1. The document outlines a model for eco-capitalism involving green finance from insurers and pension funds to fund infrastructure projects through partnerships with local authorities.
2. Capital is raised from investors seeking safe investments and matched to projects by insurers, who de-risk projects through licensing and technical requirements.
3. Returns from projects create stable income to fund community projects like regeneration, transport, and renewable energy according to principles of stable state economics.

If the goal of the kingdom (or in this case, the corporation) is to survive and
prosper, then what is the goal of its strategy? Sun Tzu offers this advice:
“Your aim must be to take All-under-Heaven intact. Thus your
troops are not worn out and your gains will be complete. This is the
art of offensive strategy.”

Association of British Insurers and Lloyd’s are hereby informed of Model for Eco-capitalism.
Green Finance from Schumacher Capital Partners and Red Dragon Partnerships works on the basis of
The Four Agreements.
1. Capital funds are raised from investors and markets
seeking a safe haven for their investment.
2. Capital and projects are matched by insurance
brokers working with ABI and Lloyd’s on a national
basis according to the country of project,
development, initiative or undertaking.
3. Because the money is debt-free finance AND
because the money is used for Bottom-up Funding
the returns create a stable RENTAL income that can
be used to create an annuity or perpetuity from the
community project – that may be a community
regeneration project, transport, city initiative,
community energy project, hospital, school or other
infrastructure project based on Stable State
Economics – Economics As If People Mattered.
4. The insurance company MATCHES Capital with Project and de-risks the project by providing:
Licensing, technical specification requirements, validation and registration for the purposes
of fulfilling insurance terms and conditions for: protection of bio-diversity – habitat
protection, defence of natural resources and transition to low-carbon technology.
5. See: Stern Report and Resources Futures – a Report by the Royal Institute for International
Affairs – Chatham House
6. The transition to low-carbon technology AND the use of Green Finance – Bottom Up Funding
For Economic Resilience – “Buffer Economy” provide a useful strategy for insurers to act in a
concerted commercial way to respond to global risk – See Global Risks Report – World
Economic Forum.
7. By overseeing Public Works in the areas of: Security, Transport, Energy, Agriculture,
Licensing, Training and Healthcare the Insurers and Pension Funds can apply the principles of
Pure Science, Pure Reason, Pure Logic and Pure Maths (actuarial science) to the application
and delivery of relevant sustainable insurance products and services tailored to meet the
needs of: a/city development b/rural development c/Town & Country Planning and

The Four Agreements
Insurers work with:
1. Green Finance Providers
2. Public Works Contractors engaged in security
and renewable energy (e.g.) defence companies
3. Insurers partner with local authorities and
regional or national government to accord with
the call for sustainable economic regeneration
and TAX collection.
4. Insurers and Pension Funds accord with the call
to accord Rights to Nature and the development
of Soil Capital – Natural Capital – in line with the
Eco-polis agro-polis Model Food For Cities based
on the intersection of Science, Capital,
Agriculture and Technology that is at the centre
of The Four Agreements between:

appropriate underwriting for the purposes of risk management and security.

We have a Model for Sustainable Capitalism.
The model depends on the intersection of four cross roads – Science – Capital –
Agriculture and Technology – at which
intersection we have the gateway for Green
Finance and Bottom Up Funding for Zero
Carbon Pensions.
Many may shudder when they hear the word
capitalism – it is not capital that is the
problem – it is the extractive method used to
appropriate capital that causes the
headache.
There is a fundamental difference between extractive technology that uses
extractive methods to drive down labour costs, reduce the human element to zero,

and automate to machine drivers and the role of
sustainable technology that works according to scale
and provides employment – livelihood and vocation
instead of instrumentalising the individual to serve the
ends of another.
Sustainable Capital – is based on Capital Development –
Human, Social and Natural Capital – Soil Capital that
allows people to feed themselves and not be a burden or
security risk to others.
The Sustainable Model addresses food security and
energy security by aligning the values of Rights for
Nature – as evidenced by a Latin American country with
the needs of People – Buen Vivir - with the needs of the
region – The Rainforests.
By aligning Conservation Interests with the Needs of the Region – the interests of
the rest of the world to see Stable State Governance can be addressed by tackling
the fundamental position – the move from Extractive to Supportive. Simply, there
are too many fingers extracting from the pot – if one learns to remove one’s fingers
and address the needs of supportive economy – building pots – then Green Finance
for Infrastructure Projects becomes a default position.
Pot-making is an industrial activity that is the foundation of civilisation itself.
Clean water, sanitation, fresh local produce, non-toxic supplies of energy, access to
healthcare and education are all part of the Food For Cities programme that is at
the heart of the Eco-polis Agro-polis model.
Enabling sustainable land management through appropriate use of technology
calls for being informed by the work of those whose role is to develop renewable
energy through sustainable technology and develop strategy and policy for Stable
State Governance, informed by and informing Stable State Economics, Stable State
Currency and Eunomia.
