Some scenes from a joyous day for the Mystic River Waterfront Vision process, which CBI is delighted to support:
🌊 Community-based visioning for the Mystic waterfront – Over 420 community members joined us at Mystic Waterfront Vision: Family Fun Day! 🌳 Residents from Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Malden, Chelsea, Everett, and Revere came to enjoy the day and brainstorm ideas for creating a better waterfront for everyone. They kayaked, played, mapped, painted, enjoyed live music and delicious food. 🎶🎨🚣🏿♀️ Huge thanks to the entire team for making this day a reality. It’s such a pleasure to work alongside each of you and see everyone’s work come together. Special shoutout to our friends who were an important part of this—from energizing the crowd with music and creating collective art to capturing memories with photos. The team is now busy inputting and analyzing all the valuable feedback gathered. Can’t wait to dive into the insights! 📖 Read more about our community-based visioning for the Mystic waterfront: https://lnkd.in/ev-5wF4t Consensus Building Institute, Stoss Landscape Urbanism, Mystic River Watershed Association

Consensus Building Institute reposted this
The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is undertaking a thoughtful process to incorporate indigenous rights more deeply in its farm standard. CBI (Consensus Building Institute) is very happy to be a partner in this important work. I recommend reading Froukje's blog on the effort to date!
🌎 Every August 9th we celebrate the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This day serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage, diverse traditions, and unique ways of life that Indigenous communities contribute to our world. 🌊 However, it is important to acknowledge the challenges these communities face, particularly regarding their rights and participation in decisions affecting their lands, seas, territories, and resources. The concept of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) is key to their decision-making power. Last August, we started a project to explore how FPIC can be integrated into a future version of the ASC Farm Standard, ensuring that Indigenous peoples have a voice and control over activities that impact their lives.

Learn about a new interactive tool that catalogues state renewable energy siting policies and permitting authorities across the United States:
Before a large-scale solar or wind project can be built in the U.S., its developers face the complicated process of siting and permitting. A recent report and interactive tool from Clean Air Task Force and Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), with support from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Berkeley Lab, and Consensus Building Institute catalogues state renewable energy siting policies and permitting authorities across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The report identifies which government entity or entities in each state or territory have the jurisdictional authority to make siting and permitting decisions about large-scale wind and solar projects. It's a powerful tool for policymakers, project developers, and community members looking to better understand the decision-making dynamics of siting and permitting large-scale renewable energy projects in their states and across the U.S. https://lnkd.in/eppg6Bbz

The Not Invisible Act Commission was created as part of an act, sponsored by then-Congresswoman Deborah Haaland, to address the epidemic of murdered, missing, and trafficked Indigenous people. Facilitated by a team assembled by CBI, the Commission brought together representatives of Tribal Nations; Tribal organizations; the U.S. Departments of the Interior, Justice, and Health and Human Services; and state and local law enforcement agencies and nonprofits. In our most recent issue of CBI Reports, find a reflection on the Commission by Lucy Moore, Nadine Tafoya, and Patrick Field: https://lnkd.in/eq6tKBM3
