Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
This is one of my proudest moments! We’re ecstatic to have been selected as a Protect and Restore Nature Finalist for The Earthshot Prize!
The Earthshot Prize was launched by Prince William to spotlight and scale the solutions that are repairing and regenerating our planet.
Today’s announcement is not only recognition of our hard work, but also of our solution’s impact and inspiration.
Through our #FreetownTheTreeTown initiative, we are building a portfolio of nature-based projects to address our climate crisis and invest in ecological infrastructure. We are increasing green jobs, protecting and preserving our water, strengthening community resilience, and creating sustainable investment models. We are able to build our natural capital through carbon trade and other investment platforms to reduce the risks of heat stress and other climate hazards.
Special thanks to Manja Kargbo who led the team and to my colleagues Eric HUBBARD, Vandy Amos Saati, Gabriel and Kamila Janczyk. This is a result of our collective efforts, demonstrating the power of team work.
I also want to take a moment to acknowledge Mayor-elect Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE of Freetown, under whose leadership and dedication to making a change, we have been able to make this transformative journey. What started as a straightforward solution is now one of the most innovative climate solution impacting people and planet.
The 2023 Earthshot Prize Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in Singapore on November 7, which will be broadcast around the globe. I hope you’ll join us on the journey to Singapore.
Thank you to The Earthshot Prize and Bloomberg Philanthropies for this recognition and opportunity to scale our climate and heat resilience.
