Could genomics offer a solution to the climate change crisis? Genomics, the study of genes and their functions, explores manipulating genomes for increased resilience against environmental harm.

Could genomics offer a solution to the climate change crisis? Genomics, the study of genes and their functions, explores manipulating genomes for increased resilience against environmental harm. Yale Professor Daniel C. Esty, editor of *A Better Planet: Forty Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future*, advocates for genetic modification in nature as a serious strategy for sustainability.

This approach could harden species against climate threats, speed plant growth, and enhance forests' ability to absorb carbon, making nature a key part of the solution.

Addressing the climate crisis effectively requires bipartisan political action. While once a non-partisan issue, it became a partisan wedge by the mid-1990s. Despite this, growing agreement on climate change's reality exists among Republicans and Democrats, though concerns about economic impact and individual choices persist. Policies, such as requiring companies to pay for greenhouse gas emissions, could drive immediate behavioral change.

Daniel C. Esty, a Yale professor and former EPA official, stresses that transformative change for a sustainable future demands broad political consensus, ideally around 70% support. He anticipates the Republican party will reposition itself on climate change, moving beyond past concerns about policy implications to embrace "up the middle" strategies, as explored in his book, *[A Better Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future](https://amzn.to/2PpH39K)*.
