Comedian Marcus Brigstocke explores the role of humor in addressing climate change. While a serious issue, humor has long been a powerful tool for social change. The question is whether it can genuinely transform public perspective or merely serve as an evasion.

With the climate clock ticking, traditional talks and debates often reinforce existing knowledge and fears. To spark new dialogue and enduring change, the RSA is launching a series of unique climate events, beginning with a comedy night. This initiative aims to break through the static and foster fresh perspectives.

James Gifford, Executive Director of the U.N. Principles for Responsible Investment, notes the global financial crisis has prompted firms to consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for long-term sustainability. He calls relying solely on financial metrics "a bygone paradigm," urging leaders to address short-term investment strategies.

Dr. Gifford is a Senior Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Initiative for Responsible Investment, researching sustainable investment in emerging markets and integrating positive impact into mainstream strategies.

Published on June 18, 2015, by Democracy Now, this report covers Pope Francis's encyclical on the environment and climate change. In the encyclical (available to download here), Pope Francis called for urgent action to protect the planet, urging leaders to hear "the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor." He emphasized a moral imperative for all to safeguard the environment, advocating for a shift from a "throwaway" consumer culture in rich countries and an end to attitudes that prioritize profit over the common good. A key theme is the disparity between rich and poor, with the Pope noting the vast difference between those in "desperate and degrading poverty" and those with excessive possessions.

The discussion features Naomi Klein, author of "This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate," who was invited to speak at the Vatican's "People and Planet First: The Imperative to Change Course" conference. Also joining is Nathan Schneider, a columnist at America magazine, a national Catholic weekly published by the Jesuits.

Oil extraction in the Amazon is devastating the rainforest, climate, and indigenous communities. While often overlooked, the Amazon is a significant source of crude oil, much of which is consumed in the United States. This drilling occurs in the world's most biodiverse rainforest, a vital carbon sink and home to over 400 distinct indigenous peoples.

Amazonian peoples and scientists agree: this oil must remain in the ground to protect the planet and avert catastrophic climate change. Amazon Watch supports indigenous allies by advocating for respect for their rights and territories. Based on their "FROM WELL TO WHEEL" report, they urge companies, universities, and governments to adopt Amazon-free fuel sources.

This B Corp Global Climate Summit session, part of the Day 2 Africa Regional Session, explores the circular economy. This model aims to eliminate waste, boost resource productivity, and redefine how we design and reuse resources. With food waste alone contributing 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, and the linear economy's flaws exposed by COVID-19, the circular economy offers a new paradigm with an estimated $4.5 trillion annual economic potential by 2030.

The session will delve into applying circular principles to food waste management, how businesses adopt circularity for resilience, and real-world company case studies. It will also discuss the circular economy's potential for a green post-pandemic recovery. Speakers include Grace Wachori, Martha Nalweyiso, Matt Homewood, Daniel Chege, and Rita Atuti.

This history directly connects to current "food apartheid" and the rise of the Black farming movement, worker cooperatives, and sustainable practices aimed at ensuring healthy, local food access for all.

The U.S. faces a critical energy dilemma: immediate fossil fuel needs, exacerbated by global crises, conflict with the urgent scientific imperative to rapidly reduce production to avert climate catastrophe. Fossil fuel companies' claims of decarbonization are unsubstantiated, given their history of obstructing climate action.

Climate politics expert Kate Aronoff explores how policymakers must expand their toolkit to manage an orderly decline of the fossil fuel era, fostering a collective stake in our energy future.
