Since 2005, Robert Vincin has been living in China as an invited foreign expert advising the Chinese government and industry in lowering mass volumes of CO₂e, halting and reversing desertification, and reparation of water resources. Robert’s background is in engineering and agriculture. Robert is a globally published writer of articles concerning climate change, carbon emissions, sustainable development, and business economics in an environmentally focused world. Far from being a greenie, Robert preaches sustainable development with an inter-mix between business economics and climate awareness.

 Robert often lectures with detailed evidence that, for billion of years, volcanoes emitted ‘nox & sox’ for living matter to sequester and breathe! Coal burning is a de-facto volcano and he feels his mission is to restart the Carbon Cycle with correct vegetation that yields secondary benefits, mass transformations by reversing desertification, water generation and waste cleansing. He highlights that the bulk of CO₂e emissions are from land use, and land use change since the industrial revolution.

He subscribes the only assets of mankind and the planet are; Soil, Water, Vegetation, and Atmosphere. These assets are on loan to us from the generations of tomorrow’s children, as well our actions of our guardianship by the historians of tomorrow. His work demonstrates the fix can actually make money for business and governments. The key starting point!

Since 2005, Robert has established a ground swell of interest and practical involvement across China’s three tiers of government and industry in general, on how to lower CO2e, while limiting the economic impact to organizations financial bottom line, as well as opening up the possibility of fiscal profits, increasing assets as well as the business opportunities arising from being seen as a global and corporate citizen.

His published paper, “The Missing Sink” is a paper on the missing carbon sinks in 2001, which influenced UNFCCC to modify Article 3-3 and 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol. He has also addressed inquires on solutions for managing water (surface and ground) across Australia. Robert’s paper, “There Was No River System” et al based upon 25 years of study of the hand written documents and visuals by the first European explorers Mitchell, Sturt and Oxley et al detail how future land and potable water should be managed.
