For more than six decades, DRI has tackled global climate challenges. But fortifying communities against environmental devastation requires more than science — it demands diversity of thought and the collective resolve of leaders and subject matter experts across the full spectrum of public and private sectors. Our new global initiative, AWE+, will begin with a wildfire summit where delegates will grapple with difficult questions, share ideas, and form collaborative relationships that enable them to reduce risk and improve resilience to wildfire. https://lnkd.in/gpMPURvW

Our planet is currently in a very combustible place. The three Cs — Climate, Conflict, and COVID — cast a pall over the 2020s. And while COVID has abated, it revealed deep chasms in our society. Not only are people all over the world in great jeopardy, so is our collective wisdom. How do we protect that wisdom — wisdom that might hold the answers to the challenges we face — from the ravages of climate change and other factors? Blue Planet Alliance has partnered with the D.C.-based nonprofit Pyxera Global and New York-based Brooklyn Story Lab on a new initiative, the Partnership for Digital Justice, to ensure that the wisdom that could contain solutions to the greatest challenges we face — such as climate change — will be preserved.

This just in! The Biden-Harris Administration is investing $20M to help federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native corporations and villages access climate markets 👏 🌲 What does this mean? The investment will support projects that create economic opportunities for tribes to grow and manage forests with greater resilience to climate change. And when we create more healthy, resilient forests, we supercharge their ability to remove and store more carbon from the atmosphere. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3I2cq5O
