Vincent Stanley, Patagonia’s Director of Philosophy, noted:
“LIFT Economy has no parallel when it comes to understanding businesses with a strong social and environmental purpose.”
Recently, LIFT dropped a groundbreaking report: Minding the Gaps: Indigenous-Led Nature-Based Solutions—and it’s exactly what the world needs right now. This report doesn’t mince words and shines a powerful light on the essential role that Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) have played—and continue to play—as the stewards of Earth’s most biodiverse and fragile ecosystems. Despite their irreplaceable contributions, IPLC have been historically overlooked and underfunded. The report makes a compelling case: supporting Indigenous-led solutions is not only a moral imperative—it’s also the smartest, most effective strategy for protecting the planet’s remaining intact ecosystems, preserving vital carbon sinks, and building resilience in the face of climate chaos.
We at Home Planet Fund are honored to be named the first Non-Profit Intermediary Partner in this landmark report. This recognition fuels our mission and deepens our commitment to uplifting Indigenous leadership in the fight for a livable future.
