As the Paris Agreementʼs goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C slips further and further out of reach, one might imagine that there would be increasingly urgent calls from the media and from politicians to accelerate progress towards reducing emissions and achieving net zero by 2050. Instead, Trumpʼs leaving the Paris Agreement on his first day in office was obscured by countless other executive orders, and last month Kemi Badenoch was able to abandon net zero by 2050 as an official Tory party policy with little backlash.

By curating the very best environmental projects the world has to offer, Eden Foundation aims to restore trust in funding the restoration projects that we cannot afford to ignore, maximise the potential that every pound of private finance has to address these crucial issues, and do so without absolving ourselves of responsibility for past failings. These are our core principles, our Principles of Governance.
