For 20 years, Amazon Watch has defended indigenous peoples' rights and territories, recognizing their vital role as guardians of rainforests that hold 80% of global biodiversity. These lands face severe threats from extractive industries, including oil, agribusiness, and mega-dams.

We partner with indigenous allies to establish "No Go Zones" and support initiatives like Sarayaku's Kawsak Sacha, or Living Forests, to keep oil in the ground. Our international market campaigns pressure corporations and governments, aiming to reduce demand for rainforest-destroying oil and expose financiers of harmful policies.

On January 28, 2010, the World Economic Forum (weforum.org) addressed increasing energy security concerns. Despite a significant decline in energy prices from their 2008 peak, major producing and consuming economies diverge on developing a more secure and stable energy system.

A central question was: How can producers and consumers develop mutually beneficial approaches to energy security?

Key participants included Ilham Aliyev (President of Azerbaijan), Thierry Desmarest (Chairman, Total), Khalid A. Al Falih (President & CEO, Saudi Aramco), Tony Hayward (Group Chief Executive, BP), Andrew N. Liveris (Chairman & CEO, Dow Chemical Company), and Peter Voser (Chief Executive Officer, Royal Dutch Shell).

The global climate emergency is undeniable, with extreme weather impacting every continent—from wildfires and heatwaves to droughts and ocean temperature anomalies. Despite these clear signs, political action to end fossil fuel subsidies remains insufficient. What future awaits us?

In this program, Peter Carter (Climate Emergency Institute) and Paul Beckwith (Climate System Scientist) explain why transitioning from fossil fuels is essential for our survival. The discussion is hosted by Dale Walkonen and edited by Mike Coe.

Glaciers are vital for global cooling and freshwater, but they are rapidly shrinking worldwide. Accelerating ice loss, particularly in the Himalayas, Alps, and at both poles, causes severe events like avalanches and flash floods, exacerbating disasters such as Pakistan's 2022 monsoons.

Professors Detlef Stammer (University of Hamburg) and Peter Wadhams (Cambridge University) will discuss these disappearing glaciers, their impacts, and potential conservation measures.

Greenland’s ice sheets hold enough freshwater to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While not an immediate threat, recent research shows glaciers are shrinking seven times faster than a few years ago, losing an average of 30 million tonnes per hour.

This influx of freshwater into the ocean significantly impacts the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is vital for maintaining global weather patterns. Experts like Peter Wadhams and Paul Beckwith are studying these critical changes.
