President Jim Yong Kim urges more aggressive global action to tackle climate change. A new scientific report, 'Turn Down the Heat', warns that the world is barreling down a path to heat up by 4 degrees at the end of the century if the global community fails to act.

This inaction would trigger a cascade of cataclysmic changes. These include extreme heatwaves, declining global food stocks, and a sea-level rise affecting hundreds of millions of people. The report underscores the critical need for immediate intervention to avert these devastating outcomes.

Bill McKibben spoke at the Marion Institute in New Bedford, MA, from October 26-28, 2012. His presentation focused on the ongoing fight against global warming, urging New Englanders to join the effort.

McKibben, author of a dozen environmental books including the seminal *The End of Nature* (1989), co-founded the grassroots climate campaign 350.org. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he notably led the 2011 White House protest against the Keystone pipeline, which resulted in 1,253 arrests—the largest civil disobedience action in 30 years.

Pioneers John Elkington, Bjorn Stigson, Doug Miller, and David Suzuki fear climate change issues may worsen before improving. They believe unity and meaningful progress will only occur when daily life disruptions force a realization of the connection between actions and consequences.

This perspective is from one of twenty Ray Anderson Memorial Interviews. These interviews are part of The Regeneration Project, a collaborative initiative by Sustainability and GlobeScan.

Climate change pioneers John Elkington, Bjorn Stigson, Doug Miller, and David Suzuki anticipate worsening conditions before improvement. They fear significant progress remains elusive.

True unity on climate action, they suggest, will only emerge once daily life is disrupted, and individuals fully grasp the direct link between their actions and environmental consequences.
