Nature & biodiversity

Striving to protect and enhance nature and biodiversity through our campuses and technology

Preserving and restoring nature is critical both to mitigating climate change and adapting to it. By incorporating nature-based solutions such as native habitat enhancement and ecosystem protection, we can help reduce flood impacts, wildfires, and many other severe weather events that occur with increasing frequency.

Investing in nature is an investment in our workers, our products, and our communities. We want nature and people to flourish together in the communities that Google calls home, as well as the ecosystems where we source food for the hundreds of cafes we operate. Our billions of users also have the potential to have a positive impact on their environments if given the information and tools to do so.
