Kelp! It's slimy, it's tangly, it's ... delicious! Experts say this nearly magical sea plant can help tackle two big global challenges: climate change and hunger.

That's what makes them the true guardians of ecosystems. "We cannot sustain and protect this biodiversity if we do not recognize and respect the rights of indigenous peoples to their land tenure" and access to finance, Ibrahim says in a Global Stage livestream conversation hosted by GZERO in partnership with Microsoft.
