Join us live on March 19, 2025, with New York Times bestselling author Paul Hawken to explore carbon, the planet's most versatile element. Often maligned as a climate change driver, carbon is, in fact, essential for all life.
In his new book, "Carbon: The Book of Life," Hawken offers a panoramic view, exploring carbon's omnipresence, its life-giving power, and future possibilities. He illuminates the subtle, inseparable connections between nature, carbon, and ourselves.
Speakers include Paul Hawken (Environmentalist; Author; X @PaulHawken) and Lesley McClurg (Science Reporter, KQED).
Editor Leah Clarkson guides viewers through Issue 4 of the #RSAJournal in our latest ‘Making the Journal in 90 Seconds’ video.
This issue features speculative future photography by RDI Nick Foster and the journal’s first editorial cartoon by Jeremy Banx. It also includes climate activism insights from Clover Hogan, with illustrations by Charlotte Ager.
Explore practical strategies for sustainable oceans with our upcoming webinar. This session provides a comprehensive practitioners' guide to developing effective plans.
Drawing from the Handbook on Sustainable Oceans Plans, it offers vital insights for implementation.
SuperScientist James Hansen is engaging with the International Court of Justice (World Court) on the critical issue of climate change.
His participation underscores the significant scientific and legal considerations now being brought before the world's highest court.
Carbon pricing is rapidly advancing worldwide, with significant developments like the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and new initiatives in Canada and Mexico. CCL Policy Fellow Dr. Danny Richter will provide a global overview, highlighting how America’s trading partners are using carbon pricing to cut pollution, level the playing field, and drive clean innovation.
Understanding these international trends is crucial for U.S. policy, especially as border adjustments and carbon efficiency become central. This session equips policy advocates with the global context and talking points needed to champion smart, fair carbon policy at home.
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.
Join B Corp climate consultants for a practical workshop on achieving Net Zero. This session will guide companies through setting goals, scoping emissions, and effective carbon offsetting strategies.
