Watch "The Power of Big Oil Part Two: Doubt," a FRONTLINE documentary. This episode is part of a three-part series.
It investigates the fossil fuel industry's historical efforts to sow doubt and impede action on climate change.
Climate change demands urgent, integrated action: reducing greenhouse gas pollution, rapidly scaling carbon drawdown, and building societal resilience. These efforts must prioritize equity. Fortunately, "whole problem" approaches are emerging globally, offering effective pathways forward through cross-sector collaboration.
This discussion, moderated by Kerry Fugett, featured leaders like Trathen Heckman, Lil Milagro Henriquez, and Brett KenCairn, who are outlining revolutionary blueprints. For more from the Bioneers 2020 Conference, visit https://bioneers.org/2020talks/.
Fast fashion and online shopping are major contributors to landfills. Sustainable fashion expert Kelly Drennan explains how our own closets hold the answer to slowing climate change. Your clothing choices are more than just a fashion statement.
Kelly founded Fashion Takes Action to create a sustainable future. She convenes the Ontario Textile Diversion Collaborative (OTDC), increasing textile diversion and developing local reuse and recycling solutions. Kelly also chairs a task force for a Canadian circular fashion standard and produces the annual WEAR conference.
Recognized as a Canadian environmental leader with the 2017 Clean 50 Award, Kelly is a sought-after consultant. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
Indigenous autonomy is a fundamental right, inextricably linked to protecting our planet and climate.
Oil company Petroperú is accelerating oil exploration in Indigenous territories of the Peruvian Amazon, seeking international financing. This funding would enable further exploitation in a critical ecosystem, jeopardizing local communities and global climate stability.
Join us in pressuring banks considering financing Petroperú. Encourage them to meet with the Indigenous delegation visiting NYC around Earth Day to prevent further Amazon destruction.
Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac outline two distinct futures for 2050: one if we fail to meet Paris Agreement climate targets, and another if we achieve a carbon-neutral, regenerative world. They emphasize that immediate action is crucial to address our climate emergency, presenting this as our final, defining choice.
Figueres, a Costa Rican diplomat with 35 years of experience, served as Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change from July 2010. Her extensive background highlights the urgency of this pivotal moment.

Earth's average surface temperature in 2024 was the warmest on record.
This finding comes from an analysis led by NASA scientists.
Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer multiple benefits for business, nature, and people, yet their adoption by companies to meet climate goals and mitigate risks remains limited. Increased corporate engagement across value chains is crucial for achieving a net-zero, nature-positive world.
CISL acknowledges the challenges companies face in adopting NbS, particularly in quantifying benefits for initial projects like regenerative agriculture. To address this, CISL, with support from the We Mean Business Coalition, launched a diagnostic tool in March 2022 to help unlock NbS investments within value chains.
An upcoming webinar, part of CISL’s project to support business to #GetNBSready, will explore progress on nature-positive ambitions, discuss implementation challenges, and demonstrate how this tool can assist companies.
A Pew Research Center survey indicates that while highly religious Americans generally express less concern about climate change, young religious adults—including evangelicals under 30—are significantly more likely to acknowledge human-caused global warming and its severity. Across U.S. college campuses, various religious groups (Christian, Jewish, Muslim) are now advocating for collective action to reduce carbon emissions.
On April 26, 2023, a panel featured young Americans from diverse religious backgrounds. They discussed how their faith informs campus activism, shared their evolving perspectives, and explored their impact – or hoped-for impact – on older generations within and beyond their traditions.
