Decades of warnings about climate change, fueled by CO2 emissions, highlight a warming atmosphere, melting ice, and collapsing ecosystems. Despite warnings, society's slow response has brought us

Decades of warnings about climate change, fueled by CO2 emissions, highlight a warming atmosphere, melting ice, and collapsing ecosystems. Despite warnings, society's slow response has brought us to a critical juncture. Now, contemporary climate activism, especially by young people, offers hope for the radical systemic changes needed to save humankind.

Jakub Hrbáň, a Slovak coordinator for "Fridays For Future," embodies this hope. After high school, he joined the March 2019 climate strike and completed Sweden's Youth Initiative Program. He now leads "Miznúca Domovina" (Disappearing Homeland), a project merging ecology, education, and passion to spread climate awareness. This talk was given at a TEDx event.

Millions of tons of construction waste annually pollute our environment and contribute to climate change. Mycoremediation, a nature-inspired solution, uses fungi to transform harmful construction

Millions of tons of construction waste annually pollute our environment and contribute to climate change. Mycoremediation, a nature-inspired solution, uses fungi to transform harmful construction and demolition waste into usable materials, mimicking natural decomposition.

Mycocycle, a 2022 Biomimicry Institute Ray of Hope Prize finalist, cultivates fungi to detoxify construction debris and asphalt. Their innovative process converts toxic trash into harmless, reusable materials, moving us closer to building waste-free, sustainable cities.

Called "the voice of the resistance" by The New York Times, writer and activist Rebecca Solnit discussed her view that the future hinges on present action to counter institutional inertia and fossil fuel interests. She emphasized moving from climate despair to possibility, drawing from her book *Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility*.

Solnit was joined by co-editor and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua and native Fijian Fenton Lutunatabua (participating virtually). Together, they called on the audience to embrace indigenous wisdom and new stories to rise to the moment. This event was presented in association with Bioneers 2023 on March 22, 2023.
