Broaden the TCA Coalition

Community Insights

Stakeholders noted that scaling TCA is constrained by duplications of effort, fragmented initiatives, and a lack of a coherent shared narrative. While TCA has attracted strong participation from well-resourced institutions, many operate in isolation. Deeper connections between aligned initiatives can strengthen coordination, reduce inefficiencies, and amplify collective influence. The movement also needs to elevate regional leaders and frontline voices to ensure strategies are grounded in local realities. Other insights included:

• Limited coordination and overlapping initiatives have slowed progress and created missed opportunities for systemic change.
• Building stronger partnerships across related movements, such as public health, nutrition, climate resilience, and just transition, can expand TCA’s reach and influence.
• Bringing producers, consumers, and adjacent interest groups (e.g., insurance) into the conversation will add fresh perspectives, new avenues of influence, and additional capacity.
• Frontline communities and local practitioners are essential partners. Their leadership and expertise should help shape strategies that are practical, equitable, and grounded in real-world needs.
• Developing a shared narrative and unified voice can increase visibility and accelerate adoption.
