Bioregional Briefing Room is a rolling, recorded series hosted by the Atlantic Isles Bioregional Finance & Governance Community of Practice. While our conversations happen in a closed room, we are sharing the recordings publicly because the ideas, tools and stories could be of great value to bioregional practitioners around the world. In the future we plan to cover topics such as how bioregions show up in climate modelling and response, the geopolitics-resources-violence nexus, and how bioregional finance can interface with the wider economy.

Episode 1 — Audrey Tang Recorded on 19 August 2025, this session explores pro-social AI for civic participation and bioregional governance, and how open, plural and privacy-respecting approaches can strengthen place-based decision-making.

About the series

The Briefing Room runs every two months. We convene practitioners, policy-makers, technologists, researchers and community leaders to brief our community on emerging topics shaping bioregional practice, and to share the learning.
