Nature's Odyssey
When you think of climate technology, where does your mind go? Perhaps an experimental new pet project from Elon Musk, or an innovative bio-tech start-up.

But – more than any form of technology that mankind has at its disposal – natural spaces are some of the most effective tools we have for drawing carbon from the atmosphere.

Join Sky Zero and WWF at the Glasgow Science Centre during COP26 to explore this cutting-edge climate technology.
In 2009 we launched Sky Rainforest Rescue, an initiative to protect the Brazilian Amazon and support local communities to make a sustainable living from the forest. Over a six year period we raised £9 million to protect one billion trees in the Amazon, and raised the awareness of 7.3 million people in the UK and Ireland, increasing their understanding of deforestation and climate change.

A partnership for change
Sky and WWF joined forces in 2009 with a mission to tackle some of the world’s most pressing environmental issues. From tackling devastating deforestation in the Amazon, to restoring and protecting ocean habitats and fighting the climate emergency.

In February 2020, Sky set its ambition to be net zero carbon by 2030, two decades ahead of government legislation. Through our partnership, WWF UK and Sky Zero will inspire millions to #GoZero and empower people to build a better world.
From 2017 the Sky Ocean Rescue and WWF UK partnership helped safeguard some of Europe’s most precious ocean habitats and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Including the creation of a new tool to assess and improve the management effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas and tagging basking sharks in West Scotland to inform the case for a new MPA for these gentle giants.

It’s not technology we need to wait 20 years for, it’s not an experimental project, never been done before, that may not work, and we have it right here in the UK.
It’s nature.

The Sky Zero and WWF seagrass project is expanding to other parts of the UK with Sky Zero committing to plant an one million extra carbon-capturing seagrasses in the South of England, contributing to a new meadow over 30,000 square metres in size. And this is just the beginning.
