As well as being among the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth, healthy wetlands protect us from flooding, help clean water of pollutants, and sequester significant amounts of carbon. But these unique ecosystems are under threat across the world – over the past 300 years, a staggering 87% of the ...

With an estimated 25% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from our food system, rethinking our approach to agriculture is essential if we are to create a sustainable future. By working in harmony with nature, regenerative agriculture can provide more nutritious food at the same time as reducing em...

Despite making up only around 5% of the world’s population, indigenous people protect an estimated 80% of the planet’s remaining biodiversity.

In this second offering RE:TV highlights some of the inspiring innovations and ideas that are emerging in response to the climate and biodiversity crisis.
RE:TV was announced at the World Economic Forum at Davos in January 2020 by His Majesty King Charles III (then HRH The Prince of Wales) along...

Plants are essential to human survival, but the climate and biodiversity crisis means that 40% of all plants are facing extinction, and many of the food crops we rely on are struggling to adapt to the changing environment. Finding ways of helping crops become more resilient to extreme conditions ...

New Iridium is the Carbon-negative chemical manufacturing inspired by photosynthesis.

The chemicals industry generates trillions of dollars of revenue globally, producing a wide range of products from packaging and paint to food and pharmaceuticals. However, many of the manufacturing processes i...

ReTV looks aft accelerating carbon capture from natural chemical weathering. With more than 2 trillion tonnes of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today, we need to accelerate efforts to capture existing #CO2 as well as reduce our emissions.
The oceans are one of the largest carbon sinks on...
