Indigenous Peoples integrate cultural values into business, protecting 80% of global biodiversity through "green jobs." To foster an equitable, regenerative future, we must uplift Indigenous-led solutions and transform philanthropy, moving beyond colonial-capitalism.

This panel explores these strategies with Sikowis (Great Plains Action Society) and Dr. Nick Estes (The Red Nation), hosted by Alexis Bunten (Bioneers Indigeneity Program).

Last year, Dejah Powell founded Get Them to the Green (G2G) to foster environmental passion among Chicago youth, especially youth of color. G2G's first initiative was a summer camp, engaging 14 young people in environmental justice, sustainability, and food agriculture.

G2G has since partnered with Gardenneers to build a school garden at Powell’s elementary school, providing hands-on outdoor education. The organization also conducts environmental education workshops throughout the city.

Now a Cornell senior, Powell believes understanding environmental problems is key to solving them. She hopes urban environmental education will improve eco-literacy and help under-resourced communities access vital local and global conversations.

The U.S. is a wealthy nation, not broke, yet its economy is fundamentally flawed. It generates excessive pollution and waste. Instead of investing in sustainable alternatives, we prop up this "dinosaur economy" with billions in taxpayer money.

The Story of Broke advocates for a crucial shift in government spending. It proposes redirecting funds towards clean, green solutions: renewable energy, safer materials, and zero waste. These investments promise jobs and a healthier environment, offering a better way to rebuild the American Dream.

Indigenous Peoples already lead in "green jobs," integrating cultural values and protecting 80% of global biodiversity. Transforming economies through Indigenous-led solutions requires uplifting these movements and stories, necessitating a shift in philanthropy and "impact investing" from privileged circles.

In this panel, Sikowis (Plains Cree/Saulteaux), Nick Estes (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe), and Alexis Bunten (Unangan/Yupik) explore colonial-capitalism. They discuss how Indigenous-led strategies offer a pathway toward an equitable and regenerative future.

CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce hosted an event highlighting the critical role of a circular European economy in meeting EU climate goals and showcasing the Taskforce's work, launched at COP26.

During the event, CLG Europe published its policy briefing, "Green Circularity: Advancing the EU’s climate goals through a Circular Economy," which outlines challenges and recommendations for policymakers to accelerate the circular transition. Read the full publication here.

The Taskforce unites businesses committed to sustainable materials, driving policy action and supporting EU decarbonization measures. While welcoming the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation, it emphasizes addressing broader challenges businesses face in achieving circularity.

MEPs Pascal Canfin (RENEW) and César Luena (S&D) co-hosted an event in the European Parliament, focusing on the EU Nature Restoration Law.

Businesses increasingly recognize their vital role in transitioning to a resilient, net-zero, nature-positive economy. They understand that nature restoration is key to EU resilience, offering significant socio-economic benefits, including sustainable jobs, recreation, and broader health improvements.

Organized by CLG Europe under the Green Growth Partnership, the event convened EU decision-makers, leading businesses, and NGOs. Discussions centered on how the Law addresses the dual climate and nature crisis, while also providing economic opportunities like high-quality jobs and new sector growth. Ursula Woodburn, Director of the European Corporate Leaders Group, moderated.

Can technology, despite its significant carbon footprint, neutralize its own impact? Anusha Sheth argues that while shifting to green energy is a start, it's not enough. She proposes that artificial intelligence can be a catalyst, enabling us to achieve not only carbon neutrality but also a carbon-negative future.
