Australia was not mentioned in ‘The End of Nature’, but 25 years later the author was very aware of the nation’s role in the politics and science of climate change.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face. While governments debate the future of coal-burning power stations, carbon dioxide continues to be released into the atmosphere. We need innovative strategies to capture it. Actively manufacturing minerals such as nesquehonite is one possible approach. It has applications in building and construction, and making it requires removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Australia’s rigorous regulatory framework that supports and controls the complementary health sector is regarded as gold standard. Run by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, it’s also why consumers here and in Asia are opting for regulated products they can place their trust in.

A new strategic research alliance between the CSIRO and Swisse will build a body of scientific evidence on complementary medicine and help revolutionise the flourishing industry sector.
