We Mean Business Coalition and B Lab announce a new partnership to help companies accelerate greenhouse gas emission cuts. Join their CEOs on a LinkedIn Live event to mark this collaboration.

This conversational event will explore businesses' central role in delivering climate solutions, achieving a just transition to net zero, and acting as a force for good.

Tune in on May 4 at 1pm UTC to hear from Maria Mendiluce (CEO, WMBC) and Eleanor Ellen (Lead Executive, B Lab) as they discuss true climate leadership for responsible businesses.

At COP26, Kumi Naidoo highlighted a critical issue: the delivery of climate finance pledges. He questioned whether wealthy nations would fulfill their commitments to provide billions in funding.

This financial support is essential for South Africa's transition away from coal. The timely and complete delivery of these promised funds remains a key concern for global decarbonization efforts and developing countries.

Join us for an online talk with acclaimed environmental journalist Eugene Linden, author of nine non-fiction books. He will discuss his new book, *Fire and Flood*, which examines how business interests have historically obscured scientific warnings and hindered climate action. Linden, whose *Winds of Change* won the Grantham Prize, previously covered environmental issues for *Time*.

In *Fire and Flood*, Linden reveals how big money prioritizes short-term profits over long-term threats. He details the insurance industry's dramatic shift, now retreating from high-risk regions like Florida and California due to unmanageable fire and flood risks. This signals a broader business awakening to the urgent need for rapid climate action as long-term consequences become immediate.

Elder Dave Courchene (Nii Gaani Aki Inini – Leading Earth Man) presented "The Hope for Humanity – Preparing for a New Earth" at a 2018 meeting in Winnipeg. He emphasized that separateness and materialism contribute to a society plagued by fear, anger, and depression.

Despite scientific consensus on human-induced global warming, former US President Donald Trump has consistently denied its human origins. In 2012, he famously claimed climate change was "a hoax invented by the Chinese to make US manufacturing less competitive."

This political stance, compounded by the pandemic, has significantly hindered environmental progress. SustainabilityX magazine summarizes Trump's impact and offers a "what not to do" list to inspire action for the new year.
