Environmental justice advocates, including The Climate Reality Project, emphasize the urgent needs of communities of color. Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice's "We Can't Breathe" campaign addresses severe environmental injustice in San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP), a low-income community. Residents suffer high rates of asthma and cancer due to radioactive and toxic contamination at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund site.

BVHP, one of San Francisco's lowest-lying areas, faces extreme vulnerability to rising sea levels, threatening to flood hazardous waste. Despite these risks, luxury homes are being built near, and thousands more planned for, the contaminated Shipyard Superfund Site, amidst allegations of cleanup fraud. A protest will highlight these critical concerns.

Building materials contribute an estimated 5 to 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Imagine using materials that not only require less carbon to produce but also actively capture and store it. In California, architect Dylan Johnson and Yvon Chouinard, alongside a seasoned crew, constructed two houses using straw bales that would otherwise have gone to waste.

This innovative project demonstrates that natural building isn’t just better for the climate—it’s a superior way to build. Watch "Home, Grown" to learn more.

This "Living Between Worlds" session explores the business case for sustainability, moving beyond profit metrics to understand business's true purpose. Featuring Paul Herman of HIP Investor, the discussion unpacked psychological, cultural, and systemic barriers hindering organizations from embracing sustainable opportunities, despite mounting evidence.

The conversation challenged the myth that "doing good" costs more, highlighted "submerged value" (hidden benefits/risks), and addressed how fragmented thinking prevents systemic change. It reimagined business's role in creating a thriving world, showcasing companies bridging profit and purpose.

MEPs Pascal Canfin (RENEW) and César Luena (S&D) co-hosted an event in the European Parliament, focusing on the EU Nature Restoration Law.

Businesses increasingly recognize their vital role in transitioning to a resilient, net-zero, nature-positive economy. They understand that nature restoration is key to EU resilience, offering significant socio-economic benefits, including sustainable jobs, recreation, and broader health improvements.

Discussions centered on how the Law addresses the dual climate and nature crisis, while also providing economic opportunities like high-quality jobs and new sector growth. Ursula Woodburn, Director of the European Corporate Leaders Group, moderated.
