ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Journey to Regeneration, Christopher Marquis speaks with Tim Christophersen, author of Generation Restoration and a leading voice in global ecosystem restoration. Drawing on more than two decades of experience across the European Commission, IUCN, the UN Environment Programme, and now Salesforce, Christophersen argues that the nature crisis is fundamentally a relationship crisis. The conversation explores why modern economies have treated nature as a commodity, how natural capital accounting and nature-related financial disclosures can help but remain insufficient, and why companies must move beyond carbon tunnel vision to understand their dependence on forests, water, biodiversity, and landscapes. Christophersen discusses Salesforce’s nature-positive strategy, the evolution of the Trillion Trees Initiative into the Forest Future Alliance, the role of the voluntary carbon market, and the need for public-private partnerships capable of restoring ecosystems at scale. At its core, the episode reframes regeneration as more than a technical agenda: it is a shift in perception, accountability, and reciprocity between business and the living systems on which it depends.
