Kawari envisions a carbon market that respects and upholds rights by supporting social integrity, adequate representation and informed participation of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities in carbon negotiations. Kawari channels philanthropic, private and public sector funds to support processes that achieve high integrity while benefiting communities and nature. 

The Kawari Fund is operated, and its Secretariat hosted, by Re:wild. Re:wild maintains a broad network of regional and local partners currently spanning 84 countries, including national and international organizations, government partners, alliances of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities organizations, and grassroot organizations. An Advisory Council, composed of global experts in climate finance, biodiversity and Indigenous people’s rights, oversees the high-level functioning of the Fund, including setting its priorities and scope.
