Join New York Times bestselling author Paul Hawken live on March 19, 2025, for an insightful journey into carbon, the planet's most versatile element. Often maligned as a climate change driver, carbon is, in fact, essential for all life, animating the entire living world. Lesley McClurg, Science Reporter for KQED, will also speak.

In his new book, *Carbon: The Book of Life*, Hawken explores this ubiquitous element's omnipresence, charting its role across planetary history, plants, animals, and food systems. He offers a new narrative, inviting us to embrace carbon's life-giving power and its possibilities for the future, seeing nature, carbon, and ourselves as inseparably intertwined.
