As Brazil’s inaugural minister of Indigenous peoples, Sonia Guajajara was tasked with confronting decades of dismantled protections, illegal mining, and stalled land demarcations.

In the second essay in our Earth Ahead series, she calls for Indigenous representation to become a permanent state policy.

The road is rugged and slow from Rumphi Boma to Hewe, a rural trade centre perched on the boundary of Malawi’s oldest and largest national park.

Franscina Mfune, a 51-year-old farmer, says the land problem in Hewe has escalated to unprecedented levels due to population growth. Farming is the main source of livelihood in the area, the widow says, but currently the majority of people do not have adequate land to grow crops for both subsistence and commercial endeavours.

💬 “We lost land to the national park, and we were pushed to settle in an area that was already occupied by other people,” Mfune tells Dialogue Earth.

Realising that the communities of Hewe and Mphangala face a common problem, in May 2025 they joined forces to launch the Nyika-Vwaza Land Victims Association (NVLVA). The group of 14,250 families from Rumphi district are fighting for their land rights and improved livelihoods.

This story was supported through a Human-Centred Conservation Storytelling Grant from Jamma Conservation & Communities.

As Peru’s environment minister and president of COP20 in 2014, Manuel Pulgar-Vidal was at the heart of the climate negotiations in the crucial year that shaped the Paris Agreement. Today, in the first of our Earth Ahead essay series, he argues that "besieged" multilateralism must not be abandoned, but rebuilt from the ground up.

As institutions weaken and global cooperation fractures, an architect of the Paris Agreement argues the environmental movement must change how it sees the planetary crisis and rebuild from the ground up

Beginning tomorrow, Dialogue Earth will over five months publish 20 essays from thinkers and practitioners across continents, disciplines and very different lived realities. These extraordinary people span climate science, policy, geopolitics, activism, environmental justice, literature and the arts. The Earth Ahead series will not offer one answer. That is rather the point. Environmental change is now shaping our lives at too many levels, and interacting with too many other forces, for one discipline, one geography, or one way of seeing to be enough.

Taken together, these essays do something that has always been central to Dialogue Earth: allow different kinds of knowledge to encounter each other.

Follow us into the next 20 years of dialogue, and beyond.

Never more urgent. Never more possible. ➡️

The climate crisis is not waiting, but neither is the transition. Both are happening now. Both are changing lives.

For 20 years, Dialogue Earth has understood that the full truth of the climate emergency must be reported. From the informal livelihoods India’s energy transition puts at risk, to the Indigenous women using solar power to light up Guatemalan communities. From the African refugees fleeing war only to face new climate disasters, to the Hong Kong oyster farmers adapting to a warmer world.

Just when we need the most rigorous, independent journalism in the world, that journalism is disappearing.

Never more urgent. Never more possible.
