Brendan is a co-founder and director of several leading-edge organisations working across sustainable development, food systems and ecological restoration. A growing focus of his work is on carbon drawdown: developing and scaling practical ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere while restoring landscapes, improving biodiversity and strengthening ecological resilience. His broader work is focused on reducing emissions, strengthening climate resilience and developing practical responses to the environmental challenges ahead.

We already have the tools and technologies to design and build energy efficient houses, neighbourhoods and indeed whole cities that are net zero carbon, fossil fuel free, with a fraction of the running costs of current practice. The modern well designed community can also be a clean energy power station for surrounding neighbourhoods. If we push hard, this can happen very quickly.
