Abstract: This chapter synthesizes a set of eight foundational principles as a proposed basis for economics that supports all of life. The principles are drawn from and found in seven transformative frameworks oriented towards justice and wellbeing for all: the IPBES (Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) Transformative Change Assessment; the Earth System Justice framework; Principles that Support Life and Wellbeing; Regenerative Economics; the Global Assessment for a New Economics Principles Transforming Economics; the Regenerative Lens; and the Natural (Eco-Social) Contract. The shared core principles across all of these frameworks and approaches are: equity, justice, and fairness; pluralism, inclusiveness, voice, and diversity; balanced human-nature relations; acknowledging purpose, complexity, and ongoing learning; holism; limits to growth; regenerativity, adaptiveness, and responsiveness; and relationality and connectedness.
