E133 Tripp Wall: The Economics of Restoration
Description
Can markets really bring ecosystems back to life?
Tripp Wall thinks so — and he’s putting capital where most only put campaigns. As founder of Trailhead Capital and Pantheon Regeneration, he’s scaling restoration projects that don’t just conserve nature, but rebuild it: rivers, forests, biodiversity, and the communities that depend on them.
We dive into the economics of regeneration — from voluntary carbon and regulated water markets to the AI tools tracking ecosystem health in real time. Tripp explains why environmental inflation is already warping balance sheets, why insurers and investors are starting to wake up, and how soil carbon, biochar, and even enhanced rock weathering could change the game.
This is more than climate chat. It’s a blueprint for turning restoration into an investable, durable, trillion-dollar market — and a reminder that the future of finance may just depend on the health of the land beneath our feet.
