    Reframing Agriculture

    Food is essential for human survival. And yet, our current food system is horribly destructive to our planet. Learn about how we can reframe agriculture, return to Indigenous and traditional farming systems and connect with the soil, food and Earth.

    Restoring Coral

    Changing climate and human activities are killing coral reefs at unprecedented rates, and, according to recent IPCC reports, up to 90% of coral could be lost by 2050. Coral reef restoration is one solution that can help increase the resiliency of dying coral reefs, which support coastal and marine ecosystems, biodiversity and one of the world’s largest carbon sinks.

    Coral Vita is one organization leading the way in helping to counter the harmful impacts of dying coral reefs. Through land-based coral farming methods, such as microfragmentation and “assisted evolution,” Coral Vita accelerates coral growth and grows coral that is more resilient to climate change threats.

    Criminalizing Ecocide

    Our planet is experiencing an unprecedented rate of environmental destruction, which is threatening human and ecosystem health and intensifying climate risks. Harnessing law and legally protecting our planet is a vital climate solution to permanently protect ecosystems, keystone species and biodiversity.

    Ecocide is a term that can be defined as widespread, severe and systemic harm to nature. Learn more about why making ecocide illegal is a critical climate solution in Criminalizing Ecocide.

    Mitigating Methane

    Mitigating Methane is a short film that highlights a solution that reduces methane emissions in agriculture. The use of natural feed supplements for cows can help mitigate methane among the 1.5 billion existing cattle.

    Preserving Permafrost

    Permafrost is the ground that has remained frozen (for at least two consecutive years and up to hundreds of thousands of years), and the increasing global temperature is currently thawing our planet's permafrost.

    There are four main impacts of permafrost thaw: Additional carbon and methane gases are being released into our atmosphere that might lead to an unstoppable climate feedback loop; costly infrastructure is being damaged in communities built on permafrost; natural ecosystems are changing due to increases in landslides, erosion, etc.; and the risk of disease has increased from thawing ancient viruses and bacteria in the permafrost.

    Nikita Zimov and his father Sergei have found a solution that is delaying the thaw of permafrost and it is surprisingly simple: rewilding the Arctic. At their Pleistocene Park in Siberia, they are working diligently to reverse the climate crisis and have a solution that can preserve our planet.
