OUR EXPERTISE

CLIMATE CHANGE

Managing climate change is arguably the most complex problem facing humankind this century. C4 implements innovative solutions for adapting to climate change and reducing concentrations of greenhouse gases.

GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY

C4 specialises in developing innovative strategies that conserve biodiversity yet maintain the productivity of agricultural landscapes for local communities.

ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION

C4 develops implementation protocols and funding mechanisms for restoration of degraded forests, woodlands, savannas, thickets, deserts, mangroves, and wetlands across Africa, Asia and the Pacific.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Adaptation to climate change, conservation of biodiversity and restoration of ecosystems all require intensive adaptive management informed by rigorous scientific research.

Our Team
 

Anthony Mills, Chairperson of C4 EcoSolutions, was contracted by UNEP to develop the strategy for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. The Decade will play an important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by preventing and reversing the degradation of ecosystems over hundreds of millions of hectares between 2021 and 2030.

This will be achieved by encouraging heads of state and corporations to champion restoration, engaging youth organisations globally, providing a digital hub for catalysing a global movement of restoration volunteers, shifting fossil fuel and agricultural subsidies towards restoration investments, developing bankable business models for large-scale restoration, and fostering a new restoration culture across the world.
