Climate change pioneers John Elkington, Bjorn Stigson, Doug Miller, and David Suzuki anticipate worsening conditions before improvement. They fear significant progress remains elusive.

True unity on climate action, they suggest, will only emerge once daily life is disrupted, and individuals fully grasp the direct link between their actions and environmental consequences.

Christopher F. Jones's book redefines the fossil fuel revolution, focusing on advances in energy access—via canals, pipelines, and wires—rather than just production. He demonstrates how elaborate transportation networks for coal, oil, and electricity fueled remarkable urban and industrial growth in the American mid-Atlantic between 1820 and 1930, simultaneously setting the nation on a path toward fossil fuel dependence.

This historical account offers valuable lessons for pioneering a more sustainable energy future. To learn more, visit Christopher F. Jones's website or order his book from Amazon.

Henry Miller argues that local efforts to adapt to and ameliorate climate change require two essential guidelines. First, we must identify and understand how our local context as a living hydrographic system (watershed), is integrated with ecological, economic, social and political subsystems. This allows us to develop planning and management strategies that address how people's lives interact with their natural environment. Second, we must use a simple and clear language to communicate with local stakeholders, in order to educate, motivate, and finally, to generate options for decision making in the short term. Henry Miller has been working for more than twenty years in the Mexican countryside interacting directly with the rural and indigenous population, serving as an intermediary between cultures, representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations, gathering information and transferring knowledge related to community development, food production and sustainable management of natural resources. He is currently the director of the non-profit El Maíz Más Pequeño whose mission is to contribute to the development of Mexico through the promotion of adaptive governance, education for life and ecological territorial management in the face of climate change. Between 2016 and 2019, he was the coordinator of the project Watersheds, People, Water and Climate Change: adaptation processes in the Támbula Sub-Basin. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

The Aviation Impact Accelerator (AIA), Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership and the Whittle Laboratory has released its groundbreaking report, ‘Five Years to Chart a New Future for Aviation’, outlining an ambitious plan calling for leaders to make structural changes in order to meet the net-zero target. Professor Robert Miller discusses the ambitious goals for sustainable aviation on Sky News. Read the full report here: https://report.aiazero.org/ This is the second in the series of reports under CISL’s Business Leadership Campaign calling for strong courageous leadership which builds and advocates for structural market changes such that sustainability is rewarded, and unsustainable activity becomes commercially unviable.
