Corrina Gould, Tribal Chair for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation and a leading Indigenous activist, will discuss "Rematriation" at this year's conference. This practice involves reclaiming traditional land and sacred sites to rebuild cultures, heal colonial wounds, and prioritize women's unique role in this vital undertaking.

Gould co-founded Indian People Organizing for Change and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, an urban Indigenous women-led organization based in her ancestral territory (Oakland, CA). Through rematriation, cultural revitalization, and land restoration, the Land Trust calls on all people to heal and transform legacies of colonization.

This keynote was delivered at the 2024 Bioneers Conference. For more talks, visit Bioneers.

While forests have often been viewed as inert resources, Suzanne Simard’s revolutionary research is transforming forest ecology. A Professor of Forestry at the University of British Columbia, Simard’s groundbreaking work reveals the complex, interconnected nature of forests, particularly the below-ground fungal networks that facilitate interplant communication. Her findings echo the wisdom of First Peoples, offering a new paradigm for sustainable living on Earth.

Learn more about Suzanne Simard’s research on her website. Further insights, including her Bioneers keynote and panel discussions on forest intelligence, are available through related resources. This content is part of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series.

Annika Weber, 18, co-founded the Northwest School Carbon Neutrality Task Force in early 2021. Observing widespread burnout among youth activists, she sought to combine youth passion with adult experience for sustained, tangible results. The task force, including students, parents, and faculty, researched how her high school could achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

They surveyed the community, collected baseline data, and presented a report to school leadership. The school is now finalizing the adoption of these recommendations. If implemented, it would be the first 6-12 school in the U.S. to target carbon neutrality by 2030 without carbon offsets.

Climate change severely impacts regions like the Gulf of Mexico, threatening livelihoods. Young people, disproportionately affected, are leading the fight for environmental policy but are often excluded from critical solution discussions. Including diverse young environmentalists is crucial for effective action.

Armon Alex, a young climate activist, co-founded the Gulf of Mexico Youth Climate Summit and Project WAVES, a student-led water quality initiative. He empowers young leaders in climate communication and serves on Corpus Christi's Environmental Task Force. Maggie Peacock, also a co-founder of the Gulf of Mexico Youth Climate Summit, works with youth organizations and hosts community events. Both advocate for diverse perspectives in global climate solutions.

The Paris Agreement, three years on, sparks debate about its ambition and effectiveness. While it provides predictability for climate action, experts note we're "not doing enough" for the 1.5°

The Paris Agreement, three years on, sparks debate about its ambition and effectiveness. While it provides predictability for climate action, experts note we're "not doing enough" for the 1.5° warming target. Trevor Houser cautions against a binary view; progress has already averted suffering, and more benefits are achievable while aiming for 1.5°-2°.

Rapid global decarbonization, focused on carbon reduction, is crucial. Joshua Goldstein emphasizes that U.S. climate leadership is vital; its absence hinders other nations' goals. Staffan Qvist cites Sweden's successful hydro and nuclear grid, contrasting it with Germany's problematic 100% renewables pursuit.
