Join us for a program with Oglala Lakota leader Jim Warne, co-presented by the Climate Reality Project Bay Area Chapter. Warne, an award-winning filmmaker, discusses Native American history and building relationships for climate progress.

Warne notes many Americans lack accurate Native American history knowledge, often receiving a narrow perspective despite over 550 tribes and 200 languages. He emphasizes historical inaccuracies contribute to an "ignorance by design," hindering understanding.

Fritjof Capra: Patterns of Connection

Join us for a virtual conversation with Fritjof Capra to discuss the evolution of his thought. In the late 1950s Capra read the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, and quickly intuited connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy. The result was his bestselling book, The Tao of Physics. His synthesis, which dispensed with the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton in favor of a systemic, ecological one, has provided him with a different perspective on the life sciences, ecology and environmental policy.

Six decades later, Fritjof Capra remains at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document his revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres addressed the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). Radio frequencies are the backbone of global communications, vital for education, healthcare, and climate monitoring. Expanding services and bridging the digital divide are crucial for reducing inequalities and advancing Sustainable Development Goals.

The finite radio spectrum demands efficient, equitable, and coordinated use to prevent interference. WRC-23 is a critical platform for governments, the private sector, and academia to collaborate on fair regulation, fostering inclusive investment and innovation. This aligns with responsible technology use and outer space preservation for future generations.

Guterres urged participants to share the radio spectrum wisely to build a sustainable future for all.
