In early November, the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) presented innovative solutions and ideas for regenerative development at the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) in Bonn, Germany. GEN held a special event at CO23 on regenerative practices to meet climate commitments from the 2015 Paris Agreement, and shared stories of community-led carbon drawdown solutions.
