In 2018, scientists warned we have until 2030 to halve global emissions to avoid irreversible climate tipping points. Yet, that same year, Exxon aimed to increase oil and gas sales by 25% by 2030. This panel will explore three strategic approaches to target oil majors' bottom line and social license, aiming for an orderly wind-down of the fossil fuel industry within two decades and rapid growth of a clean energy economy.

Hosted by Rick Reed, Philanthropic Advisor, the panel features Sarah Thomas, Senior Advisor to the Funder Collaborative on Oil and Gas, and Rebekah Hinojosa, Sierra Club's Gulf Coast Campaign Representative.

The Northern White Rhinoceros is functionally extinct due to poaching, with only two individuals remaining. A video featuring Dr. Barbara Durrant explores whether the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's "frozen zoo" can reverse this. This unique biotech facility aims to use in vitro fertilization to implant a Northern White Rhino embryo into a closely related Southern White Rhino. If successful, this groundbreaking procedure could rescue critically endangered species and potentially resurrect extinct ones.

The Rockefeller Foundation demonstrates how minigrid technology and scalable business models can deliver clean, reliable energy to everyone, making universal energy access a solvable challenge.

Their series features over 40 mini-films and a documentary with experts like Bill Gates, Princess Reema, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. These films explore various solvable challenges, from childhood malnutrition and women's financial self-sufficiency to vaccine access, all aligning with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

Endangered Blanding's turtle hatchlings begin their journey into the wild. These turtles can live 80 years, but their population is critically threatened by predation, disease, habitat destruction, and human collection.

In 2011, a Center petition secured CITES protection for Blanding's turtles. The Center, joined by renowned scientists like E.O. Wilson, further petitioned in 2012 for U.S. Endangered Species Act protection for the turtle and 52 other threatened amphibians and reptiles.

While not yet federally protected in the U.S., Blanding's turtles are safeguarded by state laws in several states.

Explore groundbreaking developments in recognizing the legal rights of nature, including efforts by Indigenous communities to draft and adopt such laws. This bold approach, treating nature as a living entity with legal rights, offers a revolutionary path to protect the planet, enabling courts to enforce the rights of rivers, mountains, and forests.

Hear directly from communities on the front lines mobilizing to build a new environmental law system. Featuring insights from Mari Margil and Thomas Linzey of the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights, alongside Guy Reiter, Executive Director of Menikanaehkem – Community Rebuilders.

For 45 years, the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) has provided vital protections for dolphins, whales, and seals in U.S. waters.

Unfortunately, a new congressional bill threatens these safeguards. It would facilitate harmful activities like seismic airgun blasting—a loud, dangerous process used for oil and gas exploration—making it easier to injure these iconic animals.

Imagine living beside the world's largest freshwater body, yet being unable to afford its use. This is the reality for Highland Park, Michigan residents, who face soaring water costs and demand accountability for these rising expenses.

This critical situation highlights issues of water access, community rights, sustainability, and civil rights, with particular relevance to women's rights, government responsibility, and local activism in Michigan. The topic is explored in a film by Liz Miller.
