The global food system generates 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, largely from production. Conventional rice production, a staple for over half the world, alone generates emissions equivalent to global aviation. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) offers an agroecological solution.

SRI employs simple interventions to significantly reduce water use, methane, and chemicals, while boosting yields and cutting labor. Currently 4% of rice production, scaling SRI to 25% could reduce emissions equivalent to India's total output.

What's your wish for COP27?

The Paris Agreement committed wealthy nations to provide $100 billion annually for vulnerable countries' decarbonization and adaptation. Despite re-affirmation at COP26, this crucial funding has not been delivered.

This raises a critical question for COP27: what steps are needed to ensure sustainable finance finally flows?

Horseshoe crabs, ancient survivors for half a billion years, are crucial to our ecosystem. Their annual egg deposits along the Atlantic Coast provide vital food for endangered species like red knots, fueling their 9,500-mile migration. The Center for Biological Diversity secured protection for these shorebirds in 2014.

Now, a commission proposes increasing commercial horseshoe crab harvest limits, including females. We oppose this. These creatures support countless species; we cannot let them disappear.

The Endangered Species Mural project in Tulsa, by artist Roger Peet, features the American burying beetle. These unique insects are efficient recyclers, known for burying small animal carcasses to feed their larvae. Once common, they are now rare. The Center for Biological Diversity works to prevent their extinction. Learn more about American burying beetles here and the Mural Project here.
