Today, there exists a cluster of intertwined problems that pose a historic threat to the stability of our ecosystems. The challenge is to properly identify the risks we are facing and use this knowledge to rethink how to supply resources for human development.
The Sahara Forest Project is a unique combination of proven environmental technologies, such as solar thermal power, modern biomass production and the Seawater Greenhouse. The resulting synergies enable restorative growth in the world's most arid regions.
Join Joakim Hauge, CEO and Director of the Sahara Forest Project, as he provides a look at the organization's ongoing projects and concrete examples of how SFP can address challenges in the sectors of energy, water, food and climate change through holistic solutions.
