While civilization offers comforts to a wealthy few, it has caused widespread environmental devastation, polluting our planet and driving mass extinction. This crisis stems from greed, ill will, and a pervasive sense of separation.

How can we restore our interconnectedness with nature and each other to address this urgent work? Is individual spiritual practice, often detached from the natural world, still effective?

Dale explores these questions with Zen teacher David Loy, author of *EcoDharma: Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis* and co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center. Edited by Mike Coe. Learn more about the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center, David Robert Loy, and the state of our planet via the FacingFuture Library.

Robert Reich and Mark Zandi debated Glenn Hubbard and Arthur Laffer on the topic: "The Rich Are Taxed Enough." Moderated by John Donvan, the discussion addressed how to fix the U.S. economy.

With a nearing trillion-dollar budget deficit and high unemployment, the expiring Bush-era tax cuts presented a critical economic challenge. President Obama advocated raising taxes on incomes over $250,000 to reduce the deficit. Conversely, others argued the wealthiest 1% already pay over a quarter of federal taxes, and higher taxes on "job creators" would hinder economic growth. The central question remained: should tax breaks be extended for everyone, or are the wealthy not paying their "fair share"?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the authoritative source on climate change, responsible for effectively communicating vital information. Nearing the end of its Sixth Assessment Cycle, it's an important moment to reflect on past communication successes, challenges, and lessons learned for future reports.

International media and science communities are invited to mark the launch of a new Topical Collection (TC) in the journal *Climatic Change*. This TC focuses on Climate Change Communication and the IPCC, showcasing expert research and policy insights relevant to the IPCC's work.

A diverse panel of authors will present key findings from three TC papers on public understanding, engaging young people, and democratizing knowledge. IPCC Vice Chair Thelma Krug will offer critical reflections, followed by a Q&A session and a 'pitch contest' to conclude the event.
