Turning Tides | Regenerative Land, Food & Urban Systems

Turning Tides
Changing direction in ways that last

We envision a future in which land, food, and urban systems are governed responsibly, grounded in Indigenous rights, local knowledge, and equitable approaches to preparedness and resilience.

Our Focus

We partner with governments, researchers, and local leaders to turn ideas into demonstration projects and demonstration projects into systems change.

Community-led climate and adaptation planning
Regenerative food, water, and energy systems
Leadership and learning for resilient transitions
Partnership with Indigenous leaders and communities
Action to impact at the local, regional and global level
Develop technology use cases that supports sustainability

COP31 Climate Change Conference

We are working with partners on the road to COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, connecting local action to global climate commitments.

From the Ground Up: Regenerative Farming, Living Soils, and the Climate Intervention We Are Missing. In this white paper, we make the case for soil biology as a defined climate intervention that governments can fund, measure and scale.
Regenerative food, water, and energy systems. We connect soil health, water security and clean energy as one systems transition rather than three separate sectors. This links farm-level practice to national climate and food strategies.
Youth DeclarACTION on Zero Waste and Climate Action. Youth delegates from 25 countries adopted the DeclarACTION at the Zero Waste Forum in Istanbul, moving from requests to commitments they lead and deliver themselves. We are carrying it forward to COP31 with the Youth Zero Waste and Climate Action Network.
Communities leading climate action. We work with young people and women in the communities most affected by climate and waste pressures, so they shape decisions and carry out the work. Indigenous leaders are partners and knowledge holders who bring place-based knowledge into climate planning.
Climate-resilient, zero waste communities. This work began at the first Zero Waste Forum, grew through the second, and now continues to COP31. At each stage, neighbourhood waste and food systems connect to healthier living conditions and national climate plans.
