The Climate Restorers is four hour-long films, which can be seen as parts, or episodes.

 

Part 1 - METHANE 

A rich overview of what climate restoration is, how it is being developed around the world, and the low-hanging fruit for immediate focus: methane - the most potent, risky, and short-lived greenhouse gas.  We travel between the melting permafrost, lakes and tunnels of Alaska to universities and shipping companies across Europe. A colorless, odorless gas may not sound like the stuff of great entertainment - but you might just be surprised.

 

Part 2 - BLUE CARBON

'Blue carbon' describes the carbon captured and moved by the world's oceans and coastal ecosystems. We look at the potential solutions of iron fertilization, seaweed permaculture and management, ocean restoration and coastal livelihoods - surveying people, projects and practices from the North and Salish Seas to the tropics of the Caribbean and Philippines.  Restoring the ocean is key to stabilizing our climate and planet.

 

Part 3 - THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT 

The construction industry is a huge carbon emitter. But what if buildings could be a big part of the solution, not the problem? We look at carbon-negative and -neutral buildings and settlements, through artificial limestone and organic plant- and algae-based technologies. We look at the fast-moving field of hemp manufacturing and construction to rock weathering, limestone substitutes, and ancient building practices and modern architecture in the hot deserts of Niger which bring cool relief to communities.

 

Part 4 - ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION

While Parts 1-3 describe Nature as the inspiration for technologies to accelerate climate solutions, Nature is so far still the only large-scale game in town for climate restoration. Nature has buffered us from climate destabilization for millennia.  This episode is a sweeping journey from the small scale of the soils under our feet to the global scale of ecosystem restoration and regenerative farming.  The changes we need to make in society to restore the climate are complex - but needed to avert our trajectory to a more stable future.
