Barney Swan, CEO and Co-founder of ClimateForce, praised the role of technological solutions in preserving the world’s ecosystems, stating, “ClimateForce is a proving ground for technologies that protect biodiversity and help mitigate climate change. The generous support from NTT and NTT DATA will help us expand our initiative in the Daintree quickly and accelerate our goal of developing replicable models for regenerating ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, and fostering resilient local economies in other locations.”
NTT DATA’s involvement will include the application of AI, data gathering and analysis, as well as predictive analytics to assess and enhance organic reforestation methods. The cooperation will also see the tech giant contribute funds to assist ClimateForce in purchasing and protecting the regenerated land perpetually.

He said, “NTT DATA connected with Barney through our sponsorship of his father’s Undaunted: the South Pole 2023 expedition, which advocated for sustainable practices and long-term protections for Antarctica. We’re thrilled to extend this relationship and help ClimateForce with its mission in the tropics, which aligns perfectly with our vision for realizing a sustainable future.”
