The NatureBacked Podcast

At NatureBacked, we talk with investors and entrepreneurs worldwide about climate change, covering everything from CO2 emissions to floods to guests’ personal choices for turning the world greener.

In this podcast, we bring you inspiring stories and insights from experts, innovators, and changemakers who are working to protect and restore our planet. Whether you are interested in wildlife, ecology, conservation, climate change, or green living, this podcast is for you.

NatureBacked was founded by Tarmo Virki, a passionate environmentalist who believes that nature has the solutions to many of the challenges we face today. In each episode, Tarmo or co-host Fiona Alston interviews a guest who shares their knowledge, experience, and vision on a specific topic related to nature and sustainability. You will learn about the latest research, innovations, and trends in the field, as well as practical tips on how to build and grow greentech startups.

NatureBacked is more than just a podcast. It is a community of like-minded people who care about the environment and want to make a positive impact.

By listening to this podcast, you will not only gain valuable information and inspiration but also join a movement of nature lovers 💚 who are committed to creating a better future for ourselves and the generations to come.
