More on Initiative Earth and EcoResolution
Initiative Earth is a new Charity with a vision of resilient communities and restored ecosystems, a world where people and nature thrive together. This year we are launching our online platform in Ecosystem Restoration and Agroecology learning, offering high-quality on-demand courses taught by farmers and restorers worldwide.
In 2019 we launched an online campaign called EcoResolution, a globally recognised education-for-action platform co-founded with Cara Delevingne. EcoResolution is on a mission to reach the ecologically disengaged, access mainstream consciousness, and shift disempowering narratives that perpetuate collective apathy in the face of ecological breakdown and social injustice in order to ignite imaginations, inspire change, and empower action.
Last year we launched the Changemaker Network, an online community of individuals from across the world seeking support to address the environmental crisis, working collaboratively to learn, take action and build social movements.
