“God will ask us if we have cultivated and cared for the world He created and for our brothers and sisters. What will we answer?” – Pope Leo XIV #RaisingHope raisinghope.earth/conference/

Jane Goodall sparked my career as a science writer many years ago and helped keep me going in these trying times with her 2021 Book of Hope. May she rest in peace – and may we all be inspired to take up the torch and carry on. 💚

Nonprofit Launches Tool For User-Tailored Climate Solutions Project Drawdown announced a new tool to help policymakers, businesses, and individuals identify climate solutions tailored to their needs.

Alternative Proteins May Be Our Best Bet to Curb Food Emissions New research argues tackling food-related climate emissions is more urgent than you think.

Finally, a Way to Invest in the World We Are All Building in a 401(k) For years, I’ve spent my time and energy thinking about how to commercialize technology and deploy them at scale. Most of my work was focused on entrepreneurs “doing well by doing good.

Year over year, we are continually pleased with our decision to work with Carbon Collective. Their climate-positive 401(k) plans have been a win for our employees. 💰🌲 But don't just take our word, @jigarshahdc.bsky.social shares his thoughts below:

Pope Leo interrupts vacation to appeal for action on climate change Pope Leo interrupted a two-week vacation on Wednesday to celebrate a special Mass exhorting Catholics to exercise care for creation, in the Vatican's second major appeal in a week for the world to address global climate change.

Thank you, Pope Leo! www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Trump’s budget hurts the fight against climate change, but all is not lost OPINION: “When it comes to stopping climate change and creating a cleaner, more prosperous future for Americans, it’s not game over. It’s game on,” Jonathan Foley writes.

The Trump administration can slow progress on climate solutions – but it can't stop it. This train has left the station, and it's not going back. @globalecoguy.bsky.social @projectdrawdown.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

As nations lag on climate action, their cities are stepping up. Here’s proof. A new report documents how cities around the world are becoming more liveable and sustainable in the face of climate change.

🌍 Cities aren’t waiting for national climate plans - they’re taking matters into their own hands.
“It is becoming clear, I think, to a lot of municipalities that this type of action will be absolutely essential… This is about protecting people’s lives.” — Dan Jasper, Project Drawdown

The problem with food and climate — and how to fix it Global food production — from meat to grains — accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions, says sustainability scientist Jonathan Foley. He presents a portfolio of data-backed solutions to b...

With 22-34% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, we can’t ignore the role of food in climate change.

But most of the “solutions” we hear about are PR stunts or greenwashing.
