Co-Founder and Director of Legal & Governance at Restore Blue - Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
It is now widely accepted that in addition to limiting greenhouse gas emissions, large-scale restoration of ecosystems is required to draw down carbon in the atmosphere, avoid a global mass extinction event and to secure the long-term stability of the natural world.Social and environmental impact businesses have a leading role in solving the climate and biodiversity crises. It was with this in mind that we founded Restore Blue Pty Ltd.Restore Blue addresses the catastrophic decline in Australia's blue carbon wetlands through green finance and the power of individual climate action. Our goal is to restore 10,000 hectares of degraded Australian coastal floodplain land into thriving blue carbon ecosystems by 2030. This will help to stop the decline of Australia's coastal habitats and biodiversity, boost local communities through the rehabilitation of local fisheries and develop robust, transparent and long-lasting carbon offsets.
