2016 marked the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed global measurements, confirming Earth’s average surface temperature has risen approximately 2.0°F (1.1°C) since the late 19th century.

This significant temperature increase is largely attributed to human emissions into the atmosphere.

The clean energy transition, often associated with the affluent, is fundamentally a civil rights issue. Communities of color disproportionately suffer from toxic pollution near factories and refineries, leading African Americans and Latinos to express greater concern about climate change than whites.

Despite this critical link, environmental movements frequently lack diversity and struggle to engage these communities. We delve into these challenges with hip hop artist and activist Mystic, civil rights hero Rev. Gerald Durley, and civil rights lawyer Ingrid Brostrom.

As carbon-fee-and-dividend legislation prepares for reintroduction in the new Congress, we heard from economist Dr. Noah Kaufman. He was the lead author of the 2019 Columbia University assessment of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, which confirmed the bill's environmental and economic effectiveness.

Dr. Kaufman is a Research Scholar at Columbia's Center on Global Energy Policy, where he leads research on climate change policies and teaches Energy Decarbonization.

Published on February 19, 2015, the discussion "Dissecting the Diversity Problem: How Can Leadership Make an Impact?" addressed the critical lack of representation in digital technology. Despite the ubiquity of tech, its creators—who increasingly influence policy—rarely reflect the populations most impacted. Women and people of color comprise less than 30% of STEM professionals, a figure that has declined since 1990, highlighting a systemic failure.

This vital conversation, under the theme "Technology for the People, by the People," featured insights from U.S. CTO Megan Smith, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, New America President Anne-Marie Slaughter, and Code for Progress Program Director Aliya Rahman. The panel also included Open Technology Institute's Georgia Bullen and was moderated by Alan Davidson.
