Paul Hawken's "Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation" proposes a holistic approach to solving the climate crisis. This framework suggests that regeneration—restoring ecosystems, communities, and planetary health—can heal a "broken world."
The book advocates for placing life and human connection at the center of decision-making to achieve this goal, aiming to resolve the climate crisis within one generation.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg challenged world leaders at the Youth4Climate summit, criticizing their unfulfilled promises regarding the climate emergency. She dismissed their rhetoric as "blah, blah, blah," highlighting a lack of genuine action.
Thunberg called for constructive dialogue and urged media to prioritize reporting on politicians' deeds rather than their words. Her speech underscored the urgent need for tangible progress over mere platitudes.
Elder Dave Courchene (Nii Gaani Aki Inini – Leading Earth Man) presented "The Hope for Humanity – Preparing for a New Earth" at a 2018 meeting in Winnipeg. He emphasized that separateness and materialism contribute to a society plagued by fear, anger, and depression.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer multiple benefits for business, nature, and people, yet their adoption by companies to meet climate goals and mitigate risks remains limited. Increased corporate engagement across value chains is crucial for achieving a net-zero, nature-positive world.
CISL acknowledges the challenges companies face in adopting NbS, particularly in quantifying benefits for initial projects like regenerative agriculture. To address this, CISL, with support from the We Mean Business Coalition, launched a diagnostic tool in March 2022 to help unlock NbS investments within value chains.
An upcoming webinar, part of CISL’s project to support business to #GetNBSready, will explore progress on nature-positive ambitions, discuss implementation challenges, and demonstrate how this tool can assist companies.
