Regenerate and renew

Together we can take steps to shift from extraction of natural resources to regeneration by harnessing renewable resources and restoring natural ecosystems. We can build resilience in our communities through learning and skill sharing.

This category showcases businesses and organisations that are investing in renewable technologies, reducing emissions, growing community and sharing their knowledge about how to do so with others.

Every lesson shared, puzzle piece solved, and person connected brings us closer to resilience, regeneration and a more circular economy.
