Syukuro Manabe delivered his Nobel Prize lecture, "Physical modelling of Earth’s climate," on Wednesday, December 8, 2021. Professor Thors Hans Hansson introduced him.

Manabe shared the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics with Klaus Hasselmann. Their work was recognized for "physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming."

The prize, awarded for "groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems," also saw Giorgio Parisi receive the other half for his discoveries on disorder and fluctuations in physical systems.

At UNFCCC COP25 on December 4, 2019, C2G and leading experts urged immediate action to address governance gaps in CO2 removal. C2G Executive Director Janos Pasztor specifically highlighted the challenges of large-scale CO2 removal.

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.

Fast fashion and online shopping are major contributors to landfills. Sustainable fashion expert Kelly Drennan explains how our own closets hold the answer to slowing climate change. Your clothing choices are more than just a fashion statement.

Kelly founded Fashion Takes Action to create a sustainable future. She convenes the Ontario Textile Diversion Collaborative (OTDC), increasing textile diversion and developing local reuse and recycling solutions. Kelly also chairs a task force for a Canadian circular fashion standard and produces the annual WEAR conference.

Recognized as a Canadian environmental leader with the 2017 Clean 50 Award, Kelly is a sought-after consultant. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

At COP 15 in Copenhagen, Hub Culture journalist Edie Lush interviewed Sarah Severn, Nike's Director of Stakeholder Partnerships. Severn discussed the current progress of climate legislation within the United States.

She also highlighted the BICEP partnership, a coalition of 17 global companies actively advocating for comprehensive climate change legislation.

Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac outline two distinct futures for 2050: one if we fail to meet Paris Agreement climate targets, and another if we achieve a carbon-neutral, regenerative world. They emphasize that immediate action is crucial to address our climate emergency, presenting this as our final, defining choice.

Figueres, a Costa Rican diplomat with 35 years of experience, served as Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change from July 2010. Her extensive background highlights the urgency of this pivotal moment.

Indigenous autonomy is a fundamental right, inextricably linked to protecting our planet and climate.

Oil company Petroperú is accelerating oil exploration in Indigenous territories of the Peruvian Amazon, seeking international financing. This funding would enable further exploitation in a critical ecosystem, jeopardizing local communities and global climate stability.

Join us in pressuring banks considering financing Petroperú. Encourage them to meet with the Indigenous delegation visiting NYC around Earth Day to prevent further Amazon destruction.
