In this conversation, we explore the challenges faced by indigenous communities, who manage 80% of the world’s biodiversity but are increasingly threatened by deforestation and land degradation.Daniel shares insights on the pressing need for finance—estimated at $700 billion by 2030—and the critical importance of ensuring that this funding reaches local levels, where it can have a meaningful impact. We also discuss the tension between agricultural expansion - driven by rising demand for meat and land and biodiversity conservation.Additionally, we explore the role of value chains and the necessity of reconnecting local producers with the benefits derived from their resources. This episode shows the connection between finance, local communities, agricultural practices, and biodiversity, highlighting the need for integrated approaches to tackle these challenges effectively.If you enjoyed this episode, you should check out our previous discussion with Daniel, where he talked about substituting fossil-based products with wood.--This episode was presented and produced by ⁠⁠Anne-Sophie Garrigou⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Climate KIC⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is Europe’s leading climate innovation initiative, aiming to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon, climate-resilient society by supporting innovative solutions helping society mitigate and adapt to climate change. We want to hear from you!

Their initial goal was to use this land in the city center to create an urban garden and open it to all citizens. However, a simple soil analysis found a substantial amount of pollution left over from military use as well as citizen use (think fireworks!).  Their project suddenly took a completely different turn - how could they communicate about this pollution without alarming the neighbourhood? And would they still be able to open the space to the public? Through their project REMEDSPACE, Mathilde and her colleagues created workshops and discussions with a variety of stakeholders, from local governments to researchers and citizens, to talk about the situation and co-create the future of the space together.
