Maryati Abdullah , program officer for Ford’s Natural Resources & Climate Change program, explains how an innovative investment agreement is helping Indonesia’s transition. #COP29 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJGS97wC

The Promise of Justice Initiative ’s film, Plantations and Prisons: A History of Forced Labor in Louisiana, gathers first-hand accounts of present-day slavery in Louisiana, where people in prisons, mostly Black, are forced to work under dangerous, sometimes humiliating conditions at their own physical peril.
