Join YESI for a screening of the documentary The Climate Restorers, including a presentation from the director John Bower

The series 'The Climate Restorers (https://www.theclimaterestorers.com/)' focuses on Nature as the inspiration for technologies to accelerate climate solutions - and yet Nature itself remains so far the only large-scale game in town for climate restoration. Nature has buffered us from climate destabilization for nearly twelve millennia. The 'Ecosystem Restoration' 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 and our mindsets to restore the climate are complex - but essential if we're to avert our trajectory to a more stable future.

The Climate Restorers (https://www.theclimaterestorers.com/screenings) series (2025), narrated by actor Peter Coyote, is part of John's work with Prof Phoebe Barnard writing/directing documentaries on our social and environmental crossroads, and opportunities to resolve them.
