Nature & Rights
Biodiversity, indigenous sovereignty, and the legal frameworks protecting them.
Nature is climate infrastructure — forests, oceans, and wetlands store carbon and buffer a warming world. Our nature desk covers biodiversity, the rights of ecosystems and indigenous communities, and the frontiers of ocean and forest protection, from coral bleaching to the High Seas Treaty. Protecting nature is not separate from climate action; it is climate action.
