Advancing Nature 2050:
Conservation, Community, Climate

Thematic Areas

1. ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION

We champion nature-positive development by restoring ecosystems that underpin human well-being, biodiversity, and sustainable livelihoods. From forest regeneration and mangrove restoration to rewilding efforts and the creation of wildlife corridors, our work reconnects fragmented landscapes and revitalizes degraded environments.
Ecosystem restoration is central to climate adaptation and mitigation. It enhances carbon sequestration, regulates water cycles, and safeguards species and habitats. We support data-driven and digitally monitored restoration efforts that integrate Indigenous knowledge and community-led planning, ensuring that the social, cultural, and ecological dimensions of landscapes are equally addressed.

In alignment with next-generation climate goals (NDC 3.0), we advocate for the full integration of ecosystems and nature as essential components of national climate action plans, including their role in loss and damage responses and climate-resilient development strategies.

Key Focus Areas: Forest,  coastal & marine ecosystem  restoration, wildlife corridors and rewilding, nature-based solutions for biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and carbon, ecosystem monitoring and digital restoration tools, community-led land and seascape recovery.

2. CLIMATE RESILIENCE

Save the Earth International advances climate resilience through transformative, inclusive, and justice-based solutions that address both immediate climate shocks and long-term vulnerability. We work with frontline communities to co-create adaptation pathways rooted in local ownership, gender equity, and human rights.
Our work includes integrated early warning systems, clean energy transitions, climate-smart infrastructure, and blended climate finance models—ensuring both reduced risk exposure and inclusive economic opportunity. We are also pioneering innovations in green finance, including climate-smart crypto systems and green bonds, to mobilize investment for resilience at scale.

In alignment with next-generation climate goals (NDC3.0), the Sustainable Deevelopment Goals (SDGs) and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Goals (2050 Goals), we support countries and communities in developing and implementing transformational, economy-wide actions rooted in justice, science, and inclusivity. Our approach integrates:

• Nature-based solutions that deliver multiple benefits for adaptation, mitigation, and biodiversity.
• Clean energy transitions and climate-smart infrastructure that reduce vulnerability and carbon intensity.
• Safeguard mechanisms that uphold human rights, gender equity, and Indigenous knowledge systems.
• Climate finance innovation, including green bonds, climate-smart crypto systems, and blended finance models that crowd in public and private investment.
• Co-created adaptation pathways, especially with frontline and marginalized communities, ensuring equitable participation and local ownership.
• Data-driven and digital tools for climate monitoring and ecosystem recovery, supporting real-time decision-making.

Key Focus Areas: Early warning systems and disaster preparedness, clean energy transitions and climate-smart infrastructure, green and blended climate finance, climate justice and human rights safeguards, co-created adaptation plans with marginalized communities, climate data, analytics, and digital decision-support tools.

3. FOOD SYSTEMS TRANSFORMATION

We foster regenerative and climate-resilient food systems that empower communities, protect ecosystems, and advance sustainable development . Our approach bridges agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture, livestock, and circular economy models to address food insecurity, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, while turning climate risks into opportunities for innovation and local enterprise.

STEI transforms food systems through community-led regenerative practices, such as agroecology and agroforestry, that restore soil health and sequester carbon. We prioritize climate-adaptive livelihoods, equipping small-scale farmers, especially women, youth, and Indigenous communities, with tools for drought-resistant crops and aquaponics. Our inclusive value chains reduce post-harvest losses and strengthen market access for fair-trade products, while micro-insurance and blended finance mechanisms help communities weather shocks. Digital innovations, including AI advisories and blockchain traceability, optimize resource use and connect farmers to markets. Policy advocacy ensures land-rights reforms and nature-positive subsidies align with global goals like the SDGs, the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework, and next-generation climate agendas (NDC 3.0).

Key Focus Areas: Climate-resilient farming and aquapreneurship, circular food system, blue & green economy ,  and zero-waste processing, Gender-responsive agripreneurship and youth-led innovation, Micro-insurance and blended finance for smallholders,  Digital tools for supply chain transparency and soil health monitoring, Policy frameworks for equitable food sovereignty , local entrepreneurship.

4. ONE HEALTH

We apply the One Health approach as an integrated framework to protect the health of people, animals, and ecosystems in a rapidly changing climate. Recognizing the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, zoonotic diseases, and public health, we work across sectors to build resilient, inclusive systems that prevent future health crises and strengthen community well-being.

Save the Earth International reduces zoonotic spillover risks through community-led wildlife monitoring and habitat protection, especially in deforestation hotspots and degraded ecosystems. We promote climate-resilient WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) infrastructure for vulnerable and marginalized populations, while restoring ecosystems—such as wetlands and urban green spaces—that buffer against vector-borne diseases.

Using AI-enabled early warning systems, we support real-time detection of health and climate threats. Our integrated policy approach brings together public health, agriculture, and environmental governance to address root causes and reduce system fragmentation. We empower frontline health workers, Indigenous leaders, and youth through capacity building in disease surveillance, biodiversity stewardship, and climate-related health adaptation.
Our One Health work is fully aligned with the WHO Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action and contributes directly to the SDGs, building systemic resilience in the face of biodiversity loss, pandemics, and climate change.

Key Focus Areas: Zoonotic disease prevention and surveillance, climate-resilient health and WASH systems, urban and ecological restoration for vector control, cross-sector One Health policy integration, community stewardship and health equity, digital tools for outbreak prediction and monitoring.
