BRAE IS A BOUTIQUE STRATEGY AND INNOVATION CONSULTANCY FOCUSSING ON CLIMATE AND NATURE

OUR MISSION IS TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK CREATED BY DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS AND TO REWIRE OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURES

Climate change and ecosystem collapse are defining our era. These colossal challenges test our collective resolve and ingenuity.

At BRAE we co-create bold, transformative ideas. We design and build futures in which humanity exists in equilibrium with the planet.

The compounding effects of humans exceeding planetary boundaries are becoming increasingly evident and alarming. By continuing to repeat destructive patterns that are leading to catastrophic environmental shifts, we jeopardize the Earth's resilience and capacity to support life.

Industrialised and resource intensive activities - including industrial farming, fossil fuel consumption, and deforestation - lead to cascading impacts that exacerbate climate change, degrading ecosystems, and diminish biodiversity.

We have to work hard now to secure a regenerative future. We need to restore, renew and revitalize resources, creating systems that are sustainable and can maintain the planet's health.

This means transitioning away from exploitation of the environment to developing a symbiotic relationship with it. Practices such as regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, and circularity are core to this.

At BRAE we believe that learning, innovation and collaboration will lead to a shift in values. By working together across sectors, industries and communities we can lay pathways that promote ecological balance and ensure the well-being of future generations.

Saving our planet is now a communications challenge. We know what we need to do, we just need the will

- Sir David Attenborough
Naturalist, Broadcaster, and Author
The world is a complex, interconnected, finite, ecological - social - psychological - economic system. We treat it as if it were not, as if it were divisible, separable, simple, and infinite. Our persistent, intractable global problems arise directly from this mismatch.

- Donella Meadows
Environmental scientist, educator, and writer
Listening to both sides of a story will convince you that there is more to a story than both sides

- Frank Tyger
Editorial Cartoonist, Columnist, and Humorist
If you do not understand your role in the problem, it is difficult to be part of the solution

- David Peter Stroh
Author, Founder, and Elegant Distiller of Complex Problems
Synthesis is about understanding the whole and the parts at the same time, along with the relationships and the connections that make up the dynamics of the whole.

- Leyla Acaroglu
Sustainability & circular economy provocateur, designer and sociologist
