Natural ecosystems are vital for planetary cooling, but effective solutions demand a holistic understanding of the organisms regulating our climate. The Crowther Lab, led by Professor Thomas Crowther, digitally explores the biosphere using advanced data and AI. This research aims to reveal nature's full potential in combating climate change and biodiversity loss.

Unlike many labs, Crowther emphasizes a comprehensive approach to predict climate progression and develop nature-based solutions. As chief scientific advisor to the UN’s Trillion Tree Campaign, his work helps organizations make informed decisions and implement these crucial solutions. This innovative perspective was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Massive wildfires, exacerbated by climate change, have devastated California. However, experts and victims primarily attribute these disasters to PG&E's criminal negligence. Faulty power lines and ignored maintenance since the 1990s led to deadly events like the Camp Fire, resulting in $30 billion in liabilities and the company's bankruptcy. Calls for accountability and reform are mounting.

Beyond wildfires, California faces extreme drought and rainfall cycles, intensified by climate change. This tumultuous water history and future needs are explored in Mark Arax's book, "The Dreamt Land." Discussions center on sustainable water management for the state's agriculture and population.

Coral reefs are among the planet's most diverse ecosystems, akin to rainforests. Despite covering less than 1% of the seafloor, they sustain over 25% of all marine life.

However, these vital ecosystems are severely threatened, particularly by plastic pollution. Join Oceana to help protect them: #BreakFreeFromPlastic.

Cigarette filters, often called the "last acceptable form of littering," are a major source of plastic pollution. Made from cellulose acetate, these filters release plastic, nicotine, heavy metals, and other toxic chemicals into waterways and oceans, posing a significant threat to our health and the planet.

National Geographic explores this critical issue and potential solutions. Learn more about this widespread plastic pollution by subscribing to National Geographic or reading "Cigarette butts are toxic plastic pollution. Should they be banned?" here.

Paul Hawken recently provided an update on Project Drawdown, his living research initiative focused on reversing global warming by reducing and sequestering carbon. Eighteen months post-launch, Hawken discussed the global response from activists, political leaders, and scientists, along with how communities are activating around Drawdown's solutions.

Project Drawdown, detailed in Hawken's bestselling 2017 book, "Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming," involves an international team mapping 100 substantive solutions. This presentation explores how communities are utilizing this template of possibilities to spread and accelerate the critical movement.
