The executive summary argues that strengthening legal forest rights for Indigenous Peoples and local communities is a vital tool for mitigating climate change. It finds that forests under strong legal recognition and government protection experience significantly lower deforestation rates than those without such protections. The document emphasizes that legal rights alone are insufficient if governments undermine them through the allocation of resource concessions or failure to prevent illegal encroachments.

The document examines the vulnerability of coffee cultivation in the Coto Brus region of Costa Rica, where up to 50% of suitable land may be lost by 2050. It identifies a gap between the awareness of sustainable practices and their implementation, particularly among resource-limited smallholders. The report argues that current short-term incremental adjustments are insufficient and advocates for 'transformative adaptation,' which includes diversifying incomes, replanting with resilient varieties, and potentially shifting livelihoods for farmers in areas where coffee is no longer viable.

Initiative 20x20 is a regional partnership in Latin America and the Caribbean designed to restore degraded landscapes through reforestation, agroforestry, and silvopasture. The initiative has surpassed its initial goal of 20 million hectares and has earmarked US$2.4 billion for project financing. The program addresses the fact that at least 200 million hectares of land in the region are severely degraded and that 49% of regional emissions stem from land-use change, forestry, and agriculture.

The Coca-Cola Company and WWF have partnered since 2007 to improve water stewardship, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and transition to a circular economy for plastics. Key achievements include the restoration of over 5,462 hectares of wetlands along the Danube River, the protection of 200,000 hectares of wetlands in the Yangtze River basin, and the implementation of rainwater harvesting systems in Mexico. The partnership has also supported Coca-Cola in setting a science-based target to reduce absolute GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline. In agriculture, 56% of priority ingredient volumes were sustainably sourced as of 2020, supported by certifications like Bonsucro for sugarcane. The partnership was renewed in August 2021 for three years to further build natural capital and climate resilience.

The 'Food is Local' fellowship by WWF International provides funding for master's and PhD students from 32 eligible countries to conduct interdisciplinary research on transforming food systems to be more sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient. Eligible applicants must be citizens of the listed countries, have two years of conservation experience, and plan to start their studies by January 2024. Research proposals are encouraged to cover themes such as agroecological practices, gender equity, and the role of food systems in achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The document outlines a strategic framework to transform ocean conservation by moving from incremental to revolutionary solutions. It identifies ten Grand Challenges—ranging from unsustainable aquaculture and marine debris to ocean acidification and dead zones—and proposes a pipeline for innovation. This pipeline involves sourcing ideas through open innovation and prizes, prototyping and incubating them through dedicated accelerators, and scaling them via a tiered investment model. The initiative seeks to build a multidisciplinary 'Tribe' of solvers, including technologists and financiers, to increase the speed and efficacy of marine protection.

The document provides an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for the MAR2R project, which aims to conserve shared freshwater, coastal, and marine resources in the Mesoamerican Reef ecoregion. It outlines the institutional roles of the Central American Commission on Environment and Development (CCAD) and partner NGOs, defines a project classification system (Categories A, B, and C) for screening impacts, and details the required procedures for Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA). The framework specifically addresses risks associated with land-based threats to the reef, such as agricultural runoff, deforestation, and aquaculture, and sets strict safeguards for indigenous peoples and involuntary resettlement.

The report assesses the economic value of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System (BBRRS), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, focusing on tourism benefits. It finds that four of the seven MPAs within the BBRRS generate up to US$18.8 million annually from tourism recreation. The document argues that these economic benefits far exceed management costs, providing a strong case for protecting the reef against threats such as offshore oil exploration, unsustainable coastal development, and climate change. It calls on the Belizean government to enact a moratorium on oil exploration and implement stricter land-use regulations to remove the BBRRS from the UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger.
