Small-But-Mighty Delegation Carries the Regeneration International in Madrid
Our Madrid delegation carried the Regeneration International banner at the official COP25 event, participating in official events, representing Regeneration International at the 4 per 1000 Initiative meeting and strengthening our network and partnerships. Though our Madrid delegation was small, Precious Phiri, steering committee member and director of our work in Africa, said it generated “amazing synergy” and was able to have a presence at all the right events and to serve as a bridge between the meetings in Chile and those in Madrid.

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.
Madrid Will Now Host COP25. Here’s Why We’re Still Going to Chile.
Last week, Chile pulled out of hosting the United Nations COP25 climate conference, citing recent protests and civil unrest in Santiago where the summit was to be held December 2 - December 13. The global climate conference will take place instead in Madrid, on the same dates. Regeneration International launched in June 2015. In December 2015, we led our first delegation—nearly 60 people—to the COP21 conference in Paris.

The Inga Foundation: Changing Lives in a Revolutionary Way
Mike Hands of the Inga Foundation, a Regeneration International (RI) partner, works in Honduras with slash-and-burn farmers who average 20 acres (eight hectares) of land holdings. That’s considerably larger than most slash-and-burn farms, which Mike estimates are no bigger than five acres (two hectares).
Bernie Sanders’ Green New Deal is a Game-Changer for Food & Farming
This year will likely be remembered as the time when the U.S. and global grassroots finally began to acknowledge the terminal crisis posed by global warming.

Our job in 2019 and beyond is to reach out and educate our fellow Americans about the GND and the political revolution that must take place, beginning now.
