In January 2025, EnviroSustain relaunched its Tackle the Crisis campaign to help shift the climate narrative from despair to action. With a world facing intensifying ecological and social challenges – from extreme weather to biodiversity loss – we wanted to spotlight the people, projects, and partnerships making a real difference. Our goal is to highlight hopeful, tangible examples of climate and nature solutions each month and inspire others to act.

A Fresh Start: Rebooting #TackleTheCrisis
We kicked off the campaign with a message of optimism. Despite the scale of the climate crisis, progress is happening — and by sharing positive stories of resilience, innovation, and regeneration, we can help reframe what’s possible.
Rewilding Oder Delta Podcast
We spotlighted the Rewild Podcast by Rewilding Oder Delta, where host James Shooter interviewed hydrobiologist Artur Furdyna. Artur shared how river restoration work near Goleniów, Poland, is helping ecosystems bounce back. This story emphasised the importance of community-led rewilding and science-based conservation.

Wildcats Return to Germany
In Baden-Württemberg, wildcats are making a comeback after a century of local extinction. Volunteers and conservationists are building Germany’s first “wildcat forest,” showing how carefully designed habitat restoration can reverse biodiversity loss and support shy, endangered species. Listen here.
Little Homes Initiative: Housing with Dignity
We highlighted Little Homes e.V., a German nonprofit offering tiny mobile shelters to individuals experiencing homelessness. These 3.2-square-metre homes provide security, privacy, and a pathway to stability, showing how small-scale solutions can spark major impact. Learn more about this inspiring project.

Up-Fuse: Fashioning a Circular Future
Cairo-based sustainable fashion brand Up-Fuse is turning plastic waste into durable, stylish bags and accessories. Their debut at SEEK Berlin in 2024 marked a milestone in circular fashion and highlighted how creativity and purpose can drive both environmental and social change.
World Rewilding Day: Partnerships in Action
To mark World Rewilding Day and the #RewildingTogether theme, we celebrated our partnership with Rewilding Europe. Since 2023, EnviroSustain has supported their work with funding and pro bono consultancy for real estate projects, proving that business can be a meaningful force for ecological recovery.

FabBRICK: Building from Fashion Waste
Paris-based startup FabBRICK is transforming textile waste into construction materials. With 40,000 eco-friendly bricks already produced, this initiative merges architecture, circular economy, and climate action, and is a powerful example of upcycling at scale.
Beavers Rewild the Oder Delta
Nature is leading the restoration in Poland’s Oder Delta. Beavers have helped rewet 80 hectares of peatland, improving biodiversity, water retention, and carbon storage. This collaborative project demonstrates how rewilding can benefit both ecosystems and agriculture. Read more here.
Each of these stories represents a different facet of environmental progress, from conservation and housing to fashion and real estate. But the common thread is clear: when people and nature work together, incredible things can happen.
We believe in the power of sharing solutions not just to celebrate what’s working, but to encourage others to take part. Whether you’re a business, policymaker, or individual, everyone has a role to play in tackling the crisis and building a more resilient, regenerative future.
