Florent Kaiser Email and Phone Number
We have one decade to curb climate change.To respond to that, I dedicate my life to find urgent, practicable and scalable responses to three overarching questions based on regenerative and whole-systems thinking:1. Large-scale restoration: How can we most rapidly and effectively restore the at least 2 billion hectares of degraded ecosystems and forests that can provide around 30% of the global climate solutions? With Global Forest Generation, we are building on proven on-the-ground success to scale up a series of regional forest landscape restoration (FLR) initiatives to million-hectare scale. Our first initiative 'Andes Action' is on a mission to restore 1 million hectares of high Andean priority forests, working with hundreds of rural and indigenous communities to restore degraded watersheds, mainly for water security reasons.2. Regenerative Businesses: How can we effectively engage the private sector in Forest Landscapes Restoration and Regenerative Development? I support a new generation of 50+ purpose-driven companies with regenerative business models that are on a mission to regenerate natural, social and cultural capital. I do so by matchmaking with aligned investors seeking investments of 1-50 million USD; set up impact measurement systems that use regenerative thinking to evaluate performance; and work with businesses to adopt integrated landscapes approaches for maximum impact.3. Regenerative Landscapes Development: How can we integrate all the above to develop advanced landscape development models that spur regenerative impact at the bioregional scale? To respond to this, I'm working with a growing community of practice of some of the most advanced regeneration thinkers, business(wo)men, financiers, public actors and communities to forge multi-stakeholder partnerships in specific bioregions.Please reach out to me with your ideas on how to bring this to the next level!

Chief Executive OfficerGlobal Forest Generation Jan 2022 - PresentThe Plains, Va, UsFrom a startup to a leading restoration organization: through our first large-scale, multi-country forest ecosystems restoration initiative in the South American Andes #AccionAndina, we have demonstrated that kickstarting the type of new, additional, large scale initiative that will truly help us get back into the planetary boundaries we need for a healthy world is possible! We are showing that scaling up grassroots action is possible, mass human collaboration based on culture is key, restoration is a comprehensive socio-environmental undertaking (and not just tree planting) and that it will take decades and centuries to restore fully functioning ecosystems. We need your support, PM me for more! -
