Francesco Lapenta, Founding Director of JCU's Institute of Future and Innovation Studies, describes the paradox of energy-driven progress and shortsighted innovation. He argues that solving the climate crisis requires collaborative governance and socially responsible energy innovation. Developed nations, having benefited most and polluted most, must lead in sustainable energy solutions and offer equitable alternatives to developing countries.

Lapenta emphasizes that universities must cultivate leaders who understand the shared responsibility for humanity's future. The JCU Institute supports this by promoting international collaboration and transdisciplinary research on high-impact innovations, aiming for accountability and good governance.

The Center's Urban Wildlands program protects big cats and other wildlife by halting urban sprawl into adjacent wildlands, ensuring vital space and connectivity. Uncontrolled development in these areas heightens fire risk, increases car dependency, and isolates wildlife populations, particularly mountain lions. This year, significant progress was made in securing greater protections for California's mountain lions and stopping harmful projects.

Learn more about our efforts to safeguard California's mountain lions and wildlife corridors, and discover how you can contribute. The program features insights from Dr. Tiffany Yap, a senior scientist and wildlife corridor advocate, and J.P. Rose, Urban Wildlands Staff Attorney.
