Just in time for EAT Lancet 2.0 to provide that nuance based on science: eatforum.org/eat-lancet/

Six principles to get natural climate solutions right in Africa - Nature Sustainability Nature-based climate solutions tend to overlook Africa’s diverse contexts and development priorities. We propose six guiding principles centred on the aspirations of African peoples, recognizing the cultural connection of communities to their environments and the role of biodiversity in sustaining livelihoods and identities.
