Helena Gualinga and Nina Gualinga - #EndAmazonCrude: A Call to Action

California is the world's largest consumer of Amazon rainforest oil. This extraction fuels climate change, deforestation, ocean pollution, and displaces Indigenous peoples who protect the Amazon's vital biodiversity. It also harms communities along the supply chain, including those near toxic refineries in California.

We are honored to host Indigenous Amazonian forest-protectors, sisters Nina and Helena Gualinga. Working with Amazon Watch, they urge Californians—and all of us—to #EndAmazonCrude and demand corporate responsibility for people and the planet.

Kate Aronoff - Is "Responsible" Fossil Fuel Production Possible?

The U.S. faces a critical energy dilemma: immediate fossil fuel needs, exacerbated by global crises, conflict with the urgent scientific imperative to rapidly reduce production to avert climate catastrophe. Fossil fuel companies' claims of decarbonization are unsubstantiated, given their history of obstructing climate action.

Climate politics expert Kate Aronoff explores how policymakers must expand their toolkit to manage an orderly decline of the fossil fuel era, fostering a collective stake in our energy future.

Karen Washington — 911 Our Food System Is Not Working | Bioneers

The current food system is failing and unsustainable. Leaders offer inadequate solutions to hunger and poverty, a critical issue given the UN's projection of 2 billion more people by 2050, primarily in urban areas.

Achieving a fair, just, and equitable food system requires radical new thinking and significant effort. Renowned food activist Karen Washington argues for a dramatic transformation, not just a fix.

The Best of Both Worlds: tackling cost of living and decarbonisation

The UK Corporate Leaders Groups (CLG UK) launched its policy briefing, 'The Best of Both Worlds: How tackling cost of living and decarbonisation creates win-wins for the UK economy,' on Monday, June 27, from 2-3pm BST. This webinar, held as part of London Climate Action Week, explored how the UK can address its dual crises—the cost of living and climate—through integrated policy solutions.

The briefing emphasizes that aligning decarbonisation efforts with cost-of-living support generates more favourable economic outcomes. Research by Cambridge Econometrics, commissioned by CLG UK, demonstrates that such an approach is also more progressive, primarily benefiting lower-income households. This strategy offers a "best of both worlds" solution for the UK economy.
