As climate risks intensify across global agriculture, Bonsucro and partners are expanding the Climate Resilience Platform (CRP) to equip farmers with actionable, science-based tools. Through open-access collaboration with CGIAR, Better Cotton, and leading research organisations, the initiative empowers producers to anticipate climate impacts, strengthen livelihoods, and accelerate resilient, sustainable supply chains across the world.
IDH shares its top 10 lessons from convening landscape initiatives for the last 10 years. The results across a range of landscapes show that greater impact can be achieved together. The cost and risk sharing that landscape approaches allow makes them more relevant to agri-food businesses as physical supply risks from extreme weather increase.

This article follows a 2,700-kilometre motorhome journey to COP30, where Fundação Dom Cabral and partners used the road as a living climate laboratory. Crossing four biomes and nine cities, the team gathered real-world evidence on resilience, local innovation, and community risks, offering business and city leaders practical lessons for climate action and resilient development.
Written from a riverboat en route to COP30, this unique article explores how business leaders can draw practical, investable lessons from the Amazon. It urges companies to link emissions goals with local livelihoods, co-create with communities, and view nature as infrastructure. A powerful reminder that regeneration must be built from the ground up.
As world leaders gather at COP, Amanda Smith, Global Head of Social at Diageo, shares insights into Diageo and CARE’s shared ambition to build resilient supply chains by tackling gender inequality and climate vulnerability together.
As COP30 unfolds in Brazil, the world faces a pivotal moment. We have missed the 1.5°C target, and while the race to decarbonise is intensifying, emissions cuts alone will not create resilient economies or equitable livelihoods. The Partnership Collective argues that to truly move beyond net zero, we must redesign the systems that connect people, nature, and business so that all can thrive.
How can businesses meet growing demands for credible climate action? As COP30 nears, this article explores how robust sustainability systems—like those championed by ISEAL—are helping companies navigate Scope 3 emissions, build trust, and drive just transitions. Learn how standards, traceability, and inclusive frameworks are shaping a resilient and transparent global climate response.
As climate change intensifies, Shared Interest supports farmers in East Africa with fair finance and training to build local resilience. From vegetable producers in Rwanda to coffee growers in Uganda, the focus is on community-led adaptation and climate-smart farming. Putting people at the centre of climate action is key to sustainable, inclusive progress.
The human toll of climate impacts presents specific challenges for women workers and their communities, especially in climate-vulnerable countries. Climate action and investments must not only focus on mitigation but also address the unique impacts on women and the connection between workplace and community across issues like women’s health, violence, migration, forced labor, among others.
Agroecology is a powerful pathway to climate-resilient, sustainable food systems. Brenda Huerta of Fairtrade International explores how soil health, biodiversity, and farmer agency are interconnected, highlighting successful examples from banana cooperatives in Latin America. As COP30 approaches, she calls for bold investment in agroecology as a foundation for social justice, environmental regeneration, and resilient livelihoods.
How can we unlock climate finance for the world’s most fragile regions? Nuru is showing the way with a model that supports professional cooperatives to lead nature-based solutions. Backed by blended finance and delivering over 80% of carbon revenues to local communities, Nuru’s “resilience corridors” offer a blueprint for stability, sustainability, and shared prosperity.
