This discussion focuses on women's economic empowerment in the Pacific, featuring Amy Luinstra (International Finance Corporation), Joanne Crawford (International Women's Development Agency), and Amanda Donigi (Stella Magazine, PNG). Luinstra is involved with Papua New Guinea's Business Coalition for Women, the Pacific's first organization of its kind.

Birds, our feathered relatives, provide valuable insights into these principles. Join the conversation.

Our panelists are Aimee Roberson (Cultural Survival Executive Director), Ruben Flores (CS Bazaar Artist), Kim Tekwitha Spencer (CS Youth Fellow), and Israel Hernández López (KOEF Grant Partner). Interpretation is available: tinyurl.com/lifeways1120.

This CISL webinar explores the "Better business: Re-thinking business models for nature positive outcomes" report. Funded by UKRI and EU-Horizon as part of the A-Track project, it advocates for a systemic, transformational shift towards a nature-positive economy, moving beyond operational changes. The aim is to identify and scale profitable business models aligned with global nature goals.

Eliot Whittington discusses the work's broader policy context, while lead author Anum Sheikh presents key implications for business. Harry Greenfield details how businesses can engage in this three-year project through workshops, hackathons, and pilots, benefiting from CISL's innovation and advisory expertise.
