Great debate on carbon markets at Skoll World Forum - important to air the many good arguments against to ensure that any expansion of these markets is consistent with the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities #skollWF
Envision a world where women have equal footing - a world where the power offered by secure #LandRights is shared by women & men. A world where that power is used to address global challenges & strengthen communities.

Despite Indigenous & local communities safeguarding 80% of the world's biodiversity, they only receive 17% of global climate financing, says @RightsResources Fellow Paul De Wit. He argues for secure land tenure & greater direct access to climate funding. skoll.wf/3YPuW7N

i’ve been fussing about bogus “avoided boiling” carbon deals for years, to little effect. This excellent article nails the perverse incentives that drive bogus carbon deals. Every bogus deal undermines every legit deal. zeit.de/wirtschaft/2023-01/c…

Most of the world’s tropical forests, peatlands, and mangroves – carbon-dense ecosystems that account for 80% of global biodiversity – are found on indigenous lands. This is no accident...

Secure women’s rights to land and other property protects them from experiencing domestic or gender-based violence. We need to rally together, and have this right recognized across the country! #Stand4HerLand #WomenLandRightsNow

#COP15 began this week in #Montreal🇨🇦! At the center of negotiations to tackle the #BiodiversityCrisis🐝🌿 is the 30x30 initiative, which seeks to designate 30% of land and oceans as protected areas. The framework must respect Indigenous Peoples' #LandRights. Find out why below👇
