At Biodiversity for a Livable Climate, we are hosting our third Nature's Solutions as National Policy event, Code Red at Glasgow: What Did They Miss?, to address where grassroots movements to protect and restore ecosystems factor into global plans for climate action. This Saturday November 20th from 10 am - 12 pm ET, we will welcome Andrew Revkin, Joseph Michael Hunt, and Dee Woods onto a panel to reflect on the Glasgow COP26 summit and address missing pieces from those talks and their outcomes. 

 

Introducing Dee Woods, community advocate for food justice at the Land Workers Alliance, a member organization of La Via Campesina. Dee and colleagues were key organizers of actions and policy proposals at COP 26 that impact small farmers in Europe and globally.

Dee Woods is a food and farming advocate and founder of Granville Community Kitchen in London. She champions good food for all and a more just and equitable food and farming system, working as Food Justice Policy Coordinator for the Land Workers' Alliance. She took part in the Land Workers' Alliance and La Via Campesina delegation to COP26 both as an accredited delegate and in social movement spaces 'outside’. Fresh from the frontlines of the Glasgow summit, Dee will be joining us to share insights on that experience and where the work of community driven efforts for food sovereignty and justice continues from here. 

 

Read Dee's interview on women's empowerment and food justice, check out an episode of the Hunger for Justice series she did on food sovereignty, and learn more about the Land Workers' Alliance and La Via Campesina and their mission to promote food sovereignty, agroecology, and social justice and dignity within and beyond their network of 200 million farmers worldwide.
