Tora Fisher is a New York-based singer-songwriter and performance artist. Her father founded the Fisher House Foundation, a network of comfort homes for military families. Tora developed a keen interest in both the arts and this philanthropic work.

At 13, Tora was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed her father and stepmother. Music and performance aided her recovery and pursuit of her dreams as a recording artist. She now supports the Fisher House Foundation by donating proceeds from her CDs.

As Tora aptly puts it, "it's not about what happened to me; it's about what's happening."

Peter Pham, an organizer with Turnout4Transit, champions environmental and transit justice. Motivated by a two-hour bus commute to community college, he advocates for improved public transit in the San Jose metropolitan region, aiming to reduce emissions, ease congestion, and increase access to opportunities.

Pham recently helped pass a three-county ballot measure generating $100 million for rail services. Despite pandemic-related revenue decreases, he also successfully pushed the Santa Clara transit agency to limit bus service cuts, ensuring continued access for underserved communities.

Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and past-Dean of Environmental Studies at York University, argues that economic growth, the primary global policy objective, is unsustainable. Its long-term viability is increasingly questioned due to environmental impacts, resource scarcity, and its failure to significantly improve happiness, eliminate poverty, or create full employment.

A simulation model of the Canadian economy demonstrates that full employment, poverty eradication, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and fiscal balance are achievable without economic growth. Victor advocates shifting focus from growth to specific objectives directly related to human and planetary well-being.

On December 7, 2019, C2G convened a UNFCCC COP25 side event to discuss governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques. Stephan Singer of Climate Action Network International participated in the panel discussion.

These techniques are being considered within the context of the Paris Agreement and the ocean's role in climate action. However, none are ready for large-scale deployment, and all present significant technological and governance challenges requiring stakeholder attention.

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.
