David Keith reviews the science and technology of solar geoengineering, examining its potential to reduce climate risks, associated new risks, and current uncertainties. He proposes integrating solar geoengineering into a comprehensive 4D climate policy, which includes emissions cuts, carbon removal, and adaptation.

A distinguished expert, David Keith is a Harvard Professor of Applied Physics and Public Policy. He founded Carbon Engineering, a company developing technology to capture CO2 for carbon-neutral fuels. Best known for his work on solar geoengineering, he led Harvard's Solar Geoengineering Research Program. He has authored over 200 academic publications and "A Case for Climate Engineering."

The session was moderated by Greg Bronevetsky.

David Giuliani, a Northwest serial entrepreneur and inventor, champions applying entrepreneurial zeal to state-level climate change and carbon reduction. An electrical engineer, he designed early LED products and secured numerous medical patents. He co-invented and led Sonicare, selling it to Philips, and later co-invented Clarisonic, sold to L'Oreal. He received national Small Business Person and Entrepreneur of the Year awards.

Now, Giuliani applies his talents to societal improvement. With Howard Behar, he founded the Washington Business Alliance, which launched the Low Carbon Prosperity Institute to reframe climate issues as "win-win." This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

A recent webinar gathered banana value chain experts to discuss the critical role of genetic diversity beyond Cavendish. Varietal diversification builds resilient, sustainable production and market systems, reducing vulnerability to pests, diseases, climate, and market shocks. Non-Cavendish varieties offer significant agronomic, nutritional, and cultural value, enhancing food security and biodiversity.

The event highlighted barriers like Cavendish-based market standards and insufficient incentives. It underscored the need for coordinated efforts, improved market recognition, and shared learning to promote banana diversification and ensure the global sector's long-term resilience. Organizers included Victor Prada, Matheus Lima, and Adriele Benedetto. More information: FAO TR4GN and World Banana Forum.

A global webinar gathered experts to share the latest research on developing banana cultivars resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Building on prior discussions, the event consolidated knowledge and highlighted recent progress in breeding, field trials, and advanced genetic tools. Organizers included Victor Prada, Matheus Lima, and Adriele Benedetto.

The webinar updated ongoing research, identified challenges for durable resistance, and emphasized genetic diversity's role in resilient production. It also underscored biotechnology's potential and the importance of multi-location trials. The event fostered knowledge exchange and strengthened global collaboration for effective TR4-tolerant cultivar deployment worldwide.

Bananas are the most exported and consumed fresh fruit globally, playing a vital role in trade and food security. The implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is becoming essential for creating a fair and resilient supply chain. HRDD helps businesses identify and mitigate adverse human rights impacts in their operations.

The FAO's World Banana Forum webinar discussed integrating child and forced labour prevention into HRDD to enhance decent work in the banana industry. It provided stakeholders with practical tools and strategies to address the root causes of these issues, improve monitoring systems, and foster safer workplaces.

Join host Jeff Corwin to celebrate the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its profound impact on wildlife. The bald eagle, once critically endangered, now thrives as a powerful symbol of conservation success, thanks to the ESA. This landmark 1973 bipartisan legislation protects vulnerable species and their ecosystems.

Corwin visits Florida's Boca Raton beaches, a vital nesting site for sea turtles. Conservationists Elizabeth Fleming and David Anderson demonstrate how habitat protection is crucial for species like loggerheads. Excavating a nest reveals successful hatchlings, underscoring that safeguarding their environment allows these keystone species to survive. Six of the world's seven sea turtle species nest in America, all protected by the ESA. Learn more at defenders.org/wildlifenation.

Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and former Dean of Environmental Studies at York

Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and former Dean of Environmental Studies at York University, was interviewed at the International DeGrowth Conference in Barcelona (March 25-29, 2010). He posits that economic growth is not necessary for a good life, and that living well without it is feasible.

The conference discussed not just stabilizing, but actively shrinking the economy—a more challenging but achievable goal requiring significant societal changes. A more in-depth speech by Dr. Victor is available on EarthSayers.tv.
