Makers</A> campaign has been launched, designed to
spotlight and scale innovative climate actions
from diverse leaders and innovators worldwide.
Unveiled by UN Climate Change High-Level Champion
for COP 29, Nigar Arpadarai, the campaign
highlights tangible solutions from social
entrepreneurs, community leaders, and startups
across industries and regions.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">From social entrepreneurs,
to community leaders, to startups, Impact Makers
will showcase a range of impactful projects -
proving that reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
helping people adapt to the realities of climate
change is possible and change is already underway
at speed and scale. Up to 50 Impact Makers will be
profiled at Climate Week New York City, at COP 29
in Azerbaijan, and online, focusing on key areas
such as energy, transport, land use, oceans,
water, and human settlements.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>

Maker nominations will be put forward by a diverse
Steering Committee composed of expert
international research institutes, climate
resilience networks, social impact organizations
and communications platforms. Impact Makers will
be recommended for their innovation,
resourcefulness and communications skills, as well
as the impact and scalability of their
initiative.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Anyone is encouraged to
share a ‘before and after’ of a compelling climate
action initiative on social media with the hashtag
#COP29ImpactMakers, showing through photos or
video how the initiative started, how it’s going
and what the nominated Impact Maker did to drive
effective climate action in their company,
community, or city. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Arpadarai emphasised,
“Climate change is a global challenge, but it also
presents an opportunity to create a fairer world.
Through Impact Makers, I want to showcase
inspiring stories and encourage collective action
for the common good.” </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">The campaign is underway
and the first Impact Makers will be profiled on
September 23 at Climate Week NYC.</P>

sets out to not only highlight the vital role of
Indigenous Communities in nature-based climate
solutions, but also seeks to address the financial
barriers they face. By compiling comprehensive
data on Indigenous climate initiatives, the Study
aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of
Indigenous knowledge and approaches - and advocate
for direct access to climate finance. It will help
design mechanisms that channel funds directly to
Indigenous communities, bypassing intermediaries,
ensuring that they have control over how resources
are used. By promoting financial instruments
tailored to Indigenous needs, ensuring equitable,
culturally appropriate, and sustainable funding
models, the Study should play a key role in
supporting Indigenous leadership, while
safeguarding their rights, customs and
knowledge.</SPAN></P>

align=justify>McCain, a global leader in frozen
potato products, has initiated an ambitious
project to roll out regenerative agricultural
practices across its potato acreage in France. The
project aims to promote the transition towards
regenerative agriculture practices by creating a
network of farms in transition, leveraging pilot
farms’ practices, and using soil health
specialists to revamp the agricultural processes
and protocols used by farmers growing crops for
McCain.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"

urgent challenges of climate variability and
rising input costs that potato growers face today.
McCain is a member of the One Planet Business for
Biodiversity (OP2B) coalition, a Race to

protect and restore cultivated and natural
biodiversity within agricultural value chains in
food, beverages, textiles and cosmetics through
regenerative agriculture.</P>
