leaders of grassroots networks in 22 countries*—men, women, and youth among Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and Afro-descendant Peoples—were interviewed about their hopes, dreams, and fears for the future.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p2">The interviews, commissioned by the Rights and Resources Initiative and conducted anonymously, used a “blue-skies thinking” approach, in which we created a freeform space for brainstorming and new ideas. We encouraged participants to be open-minded and to think beyond day-to-day concerns. As appropriate, we spoke in Bahasa, English, French, Nepali, Portuguese, and Spanish, sometimes with interpretation in Indigenous languages. We sought clarity on what these leaders want the world to be like in 2030 and beyond, how such a world could be brought into being, and their worries about the journey to get there.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p><em>*Countries in Latin America where leaders were interviewed: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Peru; in Africa: Cameroon, the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, and Madagascar; and in Asia: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, and Thailand.</em></p> <hr> <a href="https://doi.org/10.53892/LAGB2081" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.53892/LAGB2081</a> </div> </div> </article> <ul class="tabs"> <li class="js-tab" rel="tab3"> Related Materials </li> </ul> <div class="tab_container">   <h3 class="tab_drawer_heading" rel="tab3">Related Materials</h3> <div id="tab3" class="tab_content"> <p><span>Read the complete Blue Skies global synthesis in:</span></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://rightsandresources.org/wp-content/uploads/EN_21072022-Global-BlueSkies-RRI.pdf">English</a></li> <li><a href="https://rightsandresources.org/wp-content/uploads/FR_21072022-Global-BlueSkies-RRI.pdf">French</a></li> <li><a href="https://rightsandresources.org/wp-content/uploads/ESP_21072022-Global-BlueSkies-RRI.pdf">Spanish</a></li> </ul> </div>  </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div>  <footer class="entry-meta"> </footer> </div>  </div>  <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function () { window.setTimeout(function () { jQuery(".strip-hashtags").each(function () { var url = jQuery(this).attr("data");
