Sharing a passion for natural infrastructure as a viable way to increase coastal and climate change resilience, The Nature Conservancy and Jacobs collaborate on the Pensacola East Bay Oyster Habitat Restoration Project.
Jacobs is helping Mount Isa City Council in northwest Queensland realize its smart water management vision by facilitating the implementation of its smart water meter program.
Jacobs has pledged to Get Nature Positive and work towards halting and reversing the decline of nature by 2030, a target considered crucial in achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Aligned with COP26 ambitions, business leaders will be joining forces to create a global goal for nature.
