Preserving biodiversity and avoiding climate tipping points necessitate critical changes in land management and food systems, requiring us to work with nature. The Amazon, vital to Earth's system, is losing its carbon sequestration capacity due to logging and cattle ranching. Peatlands also face threats; their delicate hydrological balance is disrupted by drainage (emitting CO2) or excessive wetness (emitting methane), further imperiled by permafrost melt.

This discussion was recorded on November 16, 2024, at COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, hosted by journalist Nick Breeze, with experts from the World Resources Institute, University of Leicester, and University of Cambridge. For more information on climate change, visit the FacingFuture Library.

Arthur Brooks explains metacognition, the act of "thinking about thinking," and its role in emotional intelligence. By reflecting on our emotional life, we can evaluate signals from the limbic system using our prefrontal cortex. This skill, like telling children to "use their words," helps adults interrogate emotions before reacting, fostering emotional health.

Metacognition is a developable skill; negative emotions are normal and signify a healthy brain. What matters is how we engage with them.
