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.

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.

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).

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.

Hackney is pioneering zero waste in London. Mayor Philip Glanville champions the Circular Economy through the Zero Waste Hackney campaign, which empowers residents to reduce waste via repair/reuse sessions and the Library of Things. Wider borough collaboration could accelerate a zero-waste London and the transition to a circular economy.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, promotes the circular economy – a system designed to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products, and regenerate nature.

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.

The planet faces critical challenges in the next 10-20 years due to climate breakdown, with critical systems on the verge of failure. Young people must decide whether to plan their lives based on endless growth and consumerism, or lead a movement to adapt to changing conditions. What role will AI play in our future?

Former NASA engineer Tom Riley, author of climate detective novels, Paul Beckwith, and host Dale Walkonen explore how stories can inspire necessary and ethical action. Tom Riley's latest novel, *Dark Heat*, is available on Amazon.
