While climate change is a global challenge, modest actions can drive significant impact. An Oxford team is applying concepts like snowball effects and tipping points to human systems, seeking "sensitive intervention points" to accelerate the transition to a post-carbon world.

Professor Cameron Hepburn, Director of Environmental Economics at Oxford's Smith School, leads this research. A Rhodes Scholar with diverse academic and professional experience, he has published widely and advises governments and international institutions on energy and environmental policy.

Climate change is a critical global concern. A key strategy to drastically reduce our carbon footprint and protect the planet involves changing dietary habits, particularly by reducing or eliminating meat consumption.

A senior researcher in environmental sustainability and public health at the University of Oxford champions this approach, advocating for a tax on meat consumption. This perspective was presented at a TEDx event, an independently organized local conference.

Forest gardens offer a sustainable agroforestry model, mimicking natural ecosystems by combining diverse edible plants like fruit trees, shrubs, and vegetables in a seemingly wild setting. UK

Forest gardens offer a sustainable agroforestry model, mimicking natural ecosystems by combining diverse edible plants like fruit trees, shrubs, and vegetables in a seemingly wild setting. UK pioneer Martin Crawford transformed a flat field into such a garden in 1994, now an educational resource. A short film by Thomas Regnault highlights Crawford's abundant and diverse forest garden as a potential answer for future food systems. Watch the film: A Forest Garden With 500 Edible Plants Could Lead to a Sustainable Future.

This film is featured on National Geographic's Short Film Showcase, which spotlights exceptional videos affirming science, exploration, and storytelling.

Fritjof Capra: Patterns of Connection

Join us for a virtual conversation with Fritjof Capra to discuss the evolution of his thought. In the late 1950s Capra read the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, and quickly intuited connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy. The result was his bestselling book, The Tao of Physics. His synthesis, which dispensed with the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton in favor of a systemic, ecological one, has provided him with a different perspective on the life sciences, ecology and environmental policy.

Six decades later, Fritjof Capra remains at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document his revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey.

Black communities have a long, complex relationship with American soil, marked by systemic racism and dispossession. This history directly connects to current "food apartheid" and the rise of the Black farming movement, worker cooperatives, and sustainable practices aimed at ensuring healthy, local food access for all.

The San Francisco Foundation and The Commonwealth Club of California hosted a discussion on November 8, 2021, exploring these critical issues. Doria Robinson, Executive Director of Urban Tilth, and Andrea Talley, Worker-Owner of Mandela Grocery Cooperative, shared insights. Noted author Natalie Baszile moderated the conversation.
