Each episode of Roots of Resilience features voices, stories, experiences, and policy recommendations from the groups and communities defending the rights of women and Indigenous peoples and local communities, upholding and elevating gender-just, rights-based, socially equitable, and real solutions to biodiversity loss, deforestation and climate change.
