This British Harry Thinks Nature is Serious Business

Send us a text

Today we cross the pond and speak with Harry Wright, Founder of Bright Tide, a UK-based consultancy helping businesses achieve their milestones and sustainability goals through hackathons, accelerator programs, and advisement. 

Harry is particularly interested in fostering the nascent blue carbon market where carbon sequestration can be much more impactful, but where it’s notoriously hard to measure. His current accelerator cohort is focusing on cracking that nut.

In this episodes we hear:

• Why Harry left the practice of law to focus on nature positive business 
• How policy for the climate and impact business is evolving in the UK faced with BREXIT, a new Prime Minister and a new Head of State
• What is Natural Capital 
• How nature can bounce back if we let it 
• How Harry plans on accelerating the blue carbon agenda in the UK and beyond

In the short time since he left his law practice to focus on Bright Tide, Harry has helped dozens of startups get to the next level and advised many established corporates on how to be pro-nature and truly sustainable. His is also a story of personal drive to make the planet a happier one.
