The Paris Agreement committed wealthy nations to provide $100 billion annually for vulnerable countries' decarbonization and adaptation. Despite re-affirmation at COP26, this crucial funding has not been delivered.

This raises a critical question for COP27: what steps are needed to ensure sustainable finance finally flows?

Pro-athletes are entertainers, and their definition of health differs from the average person's. Our bodies constantly expend significant energy just to function; for instance, about 1,400 calories daily are used simply to keep us alive. This inherent energy cost, a legacy from ancestors who conserved energy for survival, explains our natural tendency to avoid unnecessary physical activity, even with modern access to food.

This insight comes from Daniel Lieberman, Edwin M. Lerner II Professor of Biological Sciences at Harvard University. For more, subscribe to Big Think on YouTube or read the video transcript.

Join host Jeff Corwin on a conservation adventure, beginning in Big Sur, California, to aid the California condor's recovery. At the Ventana Wildlife Society sanctuary, Corwin helps prepare juvenile condors for release. Once critically endangered with only 22 individuals in 1982, the population has rebounded to approximately 500 worldwide, with 300 now free-flying. This remarkable success, involving captive breeding and tagging, demonstrates dedicated conservation.

Corwin learns about the challenges of protecting North America's largest flying bird, which has a slow reproductive rate. Later, he travels to Massachusetts to assist the Department of Fish and Wildlife in saving the unique saltmarsh sparrow, a species endemic to East Coast habitats.

Join Jeff Corwin on "Wildlife Nation" as he celebrates the Endangered Species Act and the dedicated men and women of American conservation. The program highlights the landmark legislation's success by connecting with amazing species that have benefited from its protection.

Corwin assists conservationists in returning baby sea turtles to the ocean, catalogs baby crocodiles in the Florida Keys, and aids peregrine falcon recovery in New England. Teaming up with Defenders of Wildlife, Corwin invites viewers to join the adventure and witness the vital work protecting North America's iconic wildlife.

Geothermal energy, despite lower carbon emissions than coal, is not benign. Projects like Nevada's proposed Baltazor site highlight significant environmental and social costs. Geothermal development leads to habitat destruction (e.g., in Kenya and for Nevada's Dixie Valley toad) and violent evictions of indigenous communities.

Drilling releases toxic elements like mercury, arsenic, and boron into groundwater. Facilities also cause air pollution, including sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, contributing to acid rain and health issues, as seen in Iceland. Moreover, "enhanced geothermal systems" (EGS) utilize fracking technology, injecting high-pressure slurries that can poison groundwater and induce earthquakes, mirroring problems in the oil and gas industry.
