645028f6&e=e9fc303c86>
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=81af72c27a&e=e9fc303c86>
For more than a third of a century, Keith Ambachtsheer has been publishing
a Monthly Letter
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=866438f3f6&e=e9fc303c86>
on institutional investment that by now carries legendary status. In his
October 2019 Letter (pdf downloadable here
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=ca9a577863&e=e9fc303c86>),
he takes on the question of "Sustainable Finance," inspired in part by his
participation in the r3.0 Sustainable Finance Blueprint Working Group.

"[S]ustainability means ‘ability to exist constantly’ at the macro
(biosphere/humanity) level. It has a parallel meaning at the micro
(individual organization) level. These definitions set us on our way to
common understandings of macro and micro ‘sustainable finance’," Keith
writes, echoing the r3.0 focus on the micro/macro link.

He goes on to specifically spotlight r3.0's work on Sustainable Finance,
referencing our "crowdsourcing" through our Blueprint Working Group
process; "boundary setting" through our Global Thresholds & Allocations
Council
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=8d142e21fc&e=e9fc303c86>;
and
"threshold investing" as proposed
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=3a3e68bcc1&e=e9fc303c86>
by Bill and r3.0 Advocation Partner Mark McElroy back in 2013. You can read

The second running of the r3.0 Transformation Academy in Rotterdam, hosted
by r3.0 Advocation Partner THRIVE Institute, is set to commence next month,
and run through March 2020. Register here
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=51917b6d57&e=e9fc303c86>

*Dates:*

   - *Basecamp:* 13/14 November 2019
   - *Planning the Route:* 12/13 December 2019
   - *The Climb:* 22/23 January 2020
   - *The Mountain Top:* 04/05 March 2020

We're also in multiple conversations about other Transformation Journey
Programs, including some hosted by Advocation Partners with specific
geographic / sectoral / thematic orientations. For a sense of the value of
the Transformation Journey Program, here a testimonial:
“The Transformation Journey Program has helped me grasp the context of what
is needed for systems change and ultimate thriveability. Moving towards
thriveability requires sound tools so that organisations can map where they
are, and the journey they need to take to get there. The TJP equips the
team with the tools and helps lay out the route.”

(GTAC) was identified as the most important initiative that r3.0 is
pursuing. Now that GTAC has received seed funding for producing a
Feasibility Study (also leading to a 3-year / €3m Funding Strategy), plans
are promising for a formal launch in mid-2020. Accordingly, we're excited
for Bill to share about GTAC in a Plenary Keynote at the New Metrics
Conference in Philadelphia on November 18-20.

r3.0's Phase One spanned from 2012 - 2019; Phase Two kicked off at the 2019
Conference, as Bill and Ralph described in the most recent Medium article
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=1feb644cf5&e=e9fc303c86>.
In it, they explained r3.0's pivot to focusing on Bioregional Regeneration,
as well as the second generation of Blueprints, the Transformation Journey
Programs, the Global Thresholds & Allocations Council, and the Research
Projects.

Together with its collaborative network, Capital Institute is searching for
a new narrative that will illuminate how our economy and financial system
can operate to promote a more just, regenerative, and thus sustainable way
of living on this earth.
*John Fullerton, Founder & President, Capital Institute*

*“Capital Institute and r3.0 have long seen eye-to-eye on the need to
transform our economic system toward regeneration, so it makes perfect
sense for us to make our partnership more visible as we collaborate more
purposefully.”*
<https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=1c2e27bfd2&e=e9fc303c86>

Noble Profit is building BFLO technology, a blockchain enabled solution
that will bring needed transparency to global markets and accountability to
sustainable business and investment.
BFLO protocol is being built to track, verify and manage sustainability
claims against the SDGs and other metrics.
*Amy Seidman, Founder & CEO, Noble Profit*
*“We at BFLO and Noble Profit are excited about joining the r3.0 Network to
tap into the expertise of fellow Advocation Partners. We look forward to
r3.0 and cohorts playing a role in validating sustainability claims using
BFLO protocol to achieve our mutual goals toward a healthy environment and
planet."*

The current era of globalization and IT-adoption brings its own types of
complexity, in establishing fair and sustainable policies. A deep
understanding of the changing structural undercurrents of our financial and
socio-economic domains is imperative. To assess these dynamics,
EntropoMetrics applies chaos theory and thermodynamic principles to these
domains. Our diagnostic framework allows us to perform a so-called
Technical Domain Analysis (as either research or consultancy), to enable
the policy-making of today.
*Martijn Veening, Founder & Analyst, EntropoMetrics*

*"The recent impressive wave in new (circular, cyclical) economic paradigms
is currently in need of convergence and consolidation into a useful new
framework, ready for implementation. At EntropoMetrics we think the r3.0
initiative is providing exactly this, and we hope to contribute to this
systemic point of view, specifically for the Value Cycles Blueprint."*
2Impact enables organisations to turn their purpose into real impact. At
2Impact we believe that organisations that focus on the needs of their
stakeholders and society at large are the ones that will succeed in the
long run.
*Esther de Graaf, Founder, 2Impact*

*"What inspires us at 2impact is the chance to collaborate with like-minded
people and change organisations in their thinking and action. r3.0 offers a
great collaborative framework to immerse ourselves in the questions of
necessary change. I am therefore a proud member of the Advocation Partner
Program of r3.0"*
