Peer-Learning: Multilateral Finance for Regenerative Economies (Past)
Exploring the role of multilateral financial institutions in enabling regenerative and distributive economies
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
You are warmly invited to join our policy peer-learning series — a space to connect with fellow Doughnut Economics enthusiasts and explore together how its seven ways of thinking can inform government policies and shape governance systems.
Time: June 4th 11:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. (UK time)
Event overview
Multilateral development banks (MDBs) such as the World Bank, and multilateral climate and development funds such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), channel hundreds of billions of dollars annually to low- and middle-income economies. Beyond the funding itself, these institutions wield significant influence over recipient countries' policies and government programmes, and hold immense convening power.
Yet there is growing debate about how that power is exercised and a pressing need to reimagine and redesign these institutions' mandates and operational models to better address our interlinked global ecological and social crises.
In this session, we will explore together the current roles these MDBs and multi-lateral funds play and how they could be reimagined to help accelerate the transition to economies that are regenerative and distributive by design.
The session is co-hosted by Tatiana Kan, Finance and Planning Consultant at GCF , and Xiaoting Hou-Jones, Government & Policy Lead at DEAL. Drawing on her experience working within GCF, Tatiana brings a unique insider perspective to help spark rich conversation.

I operate at a rare intersection: I'm a practicing REALTOR® with Windermere Signature Properties, a business and PR marketing consultant, a freelance Audio Visual Technician, and a technology founder building a platform designed to change how agents and clients experience real estate from the ground up. As a Realtor, I work with first-time buyers, seasoned investors, and clients navigating the Bay Area to Sacramento corridor. What I bring that most agents can't is 20 years spanning from marketing, content development, visual media, event production, arts curation, to videography and photography. I don't just list homes. I tell their story, coordinate every moving part, and stay in my clients' corner from the first conversation to the closing table. My market knowledge spans the Central Valley, Greater Sacramento, the Bay Area, and Lake Tahoe. On the consulting side, I work with businesses ready to sharpen their brand, scale their marketing, and build systems that hold. My background covers content strategy, SEO, UX/UI, brand storytelling, digital platform management, and advertising — and I translate all of it into clear, practical strategy through Centralis LLC. In live production, I've worked across breakout rooms, convention halls, concert venues, and large-scale conference centers as a freelance AV Technician — installing and operating LED walls, lighting, audio systems, and full end-to-end AV infrastructure where precision is non-negotiable. On the technology side, I'm developing an application built to close the gap between real estate agents and the clients they serve. Two decades of firsthand experience meeting a problem that has gone unsolved for too long. Staying current matters to me. I'm actively engaged with NAR, SAR, and PCAR, completing a Mediation Certification through UC Davis, and pursuing my Certified Home Stager and Certified Luxury Home Agent designations. I'm also a proud LeadingRE Military on the Move and Heroes certified agent — if you serve or have served, there's a credit at closing waiting for you. If you're thinking about a move, need a consultant who has done the work, need help planning and executing your event, or are curious about what's coming next to your area — I'd love to be the person you call first.
