Issue 07: Beyond the Carbon Fixation : Pathways to Regenerative Futures
Beyond the Carbon Fixation: Pathways to Regenerative Futures This research sets out with the intention of finding pathways to liberate land, waters, ecosystems, and communities from the enclosures of capitalism and colonialism. Beyond the carbon-centered approaches to the climate crisis limited by reductionist metrics and market-driven solutions are alternate pathways already embodied by living examples. These pathways —rooted in justice, solidarity, community stewardship, regenerative economies, and shifts towards more ecological consciousness—when interwoven, can serve as a navigational tool for systems change.

Issue 06: The Carbon Fixation: How Philanthropy and Aid Miss the Real Crisis
This report challenges the dominant approaches in climate philanthropy and climate aid, which are heavily focused on technological solutions and market-driven strategies that prioritize economic growth and measurable outcomes. While these models aim to reduce carbon emissions, they often ignore the root causes of climate change, such as global inequality, resource extraction, and overconsumption, all while reflecting Northern-centric interests. By critiquing this technocratic, top-down approach, the report advocates for a shift toward more inclusive, community-driven solutions that prioritize justice, equity, and long-term sustainability. It calls for a reimagining of climate finance to address both environmental and social justice in the fight against the climate crisis.
