Climate change poses significant, widespread disruptions to the American economy, threatening our health, safety, and prosperity. Immediate action from policymakers and businesses is vital to mitigate climate risk. This panel will highlight innovative public-private solutions, discussing how businesses, governments, and communities can collaborate for greater resilience.

Panelists include: Joel Beauvais (U.S. EPA), Pam O'Connor (City of Santa Monica), Harriet Tregoning (U.S. HUD), and Kate Dineen (NY Governor's Office of Storm Recovery).

Changing weather patterns, with stronger storms and droughts, demand land restoration. We need to free land to absorb flooding, recover hydrology, and enhance natural systems for CO2 sequestration.

The automotive age has brought mobility at a steep environmental cost. Gas cars are disastrous, leading to ecosystem loss as paved surfaces cover soil and absorb heat; EVs don't solve this land-use issue. Additionally, three-quarters of arable land converted to animal agriculture compounds this recipe for disaster.

Despite scientific consensus on human-caused climate change, political rhetoric, such as President-elect Trump's "hoax" claim, emboldens denial. This fuels public anxiety over potential fossil fuel expansion and the reversal of climate progress, a significant shift from past bipartisan support.

Join us for an informative look at how climate change became so divisive. Climate scientist Michael Mann and cartoonist Tom Toles offer a satirical perspective, while science journalist Cristine Russell discusses the politicization of science. Psychologist Renee Lertzman explores the psychology of denial, aiming to foster common ground and solutions.

A new investigation uncovers how the coal industry, through a secretive network of giants, lobbyists, and media, has infiltrated Australia's federal government. This influence aims to halt climate action and stall the transition to clean energy, impacting political decisions up to the Prime Minister's office.

This documentary film exposes the dark heart of Australian politics, following veteran investigative journalist Michael West (michaelwest.com.au). It was co-directed by award-winning filmmaker Chris Phillips (thingsbychris.com) and Greenpeace Australia Pacific's Kim Paul Nguyen.

Portland is experiencing an unprecedented architectural boom, impacting citizens across many neighborhoods. While the city's Design Review process evaluates new buildings, its most stringent oversight applies only to downtown and a few inner districts.

A panel will explore how Design Review functions, its effectiveness, and potential expansion city-wide. Experts Michael McCullouch, Guenevere Millius, and John Russell will share insights, with Randy Gragg moderating the discussion.

Climate experts emphasize the urgent need to act on global warming, noting only 13-20 years remain before critical thresholds are reached. Immediate focus must be on carbon removal and implementing "zero" solutions across key sectors: zero-emission electric grids, transportation, buildings, and waste manufacturing. This collective effort is essential to turn the tide.

Addressing climate change demands substantial funding, yet philanthropic strategies face scrutiny. Critics argue major organizations often underfund grassroots initiatives, movement building, and vulnerable communities most impacted by climate change. True progress, as emphasized by Farhad Ebrahimi, requires broad community engagement. Learn more at climateone.org.

Join Clean Prosperity's Michael Bernstein and CCL's Cathy Orlando for a training session on the latest updates to Canada's carbon fee & dividend policy. This session provides a comprehensive understanding of emerging changes to federal and provincial carbon pricing, including the carbon tax, rebates, and industrial emitter schemes.

The training also covers carbon price increases, projected emission reductions under new federal climate plans, and border carbon adjustments. A Q&A discussion is available [here](https://vimeo.com/514675775).

An Interfaith Alliance rally, supported by Rev. Michael Ellick and Rev. Elizabeth Simson Durant of the First Congregational United Church of Christ, was held on November 10th at Pioneer Square in Downtown Portland.

Leaders from diverse faith communities gathered to oppose bullying, threats of deportation, and divisive behavior. They advocated for peace, bridge-building, and a more "beloved community."

This panel discussion, presented on November 4, 2005, and published April 9, 2015, examines Portland's evolving approach to homelessness. It contrasts Mayor Bud Clark's 1985 "12-Point Plan" with the city's 2005 "10-Year Plan to End Homelessness," questioning how strategies have changed and why new outcomes are anticipated.

Moderated by Gretchen Kafoury (former city commissioner and Portland State University faculty), the panel featured three key community leaders. Erik Sten, City Commissioner, discussed the city's program. Genevieve Nelson, co-founder of Sisters of The Road, shared insights from a survey of 400 homeless individuals. Lisa Schroeder, a business owner and co-chair of the Downtown Retail Council, provided the downtown business perspective.

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals annually for just 12% of the human diet, while also degrading topsoil.

Though regenerative farming is proposed, it often requires farm animals. This prompts the question: shouldn't we instead allow wildlife to return? Sailesh Rao (Climate Healers) and Larry Kopald (The Carbon Underground) discuss this with host Dale Walkonen.
