Description

Anete and Kristjan are combining a blend of legal and financial expertise to bring forward a for profit company that's large in both scale and in benefits for people and planet.One Million Tonne Nation (1MTN) is focused on land restoration across East Africa, where deforested sites are being planted with bamboo polycultures as a starting point to establish new growth for the local economy, habitat and community.It's an ambition that involves accelerating the development of carbon markets for nature based carbon removals and the team brings together experience from across the globe and across sectors to navigate what are ever evolving and pretty challenging areas of business.Large scale land restoration. And large lumps of money being brought into land restoration.Those two things may go hand in hand, but they tend to require very different mindsets as restoration can't simply be scaled up with a one size fits allRestoration needs to be contextual, adaptable.So I was very interested to learn about this project's approach and see how it offers unique insights and inspiration for others that aspire to scale up regeneration and really weave together benefits for people, planet, profit.It has huge potential and both Anete and Kristjan have a wealth of knowledge to share.I hope you enjoy having a listen!---------------------Episode Links:1MTN website - https://www.1mtn.com/LinkedIn 1MTN - https://www.linkedin.com/company/1mtn/This episode on the We Are Carbon Website - https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/people-planet-profit-1mtn/

We Are Carbon is the interview show that helps us to recognise that the future of both our planet and our societies can be incredibly beautiful - and that we all play a role in getting there! There's a new episode every Thursday, and they'll average 1 hr long. We see endless headlines warning us of the horrific impact that we're having on the climate and how dire the outlook is, but we're going to re-frame this crisis and start putting the solutions into our own hands. I'm inviting in voices from science, agriculture, business and more, to help us gain an understanding of how we might live in greater harmony with the world around us. How we can build a society where our everyday choices have a positive impact on regenerating and stabilising the planet that we depend upon. Because when the planet and nature are thriving; that's when we can thrive! That's when we can live in a world less focused on fear and restrictions. I don't think that real solutions are ever found until we zoom out, see the full picture and recognise how it all connects together. We can't view climate change as an isolated issue. Our health, our food security, stability of economies and the way we interact with one another, they're are all tied in. The topics can seem expansive, so we're using carbon as a focus. We're exploring some important, and at times complex subjects here. But the whole point is to make this info accessible and transparent to us all. So let me know if there's ever anything that you'd like breaking down or exploring further. Or if there's related topics that you feel should be discussed. Reach out and let's keep this project expanding! And if you're a visual learner, look out for the animations! I'm creating short digestible videos to illustrate some of the key concepts that we're exploring.
