Indigenous Peoples integrate cultural values into business, protecting 80% of global biodiversity through "green jobs." To foster an equitable, regenerative future, we must uplift Indigenous-led solutions and transform philanthropy, moving beyond colonial-capitalism.

This panel explores these strategies with Sikowis (Great Plains Action Society) and Dr. Nick Estes (The Red Nation), hosted by Alexis Bunten (Bioneers Indigeneity Program).

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.

Visit UCTV: Global prosperity, long fueled by finite and environmentally risky fossil fuels, necessitates a new energy paradigm. Professor Eric McFarland

Visit UCTV: Global prosperity, long fueled by finite and environmentally risky fossil fuels, necessitates a new energy paradigm. Professor Eric McFarland predicts methane will be crucial for the next century's transition to a hydrogen-based economy, powered by nuclear and renewables.

McFarland's research demonstrates that abundant natural gas methane can be cost-effectively converted into solid carbon and hydrogen gas via pyrolysis in molten metals and salts. This CO2-free process is increasingly competitive, particularly in markets like California and Germany with carbon taxes, despite natural gas being the cheapest U.S. heat and electricity source.
