Climate Change
Boudreaux, President & CEO, discusses Oberon Fuels' mission to decarbonize the fuel and energy sectors. The company aims to slash the environmental impact of fuels, particularly in hard-to-abate areas like heavy-duty transportation and agriculture.
Oberon achieves this through renewable dimethyl ether (rDME). Their low or carbon-negative rDME fuel can reduce LPG's carbon intensity by up to 60% when blended, potentially cutting global CO2 by 750 million metric tons annually. rDME also offers a compelling approach for transporting hydrogen for its fast-growing applications.
Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Leading Earth Man) – Dave Courchene, from the Anishinabe Nation, Eagle Clan, presented on "Indigenous Values on Climate Change."
This presentation occurred at the One Basin One Governance (Water is Sacred) Conference on September 18, 2019, held at the Victoria Inn, Winnipeg.
A Pew Research Center survey indicates that while highly religious Americans generally express less concern about climate change, young religious adults—including evangelicals under 30—are significantly more likely to acknowledge human-caused global warming and its severity. Across U.S. college campuses, various religious groups (Christian, Jewish, Muslim) are now advocating for collective action to reduce carbon emissions.
On April 26, 2023, a panel featured young Americans from diverse religious backgrounds. They discussed how their faith informs campus activism, shared their evolving perspectives, and explored their impact – or hoped-for impact – on older generations within and beyond their traditions.
Artisanal fishing communities in Abandze, Ghana, face declining living standards and revenues due to sea pollution, climate change, and resource competition.
The Africa Center of Excellence on Coastal Resilience (ACECoR) at the University of Cape Coast addresses this by training scientists to educate communities, shape policies, and manage coastal resources. This initiative aims to spur economic growth, reduce poverty, and adapt to climate change. Learn more.
The World Bank Group, a key source of funding and knowledge for low-income countries, is committed to reducing poverty and promoting sustainable development. Learn more about the World Bank Group.
Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) is a climate change organization. Interim Executive Director Ricky Bradley has outlined CCL’s new strategic approach, designed to drive advocacy efforts.

Much like pandemic mitigation, combating climate change requires difficult global cooperation. The emergence of new climate-altering technologies further complicates this, raising critical questions about governance, leadership, and ethics.
The Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) addresses these challenges. For three years, C2G has engaged global decision-makers across governments, the UN, and civil society. They advocate for effective, inclusive governance of emerging climate technologies, urging proactive risk management and transparent global monitoring before events escalate.
Introducing the keynote "Sustainable is the New Profitable. Green is the New Digital," this video highlights decarbonizing our economy as the decade's biggest challenge and opportunity. Accelerated by the Corona crisis, this shift will bring inevitable carbon taxes and the end of fossil fuel subsidies. The circular economy will be paramount by 2030.
Companies and individuals must understand and adapt to this tectonic move towards sustainability to thrive, or risk obsolescence. Learn how to prosper in this era.
