Our Work: Bridging the Gap Between Climate and Nature Dialogues, Driving a Unified Approach to Environmental Challenges

We are crafting narratives that resonate with both climate and nature audiences, as well as those already aware of their deep interconnections. Strategically sequencing our efforts on the increasing overlap between nature and climate is key to maximizing our impact. We do this by supporting synergies between climate and nature stakeholders and creating awareness and urgency through data-driven tools and materials to catalyze action to stop fossil fuel and industrial expansion in key ecosystems. 

Future directions: Working to create political capital to support climate and nature policy

Earth Insight advances diplomatic engagement at the ministerial level and with international bodies to support climate and nature policy outcomes at the national and international level, creating political capital outside the Conventions to help land solutions within them. Future directions include

  • Quantifying climate emissions connected to fossil fuel extraction scenarios in varying regions in partnership with Climate Interactive
  • Continued work mapping/analyzing threats to key ecosystems
  • Supporting and advancing key solutions (Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF), community led conservation efforts, etc.)
  • Mapping and analyzing energy transition threats to forests and climate
