Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has said his Bezos Earth Fund will spend US $2 billion restoring landscapes and transforming food systems.

He told the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow that he had grasped nature's fragility when he travelled into space.

Entrepreneurs including Bezos have been criticised for spending money on trips into space instead of solving problems on Earth.

Speaking to the COP26 conference Bezos says in too many parts of the world, nature is already flipping from a carbon sink to a carbon source.

The Bezos Earth Fund plans to spend US$10 billion fighting climate change overall.
