On #GivingTuesday, we are in Madrid—and Chile.
Some members of our team are in Madrid this week, to help kick off the official COP25 global climate summit.
But many of us are in Santiago, Chile. Chile was supposed to host COP25—until mass protests, triggered by social and economic injustices, forced a last-minute change in venue.
Rather than abandon our South American allies in the Regeneration Movement, we chose to follow through with plans, initiated early in 2019, for strategy and training sessions to bring regenerative solutions to a country in crisis.
On the opening day of COP25, Politico, a U.S.-based media outlet, ran this headline: “Gloom Hangs Over COP25 Climate Summit.”
Politico blamed the cloud of gloom on society’s growing frustration over the failure of world leaders to address the climate emergency with the speed, and on the scale, required to avert a total collapse of Earth’s ecosystem—and the inevitable accompanying collapse of global societies.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We have all the tools we need to regenerate Earth’s natural carbon cycle. We just need to educate and mobilize millions of people around a global Regenerative Green New Deal—and do it now.
As Politico noted, there’s a glimmer of hope. Societies are rising up, all over the world, to call for an end to degenerative and extractive fossil fuel and agribusiness practices—and meaningful and widespread support for a Regenerative Revolution.
It’s happening in Mexico. It’s happening in the U.S. It’s happening in Iran. And it’s happening in Chile.
Our mission is to promote, advance and help rapidly scale up regenerative agriculture in these, and other parts of the world, as a solution to climate change, poverty, hunger and environmental and social injustices.
This past summer, the United Nations issued a report, by more than 100 experts from 52 countries, warning that if we don’t change the way we produce food and manage land, the global climate crisis will lead to a global food crisis.
We can do this. But we need your help.
Thank you for being part of this movement.
In gratitude,
