Regenerative GDP (ReGDP)

Blue Green Future's accounting framework that counts living ecosystems as productive infrastructure in GDP and on sovereign balance sheets.

ReGDP, "Regenerative GDP", is a framework from Blue Green Future, a natural-capital finance firm whose co-founder and CEO is Ralph Chami. Its premise is that healthy ecosystems are productive economic infrastructure, and that the income they generate (carbon storage, coastal protection, fisheries, tourism, water regulation, biodiversity) should appear in economic and fiscal analysis rather than stay invisible to it. The firm's page frames the result as natural capital recognised as a sovereign asset, with consequences for public debt, debt-to-GDP, annual revenue and sovereign net worth.

The page carries four country case studies with interactive dashboards: the Bahamas (seagrass carbon revenues and sovereign debt), Indonesia (mangrove value and public debt), Panama (nature revenue and fiscal sustainability) and the Maldives (coral-related activity and taxation). Chami presented ReGDP in a keynote at EarthX 2026 on 21 April 2026.

Status: a framework and set of illustrative dashboards. Blue Green Future says the dashboards are analytical tools rather than predictions and not a substitute for country policy analysis. No methodology document or adoption by a government is stated on the pages read.
