Dr. Dianne Saxe presented "The Climate Crisis & Municipal Leadership" in Hamilton, ON, on November 4, 2019.
Her discussion focused on critical questions: How must cities lead against the climate crisis, and what are the responsibilities of municipal leadership during a climate emergency?
Syukuro Manabe delivered his Nobel Prize lecture, "Physical modelling of Earth’s climate," on Wednesday, December 8, 2021. Professor Thors Hans Hansson introduced him.
Manabe shared the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics with Klaus Hasselmann. Their work was recognized for "physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming."
The prize, awarded for "groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems," also saw Giorgio Parisi receive the other half for his discoveries on disorder and fluctuations in physical systems.
Paul Hawken's "Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation" proposes a holistic approach to solving the climate crisis. This framework suggests that regeneration—restoring ecosystems, communities, and planetary health—can heal a "broken world."
The book advocates for placing life and human connection at the center of decision-making to achieve this goal, aiming to resolve the climate crisis within one generation.
Join award-winning architect and environmentalist Duncan Stewart for a talk on the challenges of greenhouse gas emissions. He will discuss their impact on Earth's climate, the future of our youth, and biodiversity, along with potential solutions.
A pioneer in sustainable architecture, renewable energy, and nearly zero-carbon buildings, Duncan is a director of the Irish Environmental Network, Dublin Civic Trust, and Green Foundation Ireland. He also produces and presents RTE 1's 'Eco Eye' and 'About the House'.
Duncan founded Eco Ed 4 All, which develops environmental education for Irish schools and CPD courses for teachers. These cover critical themes like Climate Change, Biodiversity, Circular Economy, and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
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/.
The climate crisis has crucial cultural aspects. Rebecca Solnit, co-editor of *Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility*, highlights new narratives emerging from science, Indigenous leadership, and organizing. These stories offer grounds for hope, envisioning an age of abundance rather than austerity.
Solnit, a renowned author of over 20 books including *Hope in the Dark*, is an influential writer and activist. She regularly contributes to The Guardian and launched the Not Too Late project.

Explore practical strategies for sustainable oceans with our upcoming webinar. This session provides a comprehensive practitioners' guide to developing effective plans.
Drawing from the Handbook on Sustainable Oceans Plans, it offers vital insights for implementation.
NASA reported that Earth's average surface temperature in 2022 tied with 2015 as the fifth warmest on record, continuing the planet's long-term warming trend.
Global temperatures were 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit (0.89 degrees Celsius) above the 1951-1980 baseline average, according to scientists from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).
