Young, conservative, and Catholic individuals are increasingly advocating for climate action, driven by their faith and stewardship of the earth. Topher Anderson, a Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) volunteer, exemplifies this, citing his Catholic faith and Pope Francis's teachings as his motivation.

In March 2021, Topher met with Republican members of Congress, urging them to adopt climate solutions consistent with conservative values like small government and American ingenuity. He believes these principles are key to effective, nationwide solutions.

CCL supports people of faith in their climate advocacy, offering training and organization to empower ordinary citizens. Learn more about this growing movement at http://cclusa.org.

This video highlights how a nature-inspired healing process is transforming coral reef restoration. With over half of the world's living coral lost since 1950 due to climate change, pollution, and overfishing, traditional coral farming methods are often insufficient.

Startup Coral Vita addresses this by using micro fragmentation in land-based farms, growing climate-resilient corals up to 50 times faster than in nature. This innovative approach helps restore dying reefs globally.

Coral Vita was a finalist for the 2022 Ray of Hope Prize, which supports nature-inspired solutions for environmental challenges. Learn more at Coral Vita and the Ray of Hope Accelerator.
