Abstract
This paper proposes a policy pathway to upscale local complementary currencies (LCCs) for sustainable development. It reviews how LCCs embed monetary circulation within sustainability criteria, then presents a prototype policy where private banks swap SDG impact certificates of LCC loans for new reserve assets at the Central Bank. A PK-SFC model (106 equations) simulates the policy, showing short-lived economic expansion, increased banking stability, and structural change through enhanced systemic resilience and evolutionary fitness. Practical implications for sustainability policies are discussed.
