Join us for a conversation with leading ecological researcher Mary Power and Institute founder Tom Fleischner. They will explore natural history's vital role in inspiring ecological field study and theoretical advances. Dr. Power's decades of research on river food webs and their ecosystem linkages are deeply informed by her love of natural history.

Mary Power is a Professor at UC Berkeley and Faculty Director of the Angelo Coast Range Reserve. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and other prestigious bodies, and a former president of the Ecological Society of America. Her work was notably featured in "The Serengeti Rules" film.

Will Amos and a University of California, Irvine team have developed an innovative recycling system that transforms plastic waste into 3D printing material. This cradle-to-cradle system, which includes a grinder, extruder, spooler, and 3D printer, produces only water vapor as a byproduct. It directly tackles issues of overconsumption and plastic pollution.

An environmental engineer, Amos believes technology combined with education is vital for lasting environmental change. His team showcases the portable recycling system at campuses and TEDx events, emphasizing interactive learning. The project's core mission is to educate and inspire action.

Their Gender Equity and Reconciliation (GRI) process heals wounds related to gender, sexuality, and intimacy, uniting people of all orientations to confront disharmony. Developed over 24 years and implemented in nine countries, GRI has achieved remarkable success, notably influencing South Africa's AIDS and HIV policies. New academic research on the program is ongoing at two South African universities.

Gender inequality severely restricts opportunities for girls and women in the poorest countries. Empowering women and girls is crucial for combating poverty, hunger, and disease, and for fostering sustainable development.

IDA, the World Bank's Fund for the Poorest, actively expands girls' access to education and creates empowerment opportunities. As the largest source of concessional finance for low-income countries, IDA critically invests in women's health, education, and equal economic access, demonstrating tangible impact.

Karina Gonzalez is a key student leader for Fossil Free Northern Arizona University (FFNAU), a campaign urging the university to divest from top fossil fuel corporations. She coordinates negotiations with the university president, leads recruitment, and manages media relations, securing national coverage for their efforts.

FFNAU is Arizona's sole divestment campaign, distinguished by its community partnerships. Gonzalez has fostered this by collaborating with the Black Mesa Water Coalition, an Indigenous environmental organization. Together, they advocate for university investment in Navajo Nation sustainability projects. Karina also coordinates a United Nations youth delegate leadership program.

Tennessee native Erica Davis recognized that rural communities often see little benefit from local oil and gas extraction. Collaborating with grassroots organizers in Campbell County, she researched and sponsored a bill to reform oil and natural gas severance taxes.

Davis's bill aims to raise these taxes, which are the sole legislative means to keep extraction wealth in-state. Crucially, it seeks to distribute all revenue directly to the affected communities where extraction occurs, rather than the current one-third. Despite Davis's lobbying efforts and bipartisan support, the bill was dropped from the 2015-2016 docket. Now pursuing an environmental law degree, Davis plans to revive the legislation in the next session.

Much like efforts to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, combatting climate change requires cooperation on a global scale. And yet the history of international climate negotiations shows just how difficult that cooperation can be.

At the same time, new technologies to alter the climate are emerging, posing their own challenges to multilateralism. What, if anything, can we learn from the global response to the pandemic that might aid us in governing new, climate-altering technologies? What functions and mechanisms are needed? How important is leadership in not only responding to, but anticipating and preparing for these global challenges? What role do ethics play in governance decisions?

These are challenges the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) knows well. Their work is focused on catalyzing the creation of effective and inclusive governance for emerging technologies that would seek to deliberately alter the one atmosphere we all share. For the past three years, they've met with senior decision-makers around the world in national governments, the UN system and civil society, urging them to explore questions such as risk management and transparent global monitoring and reporting before events overtake.
