RE:TV champions the most inspiring innovations and ideas that point the way towards a sustainable future for all of us. RE:TV’s short documentaries highlight innovative solutions to the challenges of the climate crisis. A remote production team has worked since the summer of 2020 to make more than 70 films with local crews all over the world; exploring a wide range of themes from direct-air carbon

capture in British Columbia and sustainable aviation fuel in Illinois to regenerative agriculture in India and plastic waste recycling in Uganda. RE:TV has now generated over four million views across its website, social platforms and through distribution partnerships with Amazon Prime Video, Waterbear and Bloomberg and is keen to build on these foundations to increase the reach, ambition and impact of the films and other content it produces.

“All I would ask is that we act with urgency.”

There is nothing inherently wrong with our planet. As Jennifer Holmgren explains, we live in a wonderful place, but human activity has disrupted Earth’s natural systems.

We need to change everything – from the fuels that power our cars to the materials that make up our clothing. So how do we get there?

At RE:TV, we’ve produced hundreds of short films, covering everything from fusion to food waste. Our contributors may have diverse skills and perspectives, but all are working to reimagine the future.

Platforming them constantly teaches us that there is no silver bullet. Instead, we need a mosaic of insights, solutions, and actions to accelerate change.

Jennifer Holmgren is scaling one such solution. She is CEO of LanzaTech: a carbon recycling company that turns waste gases into sustainable products.

Jennifer urges us to waste nothing; even carbon emissions can be repurposed to create value.

As we work to build a better world, there’s another precious resource that none of us can afford to waste – time.

Up to 100,000 honeybees are living on a rooftop in the heart of Central London 🐝

Urban beekeeper Dale McCann manages two hives above Regent Street. His work is part of : an initiative bringing together some of London’s largest commercial property owners, including .

By reintroducing green spaces and encouraging wildlife, the collaboration is bringing biodiversity back to the city.

As Dale explains, despite the team’s initial concerns about pollution levels, the bees are “quite happily surviving” in their urban home.

Bees are nature’s main pollinators. Whether they live on city rooftops or further afield, they play a vital role in sustaining our lives on Earth.

Through a combination of green roofs, green walls, planters and pop-up spaces, Wild West End are creating a series of green stepping stones between the existing areas of surrounding parkland.

This green infrastructure doesn’t just provide habitats for wildlife; it also gives London’s human residents and visitors an opportunity to reconnect with nature.

Protecting our planet starts with better data 🌎📊

Elizabeth Goldman is Co-Director of WRI’s Global Forest Watch. As she explains, data is the foundation of good decision making – especially when it comes to solving urgent problems.

WRI is a global research organisation focused on three key areas: people, nature and climate. Working with partners ranging from governments to NGOs, they gather data that informs critical solutions.

Elizabeth points out that measuring the world is just part of the equation; it’s also important to share that information with the public.

Global Forest Watch collects the best available data about the world’s forests and makes it available online for free.

Corals and mangroves are vital ecosystems. We need to invest in them accordingly 🪸

Landolf Rhode-Barbarigos is an Associate Professor at University of Miami. As he explains, corals and mangroves dissipate the energy of waves, which in turn helps to protect our coastlines.

Any damage caused to these marine habitats also has a ripple effect. Water quality decreases. Shorelines erode. Even coastal real estate is devalued.

To address this issue, Landolf and his team have designed a solution that works with nature.

SEAHIVE is a hybrid reef that fuses nature and technology. Inspired by the shape and strength of beehives, the hexagonal structure protects baby mangroves and young coral as they grow.

Innovative technologies like SEAHIVE restore ecosystems and protect cities at the same time. By investing in nature, we can support the systems that support us in return.

The global food system is ripe for change. To fix it, we need to address what’s going to waste 🍌🥑

Around 30% of all food that’s produced is wasted. This happens across the value chain – from farms all the way to our fridges.

Food waste is a significant greenhouse gas emitter. When food ends up in landfill, it also squanders the resources that have gone into growing, transporting and storing it.

As Reniera O’Donnell points out, this is not just an environmental concern. When you consider that a portion of the global population don’t have enough to eat, food waste becomes a socioeconomic issue, too.

Reniera is a strategic advisor with a focus on systems-level change. Since 2019, she has been working to build a circular food economy in which nothing is wasted.

By transitioning away from a linear model to incorporate ingredients that are regenerative, low-impact or upcycled, the food industry could begin to actively regenerate nature.

Nature has a blueprint for sustainable design – we just haven’t been following it 🦋

For the last 200 years, humans have been creating technologies and systems that don’t always serve the natural world.

As Janine Benyus explains, by putting excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we have effectively “double-glazed our planet”. The consequences of this are beginning to catch up with us.

Janine is an innovative biologist. Through her work, she has popularised the concept of biomimicry: an approach to design that’s inspired by nature.

With over 3.8 billion years of evolution to draw from, there’s no shortage of possibilities.

A forest, for example, provides us with many benefits – cooling the air, building the soil, controlling pests, and cleaning water. These ecosystem services sustain life.

This Earth Day, we’re reflecting on a question posed by Janine: “How can we return the favour?”

There’s more to a mushroom than meets the eye 🍄

Mushrooms are classified as fungi – meaning they’re neither animals nor plants. As Paul Gilligan explains, their unique properties give them “potential to change the world”.

Mycelium, the root structure of a fungus, is extraordinary in its own right. This underground network of thin threads can be harnessed to solve some of our greatest challenges.

Paul is Founder and CEO of the aptly named Magical Mushroom Company. The UK-based firm combine mycelium with agricultural by-products to grow sustainable materials.

Their Mushroom Packaging is biodigestible, which means it can be broken down by bacteria in the absence of oxygen. At scale this material, and others like it, could replace the need for single use plastics.

In the Maldives, nature isn’t just a source of beauty – it’s the foundation of an entire economy 🪸

The Republic of Maldives is an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Known for its striking beaches and marine ecosystems, it attracts visitors from around the world.

The tourism and hospitality industry supports many local people’s livelihoods. It can also play a direct role in protecting the natural resources that make the Maldives so unique.

As Johanna Leonhardt explains, the sector has an opportunity to align itself with conservation projects, from coral restoration to mangrove rehabilitation.

Johanna is the Director of Soneva Conservation & Sustainability Maldives (SCSM). This programme uses cutting-edge techniques to regenerate coral reefs at scale.

Protecting and restoring reef ecosystems safeguards the natural asset that tourism depends on, which leads to more revenue for the local economy 🌊

When one farmer learns how to restore their land with regenerative techniques, it's a solution. When the same farmer shares their knowledge with the wider community, it becomes a movement 🤝

Laraha Lemomo is one of fifty champion farmers in Esilalei village, Tanzania. He has worked with Justdiggit to learn regreening practices and apply them in the field.

As Laraha explains, nature-based solutions have helped him address what was once a significant challenge – lack of food for animals. After recovering lost trees with Kisiki Hai and planting grass seed banks, there is now more vegetation for cattle to graze on 🌾

These transformative skills are worth passing on.

Each champion farmer is responsible for sharing their knowledge with twenty-four others. Using this framework, Lahara's group have been able to reach 80% of the people who live in their village.

Justdiggit's programme doesn't just train local farmers to join the regreening movement; it empowers them to lead.

What happens when crops and trees grow side by side? 🫘🌳

Agroforestry is a regenerative farming system which produces food in and around forested areas. It can improve soil health and boost biodiversity – all while supporting local communities.

René Zamora-Cristales is a Professor in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University . As he explains, there is huge potential to convert cattle ranching lands into agroforestry systems.

Managing the land sustainably leads to less degradation and, in turn, healthier ecosystems.

For farmers, the benefits are also tangible. Under the shade of trees, crops like coffee grow slowly, leading to a richer flavour. These higher quality products can be sold at a higher price.

By working in harmony with nature, agroforestry strengthens both landscapes and livelihoods.
