Partnership Elements
Environmental Research
Climate change is a very important issue to both Earthwatch and Aviva, and because of this, Earthwatch and Aviva have expanded on their existing partnership through a new five year commitment to climate change research and community investment.
The specific research focus of this new phase in the partnership will be mangrove forests and their potential to make a significant contribution to carbon sequestration efforts, whilst at the same time providing important ecosystem and community services.
