Last week our Future Leaders spoke with Florent Kaiser ⭐ Kaiser recounted a surreal moment from The Earthshot Prize awards in Singapore: standing on stage between Hollywood royalty, Cate Blanchett and actual royalty, Prince William. Acción Andina, Kaiser co-leads with Constantino Aucca, was awarded an Earthshot Prize in 2023 for its ambitious mission to protect and restore one million hectares of high Andean native forest 🌲🏔️ Kaiser is also CEO of the Global Forest Generation which preserves forest ecosystems in South America, conserve water and biodiversity, fight climate change, and diminish poverty. He shared his inspiring story with our Future Leaders, and other interns working across University of Cambridge this summer, highlighting the impact which young people can have on the direction of climate action 🌱 His advice to aspiring environmentalists: "Act now. We have the opportunity to make huge systems change if we act now."

Let's come together to support efforts to save our planet’s glacial history. These icy time capsules hold incredible stories and cultural heritage we can't afford to lose. By taking action now, we can protect them for future generations. #ClimateAction #SaveOurGlaciers #IceMemory #GlobalWarming #CulturalHeritage #EnvironmentalProtection #GlobalForestGeneration Sources: bit.ly/4daNUxb, bit.ly/3LB7erj

Acción Andina is restoring Polylepis forests to secure water for millions in the Andes. Hear from co-leads Constantino Aucca Chutas and Florent Kaiser as they explain why water security is our top priority. Thanks to Ecologi | B Corp™ for this amazing video! #Restoration #WaterSecurity #Andes #Polylepis #EarthshotPrize #Ecologi
“Working with the local communities provides something unique.” 🙌 In March of this year some of our team embarked on a trip to Peru to visit our reforestation partners, Global Forest Generation, and their restoration initiative - Acción Andina 🌱 Acción Andina is an initiative being delivered across the Andes in South America by local partners to conserve and restore native Polylepis forests. It was co-founded by Global Forest Generation and ECOAN, and the initiative won an Earthshot Prize Winner in 2023 and was also announced as a United Nations World Restoration Flagship earlier this year. We’re very excited to release this video from the trip in which Constantino Aucca Chutas and Florent Kaiser, the co-leads of Acción Andina, explain the importance of working closely with local communities to ensure the success of restoration projects. It was a brilliant site visit which meant so much to our team. Keep your eyes peeled for further content from this trip, and in the meantime you can read more about this project on our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/esKjaKNN #ForOurPlanet #ClimateAction #ClimateSolutions #TreePlanting

On challenges youth activists face, "It's easy to not listen to the things that we're saying - the things that we're saying entail changing entire systems and we are comfortable in the systems we've created." Xiye Bastida told Bloomberg Green's Kira Bindrim at #BBGGreenFestival.

“Acción Andina will plant millions of native trees along the Andes to secure water, landscapes and protect ecosystems, biodiversity and culture,” says Aucca, whose restoration efforts saw him recognized in 2022 as a UNEP Champion of the Earth. “Local and native communities demand it, and the planet deserves it.” Check out this feature story from UN Environment Programme on the vital work Acción Andina is doing to restore the Andes! https://lnkd.in/d_4WJMAs
