Self Determination
By radically listening to — and investing in — the knowledge and expertise of Indigenous peoples and local communities, we will have a significant impact on climate stabilization and reverse nature’s collapse.
The Global Partnership
In coalition, Pawanka Fund, Woodwell Climate Research Center and Health In Harmony are working alongside Indigenous peoples and local communities by investing in their solutions and using data to protect 20 million hectares of tropical rainforests by 2030. We are actively seeking to expand this partnership with more institutions.
