Realigning Climate Finance: Time To Move From Oil To Soil

As COP29 continues to unfold, one slogan, “In Solidarity for a Green World,” highlights a glaring gap in global climate strategy. Internationally renowned yogi Sadhguru, founder of the Isha Foundation and the campaign, underscores this, saying, “Achieving a truly green world is impossible if we ignore soil health.” His call to action reflects an urgent need to reconsider how climate finance is allocated and the priorities it serves.

However, decades of industrial farming practices have depleted soils of organic matter, decimating microbial life and diminishing their ability to absorb carbon. Monocropping and chemical-intensive methods have further exacerbated soil degradation, with the UN predicting as few as 40 to 50 harvests remaining in certain areas if agricultural practices don’t change.Plants, through photosynthesis, are the original carbon capture and storage system.

However, farmers often face barriers to adopting regenerative practices, particularly the long gap between investment and return. To drive widespread adoption, policymakers must support farmers through targeted climate finance initiatives.
