CLG UK urged the UK government to set an ambitious and investable 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), a call extended globally at COP29. They stressed that all NDCs require clear, long-term climate transition plans outlining how 2030 targets will be met.

The UK government's announcement of an 81% greenhouse gas reduction (from 1990 levels) was globally praised as strong climate leadership and endorsed by CLG UK. Read their policy briefing: Making it happen.

Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and past-Dean of Environmental Studies at York University, argues that economic growth, the primary global policy objective, is unsustainable. Its long-term viability is increasingly questioned due to environmental impacts, resource scarcity, and its failure to significantly improve happiness, eliminate poverty, or create full employment.

A simulation model of the Canadian economy demonstrates that full employment, poverty eradication, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and fiscal balance are achievable without economic growth. Victor advocates shifting focus from growth to specific objectives directly related to human and planetary well-being.

In a recent video interview, Klaus Jacob discussed the "Resilient New York" report, defining resilience, flood risk, managed retreat, intergenerational justice, and NYC's shortsighted climate plan. He highlighted that the report's climate projections (flood zones, sea level rise) only extend to 2050, despite the city's need for longer-term planning.

Jacob, a research scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Columbia University professor, warned of New York's storm flooding vulnerabilities long before Hurricane Sandy. He has since become a central figure in post-Sandy discussions.

UC Merced student Martin Figueroa spearheaded a campus movement to reduce water use. In 2011, he organized the "UC Merced Water Battle," a month-long competition involving over 600 students across residence halls. Utilizing real-time monitoring, participants collectively cut water use by 14 percent, saving 89,000 gallons.

Figueroa is now encouraging other UC campuses to implement similar "Water Battles" to expand conservation efforts.
