The Nature Restoration Summit

The Nature Restoration Summit is a global platform that unites industry leaders and top companies with a shared purpose:

• to accelerate their journey towards a carbon-zero strategy
• to raise essential funds for ecosystem restoration.

Created by the Free Spirit Foundation, an actor in the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, this annual event is poised to make a lasting impact.

One of our core objectives is to raise funds in support of the UN World Ecosystem Restoration Flagships. By securing the necessary resources, we can ensure the success of these vital projects that are dedicated to rejuvenating and protecting our natural world.

Businesses have a critical role to play in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. At the summit, we empower and accelerate their journey towards a Carbon Zero Strategy. This transformation is pivotal in creating a more sustainable global economy.

Sustainability is not a solo effort. The summit serves as a platform to create synergies and share best practices among businesses implementing solutions with a positive impact on the environment. This collaborative approach is essential in achieving lasting change.

Large companies should support nature restoration initiatives as a critical component of their commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible corporate citizenship. By investing in large-scale nature restoration projects, these companies contribute to the mitigation of climate change impacts. Nature restoration, such as reforestation and biodiversity conservation, provides a natural and cost-effective mechanism for sequestering carbon, preserving essential ecosystems, and fostering biodiversity.

Beyond environmental benefits, such initiatives align with corporate social responsibility, enhancing the company’s reputation and brand image. In an era of increasing consumer and investor scrutiny on environmental practices, supporting nature restoration reflects a commitment to ethical and sustainable business operations.

In the face of pressing environmental challenges, it’s imperative for businesses to take proactive steps towards carbon neutrality. The ‘Nature Restoration Summit’ provides a unique opportunity for companies to connect, share knowledge, and implement sustainable practices that drive the transition to a net-zero global economy. Our aim is to inspire transformation across sectors, fostering a culture of sustainability.

Ecosystems are the cornerstone of a healthy planet. We recognize the importance of preserving and restoring these vital resources. By participating in the ‘Nature Restoration Summit’, companies are not only advancing your carbon-zero strategy but also contributing to the global effort to support ecosystem restoration. Their involvement helps safeguard our planet’s biodiversity and natural beauty for generations to come.

La Seine Musicale is a cultural complex, located on the western tip of the Île Seguin in Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, France. The complex is designed to be environmentally sustainable and features a number of green building features, including a rainwater harvesting system, solar panels, and a green roof.

A globe-shaped observation deck, made of glass and timber laminated lattice, sits atop the concrete hull and around it slides a ‘solar sail,’ composed of 470 photovoltaic panels, which tracks the sun across the sky and maximizes the generation of clean energy.
