I think all of us should be ‘prisoners of hope’. We shouldn’t preach doom and gloom. We should be talking about what can be done to benefit all of us on this planet.
We need to link farmers and customers: “If a farmer knows his customer, he will never poison their food. If a customer knows the farmer growing his food, they won’t bargain with him.

How do we reconnect with nature? We do it by falling in love with what gives us life. That means restoring the water protectors which are the salmon runs
The relationship between people and nature must be one of interdependence, otherwise we risk overlooking something that Indigenous Peoples have known all along: that we are nature and nature is us, and failing to see this simple truth is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place.
If we fail to act now, future generations will ask why did we not act to save the earth given all the evidence we have?
We rely on nature for everything… it’s inherent to everything we are and do.

We spark and sustain conversations on sustainability. We are the world’s largest, science-led multi-sectoral platform, engaging year-round through global, regional and local events, national policy dialogues and online Digital Summits.
Evidence sits at the core of our platform. We produce, gather and disseminate diverse types of knowledge —scientific, traditional, practical — with the aim to facilitate co-learning and create impact across our five main research themes.
