Planet Changers Live
Planet Changers Live is EcoForce Global’s signature conversation series featuring the world’s most inspiring environmental thinkers, innovators, and doers. Each session brings together voices from across the planet who are regenerating landscapes, restoring oceans, rebuilding ecosystems, and reshaping the future of climate action.
These live, interactive Zoom events give our community direct access to farmers, scientists, activists, entrepreneurs, and everyday heroes who are changing the Earth—one action, one idea, one solution at a time.
Planet Changers Live is more than a conversation.
It’s a global movement of people who believe in restoring the planet and who show up each week to learn, connect, and take meaningful action.
Topic:The Soil Solution: How Regenerating Land Can Reverse Climate Change Faster Than We Think
Guest Speaker: André Leu
About the session:
Join us for a timely and deeply hopeful conversation with André Leu, one of the world’s leading advocates for regenerative and organic agriculture. In this session, The Soil Solution: How Regenerating Land Can Reverse Climate Change Faster Than We Think, André will challenge the idea that climate action is only about reducing emissions and instead show why restoring soil and landscapes is one of the fastest, most practical solutions available to us today.
André will explain why healthy soil is one of the world’s largest carbon sinks and how regenerative farming practices restore water cycles, rebuild biodiversity, and naturally cool the planet. Drawing on global research and real-world examples, he will share compelling evidence that organic and regenerative systems can repair ecosystems while also improving food security, farm resilience, and community wellbeing.
This session will also focus on action. André will outline practical steps farmers, landholders, communities, and everyday citizens can take right now to support regeneration, showing how degraded land can be transformed into thriving, productive landscapes in just a few seasons. Aligned closely with the themes explored by Rob de Laet, this conversation reinforces EcoForce Global’s position as a thought and action leader in nature-based solutions that work with the Earth, not against it.
Topic:Regenerating the Ocean: How Marine Permaculture Can Help Cool the Planet
Guest Speaker: Brian von Herzon
About the session:
Join us for a powerful PlanetChangers Live conversation with Brian von Herzen, Executive Director of The Climate Foundation, as we explore “Regenerating the Ocean: How Marine Permaculture Can Help Cool the Planet.” This session dives into one of the most promising nature-based climate solutions emerging today: restoring deep-water kelp forests at scale.
Brian will explain how marine permaculture systems can revive depleted fisheries, regenerate marine biodiversity, and strengthen coastal economies while accelerating planetary cooling. By restoring underwater kelp forests some of the fastest-growing ecosystems on Earth these systems enhance carbon drawdown, rebuild food chains, and improve ocean resilience in the face of warming seas.
This session focuses on real-world solutions already being tested and deployed globally. Attendees will gain insight into how ocean regeneration can be scaled, why kelp plays such a critical role in climate balance, and how healing our oceans offers hope not only for marine life, but for communities, food security, and the long-term health of the planet.
