The message was clear: growing climate-resilient food takes time, care & risk. That work must be resourced.

Meanwhile, a community-owned fund is being built to generate ongoing dividends tied to care for the land.
This is justice-rooted climate finance, designed with the community, for the community - and it could be a replicable model for nature and climate funding around the world.

100 delegates joined us to discuss how carbon pricing in waste can work in practice.
Key takeaway:it only works if it is fair
Under Cap and Share, polluters pay and revenues go back to people as climate dividends and adaptation support.
Climate policy must return value to people
