From public to private sector organisations and frameworks, now more than ever it is highly likely you will be asked to demonstrate your own net-zero roadmap.
The Tulema Koysa site lies in the Darwuo Zone of southern Ethiopia. Residents of the nearby villages lament that the hills that make up this site were covered in a lush forest only ten years ago. Unfortunately, due to increasing populations, agricultural expansion, charcoal production, and unsustainable forest management practices, the region’s forests have been decimated. Additionally, the removal of more significant numbers of trees, and the steep slopes of this site, have exacerbated soil erosion into the nearby Omo River.

The planting site, known as “Milihoi/Kichwa Cha Nyoka,” is situated on the coast of Kenya, directly inland from the southern end of Lamu Island. The Swahili name for the site, “Kichwa Cha Nyoka,” literally translates to “head of the snake.” The project aims to restore more than 2,000 hectares of partially degraded mangrove forests while protecting healthy mangroves.
The Old Town of Lamu was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 for its outstanding conservation of Swahili culture in East Africa. Lamu Old Town has become a renowned tourist attraction due to its well-preserved traditional Swahili architecture. The region is also famous for its social, cultural, and religious practices that have been sustained and passed down through generations.

In Lao People’s Democratic Republic, a major study published in 2018 found that 86.3% of members had E. coli in household drinking water, indicating risk of diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases. Although a significant portion of the population treats water by boiling using woody biomass or charcoal to make it safe for drinking, many families cannot afford the time to gather firewood or purchase charcoal and are forced to continue drinking unsafe water.

A lack of access to electrical energy is a major issue in the north region of the Republic of Honduras. This small run-of-river hydroelectric generating power plant is providing renewable energy to the national grid (displacing traditional fossil fueled power plants), whilst improving the quality of electricity for local communities in the department of Colon. Improved access to electricity also reduces the dependency on fuel wood, helping to relieve deforestation pressures in the local environment.
