RE:ducing Emissions

We have an emissions problem. The gases released from large scale agriculture, wasted resources, industrial processes, and the burning of fossil fuels are polluting our atmosphere and warming our planet. Earth's climate system is reaching a tipping point.

In order to give our world the chance for a healthy future, we must cut our Greenhouse Gas Emissions to a fraction of their current levels. Visionaries in every industry are rising to the challenge to help us reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, find new sources of energy, and forge more efficient ways of work.

Innovative solutions in transport, energy, food, construction and fashion are helping clean up the key sectors generating the majority of our emissions today.

Biome Renewables

What can nature teach us about renewable energy? Over millennia, the natural world has adapted and refined its properties to be the best and most efficient version of itself. It is today a vast R&D lab that can inform the solutions to some of our most pressing issues.

Roam

Nairobi is one of the most congested cities in the world and suffers from severe air pollution as a result. For the city's residents, accelerating the transition to clean transport is critical. Roam have designed a range of electric motorbikes and buses to service the 43% of the population relying on public transport.
