Bananas are the world’s most exported and consumed fresh fruit. Ensuring a just and resilient supply chain increasingly relies on Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), especially as new EU regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandate compliance across the banana sector.

A webinar, organized by Victor Prada and Valeria Villacorta, examines how integrating Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) into HRDD strengthens business performance, enhances worker well-being, and fosters resilient, equitable supply chains. This human rights-based, gender-sensitive approach improves operational efficiency, reduces costs, and boosts worker productivity and loyalty.

For millennia, the Chumash people have been a maritime culture, renowned for their plank canoes, *tomols*, used to navigate the Channel Islands. European colonization nearly erased the craft of tomol building, but today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are dedicated to reviving this vital knowledge for future generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy's project to build two new tomols. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on tomol craft, culture, and paddling. To donate, please specify "Tomol Project" in the message box on the donation page: https://www.tataviam.land/donation/

Family farming is crucial for global food production, environmental sustainability, food security, and rural development. The UN Decade of Family Farming (2019-2028) urges countries to develop policies and investments supporting this sector, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Regional Technical Platform for Family Farming offers tools to foster dialogue and strengthen the sector's transformative capacity. It provides access to event records, public policy guidance, and resources for technical capacity building in areas like new technologies, innovation, sustainability, and trade. Explore good practices and lessons learned.

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.
