REPAIR the disrupted carbon cycle by accelerating and bringing to scale climate-smart agriculture practices that draw down excess carbon from the atmosphere.
PROTECT vulnerable populations from extreme weather and other climate impacts by deploying bold, community-led solutions rooted in climate justice.
