Innovate4Climate (I4C) unites leaders from business, finance, technology, civil society, and policy to drive climate action. The second I4C event in Frankfurt, Germany, gathered over 1,100 participants from 70 countries, reaffirming its role in tackling climate change and accelerating climate-smart investment.

Experts emphasized the need for collective action. Hartwig Schafer (World Bank Group) highlighted the private sector's crucial role in scaling climate finance. Hans Peter Lankes (IFC) stressed that governments, individuals, the private sector, and civil society must all contribute ideas and change behaviors. Environmental explorer Tim Jarvis underscored that cumulative effort will achieve our desired future.

On World Sea Turtle Day, Lilimar, Oceana, One More Generation, and children nationwide delivered over 12,500 letters and drawings to the White House. These messages urged President Obama and Secretary Penny Pritzker to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles in U.S. waters.

Representing all 50 states, the letters called for a simple solution: mandatory use of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in shrimp nets. These metal grates allow sea turtles and other marine life to escape, preventing their capture by shrimp trawls in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

Implementing TEDs would save thousands of sea turtles, reduce seafood waste, and create new markets for U.S. shrimpers.
