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.

Ireland's public sector spends €9 billion annually on goods and services, totaling €100 billion over the next decade. This significant public expenditure presents a crucial opportunity to reduce carbon footprint, conserve energy, and boost environmental awareness among citizens.

Dublin fireman Neil McCabe demonstrates how this investment could foster environmentally friendly buildings and generate substantial cost savings. Transitioning to a green, low-carbon economy would not only save money but also create jobs.

The question remains whether local authorities and the government will embrace this vision. This discussion, hosted by Duncan Stewart, was published on Feb 18, 2014.

Maintaining human well-being across generations is a core sustainability challenge, intrinsically linked to clean air and climate change. Pollutants from sources like power plants and vehicles degrade air quality and drive climate change, which further exacerbates air quality issues. Addressing both simultaneously, with a people-centered approach, is crucial for present and future health.

Noelle Eckley Selin, an MIT Associate Professor, specializes in these interconnected issues. Her research uses atmospheric chemistry modeling to inform decision-making on air pollution, climate change, and hazardous substances. With a Harvard PhD and experience in science-policy interactions, Professor Selin's expertise is vital. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
