Climate finance is vital for combating climate change, requiring genuine sustainability, not false solutions. At COP28, Raya Salter, Tom Goldtooth, and Dan Galpern analyzed financial flows, their impact, and legal actions for misuse. They emphasized immediate action over fossil fuel "band-aids."

The critical work of our time is nature's restoration, yet over $2 trillion is spent annually on military operations and armaments. This global spending fuels wars, destroys cities and critical ecosystems, emits millions of tons of greenhouse gases, pollutes land and water, and exacerbates the climate crisis, increasing vulnerability to catastrophic floods, droughts, and diseases.

Military alliances are not the answer; the real battle is saving life on our planet, which requires us to stop destroying it. This vital discussion features Kati Juva (Co-President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) and Tamara Lorincz (environmental advocate, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace).

Paul Shapiro, CEO of The Better Meat Co. and author of "Clean Meat," explains how new processes can replace environmentally destructive animal agriculture. He highlights that reducing or eliminating meat and fish consumption can restore nature, allowing wild animals to return and ecosystems to flourish, reversing the impact of billions of slaughtered livestock.

This collective action is vital for our planet. For more information, visit the FacingFuture Library.

Phoebe Barnard, director of the Stable Planet Alliance and co-producer of "The Climate Restorers" documentary, emphasizes that merely shifting from fossil fuels to electricity is insufficient. We must restore nature to remove billions of tons of carbon, reduce global temperatures, and address the critical issues of overconsumption and population growth.

While civilization offers comforts to a wealthy few, it has caused widespread environmental devastation, polluting our planet and driving mass extinction. This crisis stems from greed, ill will, and a pervasive sense of separation.

How can we restore our interconnectedness with nature and each other to address this urgent work? Is individual spiritual practice, often detached from the natural world, still effective?

Dale explores these questions with Zen teacher David Loy, author of *EcoDharma: Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis* and co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center.

The 2023 Green Growth Summit celebrated the Green Growth Partnership's (GGP) 10th anniversary, gathering high-level representatives from EU Member States, institutions, and businesses. Convened by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), the GGP fosters dialogue between progressive European governments and businesses to advance a climate-neutral and prosperous Europe.

The agenda reviewed a decade of climate policy, discussed "stepping stones towards 2040," and explored the Green Deal's impact on EU competitiveness and international relations. Speakers included ministers, MEPs, CEOs, and EU officials, moderated by Bloomberg correspondents.

Governments, constrained by global economic competition, struggle to address the climate crisis effectively. John Bunzl offers The SIMPOL pledge, enabling citizens to vote for politicians who commit to simultaneous climate action once enough nations agree. Corporations can also sign to lower emissions.

Bunzl, with Nick Duffell, co-authored *The SIMPOL Solution*, which explores the psychological, political, and economic barriers preventing unified action on the #ClimateCrisis.

To learn more and take the pledge, visit simpol.org. Businesses can join at theclimatepledge.com. *The Simpol Solution* is available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon. For more information on our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library.

Warming oceans are intensifying hurricanes, leading to more powerful winds, waves, and rain. Climate change also alters ocean currents, making storm paths less predictable and increasing their frequency. NASA highlights that a single hurricane can expend energy equivalent to 10,000 nuclear bombs.

Paul Beckwith explains what to expect as the climate crisis worsens.

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals annually for just 12% of the human diet, while also degrading topsoil.

Though regenerative farming is proposed, it often requires farm animals. This prompts the question: shouldn't we instead allow wildlife to return? Sailesh Rao (Climate Healers) and Larry Kopald (The Carbon Underground) discuss this with host Dale Walkonen.
