John Doerr, venture capitalist and author of the best-selling book *Measure What Matters*, popularized OKRs (objectives and key results). Now, in *Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now*, Doerr and Kleiner Perkins advisor Ryan Panchadsaram argue that the same management tools can be applied to prevent the growing climate crisis.

Join The Commonwealth Club and Climate One on December 6, 2021, as John Doerr and Ryan Panchadsaram discuss this pressing issue. They will explore how lessons learned at the highest levels of business might address climate change, in conversation with Greg Dalton of Climate One.

Join award-winning architect and environmentalist Duncan Stewart for a talk on the challenges of greenhouse gas emissions. He will discuss their impact on Earth's climate, the future of our youth, and biodiversity, along with potential solutions.

A pioneer in sustainable architecture, renewable energy, and nearly zero-carbon buildings, Duncan is a director of the Irish Environmental Network, Dublin Civic Trust, and Green Foundation Ireland. He also produces and presents RTE 1's 'Eco Eye' and 'About the House'.

Duncan founded Eco Ed 4 All, which develops environmental education for Irish schools and CPD courses for teachers. These cover critical themes like Climate Change, Biodiversity, Circular Economy, and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

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.

From June 14-16, 2023, Portugal hosted the Global Exploration Summit (GLEX Summit) in the Azores. Co-organized by The Explorers Club and Expanding World, the summit brought together leading explorers to showcase discoveries, innovative solutions, and technology for exploring our planet, oceans, and space.

Among the presenters was Andrew Revkin, a lauded journalist with 40 years dedicated to the sustainability beat. Known for his innovative reporting from the Amazon to the Arctic, Revkin presented on "The Scariest Climate Science."

Stark global temperature rise predictions and the urgent need for climate action are taking an immense emotional and psychological toll on scientists. Inspired by The Guardian's "Hopeless and Broken: Climate Scientists Despair," climate attorney Raya Salter and IPCC Lead Author Dr. Ruth Cerezo Mota discuss their personal experiences with this despair.

Dr. Cerezo Mota, a climatologist with over 15 years in climate modeling, shares her work's real-world impacts and the challenges of political resistance, funding, and public apathy. Despite these hurdles, her motivation fuels vital research.

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.

Independent analyses by NASA and NOAA confirm that Earth's global surface temperatures in 2019 ranked as the second-warmest since 1880. Temperatures were 2°F (1.1°C) warmer than the late 19th century, second only to 2016.

This data continues the planet's long-term warming trend, with the five warmest years on instrumental record all occurring in the last five years. More information is available at NASA's press release.
