Global Earth Repair Convergence
MAY 8-10, 2026 | Fort Worden, Port Townsend, WA
The Earth is calling. And a growing movement is responding. In May 2026, the Global Earth Repair Convergence returns to the Salish Sea bioregion—bringing together a diverse community of Earth repairers, scientists, Indigenous leaders, artists, farmers, and grassroots organizers to share real, tangible, and low-tech climate solutions rooted in care for land, water, and life.
Held at the historic Fort Worden Conference Center in Port Townsend, Washington, this three-day convergence will welcome more than 500 in-person participants and over 1,000 online attendees from across the globe. Together, we’ll explore how to green the planet to cool the planet, exchanging tools and knowledge for ecosystem restoration, regenerative water cycles, soil health, community resilience, and climate healing.
What Is Earth Repair?
Earth Repair is the hands-on, heart-forward work of ecological regeneration.
Whether you call it ecosystem restoration, biomimicry, natural climate solutions, or simply stewardship, the core aim is the same: to restore balance in our landscapes, strengthen water cycles, build healthy soils, support biodiversity, and help cool a rapidly warming planet.
This convergence will spotlight powerful strategies such as:
Rehydrating landscapes and restoring aquifers
Increasing soil organic matter to build the "soil sponge"
Transitioning croplands to agroforestry
Strengthening the small water cycle and biotic pump
Restoring marine and terrestrial forests to rebalance the climate
Sequestering carbon in soils and vegetation
Elevating community-led solutions for justice and resilience
What To Expect
Workshops, panels, and presentations from leading scientists, Indigenous knowledge holders, and seasoned practitioners
Hands-on skill-building in restoration, reforestation, agroecology, and more
Cross-sector dialogue between movements—climate, water, food, education, housing, and finance
Arts, music, and ceremony woven throughout the event
Hybrid access for global participants, including livestreams and recorded content
A marketplace of ideas featuring vendors, campaigns, and collaboration opportunities
The Convergence will build on the success of past events:
– 500+ participants in 2019 (in-person)
– 500+ online participants in 2022 (summit)
– Deep Indigenous participation, grassroots leadership, and global alliances
Why It Matters
While mainstream climate conversations focus on emissions, this gathering lifts up regenerative earthwork as a direct, scalable, and accessible path forward. These are not hypothetical technologies—they are proven practices already in motion, requiring little fossil fuel or extractive input, and rooted in community, local knowledge, and ecological wisdom.
As ecosystems degrade and climate impacts intensify, Earth Repair offers hope—and a tangible way for people everywhere to take action. Every restored watershed, every new tree canopy, every patch of thriving soil makes a difference. This is a call to repair, reconnect, and regenerate at all levels—ecological, social, and spiritual.
