We felt like things were often too complex and big scale when it came to addressing ones environmental footprint and reducing harm to natural ecosystems. Through regional collaboration and international expeditions, we offer simple opportunities to develop more responsibly within our businesses, lifestyles and schools. Accelerating environmental social governance, trust-worthy impact and a deep connection to wild areas.
We proved you can survive in Antarctic conditions for 60 days using only renewable energy.
To launch ClimateForce, founder Barney Swan and the SPEC team successfully skied to the South Geographic Pole over 60 days and 1000km. Their mission to conduct a sledge hauling expedition entirely on renewable energy was an extraordinary success. The net-positive journey demonstrated a NASA designed solar ice-melter, hydro flasks and biofuels robust enough to work in one of the world’s harshest environments. Echoing the message that if we can make efforts in Antarctica, we can develop more sustainably all around the globe.

Working together, ClimateForce pilot model Tropical ReGen will restore 450 acres of degraded land within the world heritage listed Wet Tropics Management Area. The revitalization of this site will enhance one of the most diverse natural environments on earth and will be a blueprint for land management in tropical regions globally. Tropical ReGen will boost environmental, social and economic resilience with positive storytelling and inclusive community development. This project relies on support from a consortium of proactive individuals and businesses who are invested in designing a sustainable future.
By leveraging best-practice restoration methods, Tropical Regen will preserve endemic species, draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide and enrich the indigenous habitat of Far North Queensland. The model will engage local, national and international visitors with an engaging opportunity to protect the environment. Benefiting community members through steady employment, Tropical Regen will encourage positive eco- tourism and First Nation Ranger opportunities. The location will offer an off-grid Electric Vehicle charging site on site, with the ambition to be powered 100% off clean-energy.
