Happy to share that I'll be joining a panel of experts and speaking at 9th International Talk: Green Business, Sustainability and Climate Action! Since I have been developing and promoting regenerative concepts and the rationale underlying this multidisciplinary body of work in the mid 1990s, the concept of Regeneration has been adopted by some across many sectors and gained some traction internationally. During this talk I will highlight some of the key aspects of this innovation whilst delving deeper into its history, evolution from sustainability to regeneration models for travel and tourism businesses, but not only as well as some of its successful, practical applications to date. These had produced some of the most promising regenerative outcomes that have helped shape and drive climate action through projects and ventures in diverse geographical locations. Join us at this exciting Online Event, this coming Tuesday on January 7th to learn more about the latest international innovation for Climate, Green Business and Sustainability!
