Kahea Pacheco (Kanaka ʻŌiwi) is a passionate advocate for Indigenous rights AND climate justice. She champions the concept of aloha 'āina (love of the land), believing that effective solutions to the climate crisis are rooted in time-tested Indigenous knowledge.

As Co-Executive Director at Women's Earth Alliance—a 19-year-old global initiative that empowers women to protect the environment—Kahea works to ensure a just AND thriving world. She notes that in 'Ōlelo Hawai'i, the word <'āina (land) also means "that which feeds us" AND was used by her ancestors to mean "family," reinforcing the view that the natural world is a living, nurturing member of our community.

The food industry significantly drives biodiversity loss and accounts for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Big Food Redesign Challenge envisions designing food systems that regenerate nature rather than harming it.

In a special episode of The Circular Economy Show, guest host Lucy Parker explores how learnings from the Challenge can create a food system better for people, nature, and climate. Featured speakers include Jonquil Hackenberg of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Wendy Schmidt of the [Schmidt Family Foundation](https://tsffoundation.org/) discussing philanthropy, and Michelin-starred chef Douglas McMaster of [Silo](https://www.silolondon.com/) on innovative approaches.

The Investment Leaders Group (ILG) and CISL have released "Understanding the climate performance of investment funds – Part 2: A universal temperature score method." This final publication in a two-part series, published July 29, 2021, is available here.

The report introduces a simple, transparent, and robust method to translate portfolio emissions into a Celsius temperature score. This metric helps investors understand their portfolio's alignment with the Paris Agreement, answering what global temperature increase would occur if the entire economy matched the portfolio's emissions intensity.
