Episode Seven: Climate, carbon neutrality and nature-based solutions
In this episode, we talk about climate, carbon neutrality and nature-based solutions – and how, through partnering with pioneering start-ups, we’re using plant power to combat climate change and boost ocean health.
We talk to Kirsten Hund, De Beers’ Head of Carbon Neutrality, to find out more about our own approach and how, along with carbon-sequestering leaders Kelp Blue, we’re making an even greater impact by capturing carbon off the coast of Namibia.
Ethical practice, thriving communities, equal opportunity and the natural world are topics teeming with questions – and if you’ve got one for us, we’d love to hear from you. So if there’s something you think we should discuss in a future episode, do get in touch with us.
