Chris Desai envisions a future where conservation is no longer confined to the privileged few, but rather, is an inclusive effort that encompasses all walks of life. His pioneering charity, The Vayyu Foundation, aims to level the playing field by making conservation accessible to isolated and disadvantagedminorities and lower social class groups across the UK. Chris Desai's visionary projects, UOCEAN 2050 and UEARTH 2050, extend their community impact far and wide. Across 18 cities in the UK and 15 internationally, his initiatives are not only transforming the landscape of conservation and environmental awareness but also fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility.Through innovative strategies and initiatives, UOCEAN 2050 seeks to break down barriers and empower marginalized communities to actively participate in preserving the environment to stop river & ocean plastics with clean ups and river barriers.

In this talk, Chris will explain to us his incredible journey, hailing from humble beginnings, to becoming a global leader in sustainability and philanthropy. Learn about his groundbreaking initiatives!
