He is currently Chair of the Board of the Global EverGreening Alliance, with 95 member organizations that are collaborating to implement massive-scale programs on land restoration in the developing world. He leads the Alliance’s Campaign to EverGreen the Earth. The Campaign advocates for achieving the goal to drawdown 20 billion tons of CO2 annually from the atmosphere through evergreening practices that also enhance biodiversity and improve livelihoods in the tropics.

He then served as Drylands Ambassador for the UN Convention to Combat Desertification from 2011 to 2018, emphasizing the role of agroforestry, evergreen agriculture and landcare as critical to sustainable land management. He is also a member of the Board of Global Landcare, a worldwide effort to support grassroots community-based natural resource management. He is currently co-leading an effort to secure a global pledge among nations to restore a safe climate by accelerating carbon removals.
