Acclaimed Indigenous leaders Clayton Thomas-Muller and Julian Brave NoiseCat are at the forefront of climate activism and environmental protection. Beyond organizing movements, these accomplished writers offer incisive analyses connecting settler colonial capitalism, systemic failures, and ecological crises.

Join us for an intimate conversation with these close friends. They will share the personal stories behind their activism, discuss new projects, and articulate their hopes for the future.

The discussion will be moderated by Alexis Bunten (Unangan/Yupik), Co-Director of the Bioneers Indigeneity Program. Learn more at Bioneers.org.

Dr. Peter G. Brown, Professor of Geography at McGill University, discusses key points from his book, "Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy," co-authored with Geoffrey Garver.

He argues that our current economic system, which assumes endless growth and limitless wealth, ignores Earth's finite resources. This leads to increasing environmental destruction and growing, sometimes lethal, tension between rich and poor, global north and south.

Piecemeal solutions are insufficient. We need a comprehensive new economic vision that serves both people and all of life's commonwealth.

Sea ice is melting at both poles. New technology reveals rugged undersides of Antarctic ice shelves, accelerating their melt from warm water. Scientists Peter Wadhams and Patrick Hogan explain

Sea ice is melting at both poles. New technology reveals rugged undersides of Antarctic ice shelves, accelerating their melt from warm water. Scientists Peter Wadhams and Patrick Hogan explain that this massive ice loss shifts Earth's mass, increasing tectonic activity and altering ocean currents, with significant implications for sea-level rise.

We must abandon linear thinking for exponential climate changes. Coastal communities face growing danger; rebuilding oceanfront areas after increasingly powerful storms is unsustainable. This increased tectonic activity also raises earthquake likelihood.

The Arctic's thawing ice threatens to release vast methane hydrate stores, a gas 84 times more potent than CO2. This potential tipping point could dangerously spike atmospheric

The Arctic's thawing ice threatens to release vast methane hydrate stores, a gas 84 times more potent than CO2. This potential tipping point could dangerously spike atmospheric heating.

Peter Fiekowsky and Peter Wadhams propose enhancing natural methane oxidation with Iron Chloride, a method explained in Fiekowsky's book, *Climate Restoration: The Only Future that will Sustain the Human Race*. Funding this planetary "life insurance" is critical.

Cities are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet they can actively contribute to environmental decarbonization. Peter Droege, an architect and leading expert in sustainable design

Cities are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet they can actively contribute to environmental decarbonization. Peter Droege, an architect and leading expert in sustainable design and urban planning, offers ten immediate action points for cities. His insights were featured as the introduction to our conference, "The Architecture of Transition," which explored the built environment's pivotal role in shaping sustainable futures through imaginative and precise design.

Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, Peter Russell, with degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer

Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, Peter Russell, with degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer science from Cambridge, applies a sharp, critical mind to self-awakening. He asserts that humanity's next great frontier is inner space – the development of the human mind – addressing profound questions about non-duality, consciousness, and reality.

Russell has authored ten books, including *The Global Brain Awakens* and *From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness*, synthesizing scientific rationale with intuitive wisdom.
