This seminar features Tim Christophersen, Vice President for Climate Action at Salesforce and former Head of Nature for Climate at UNEP. Drawing from his book Generation Restoration and his leadership across global climate and restoration initiatives, Tim will discuss the role of ecological restoration in climate resilience, biodiversity recovery, and long‑term environmental governance.
The session will also include a short 10‑minute video on Acción Andina, a community‑led high‑Andean forest restoration initiative co‑founded by Global Forest Generation and ECOAN. The video, created in partnership with Salesforce, provides additional context on community‑driven restoration efforts and complements the seminar’s themes.
Following the presentation, students can participate in a guided discussion on restoration strategies, climate policy, and the challenges and opportunities of scaling community‑based environmental action.
