Nature's Solutions as National Policy Conference

Biodiversity for a Livable Climate welcomes Walter Jehne, Vijay Kumar, and Rep. Chellie Pingree to present on and discuss building climate policy around nature's solutions

This Saturday, June 5th, join us at Biodiversity for a Livable Climate for a virtual mini-conference exploring how we can leverage nature’s solutions to shape policy on climate action and resilience. This is the first in a series of mini-conferences on nature’s solutions as national policy, bringing together global experts in soil, water and biodiversity regeneration with environmental advocates.

Walter Jehne is an internationally acclaimed soils scientist, former CSIRO Climate Scientist and Microbiologist, and founder of Healthy Soils Australia.

Vijay Kumar is the government advisor for the Andhra Pradesh Community Managed Natural Farming Movement and Co-Vice Chairman of Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (a company for farmers’ empowerment set up by the state government of Andhra Pradesh, India), and a member of the UN Food Systems Champions Network. 

Rep. Chellie Pingree is an organic farmer, four-term Maine State Senator, and now US Congresswoman from Maine’s 1st Congressional District, who serves on the House Agriculture Committee, promoting “federal policy to better support the diverse range of American agriculture- including sustainable, organic, and locally focused farming.”

Join these speakers to explore how citizens and governments can collaborate to realize the goals of ecosystem restoration and meaningful climate action. More info and registration at the link!
