Join us for an exclusive talk with journalist and political strategist Jasmyne Cannick. Following wealthy socialite Ed Buck's conviction for crimes including the deaths of Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean, Cannick stated, "Ed Buck is going to pay for the crimes he committed...to an entire community of Black men here." Her persistence was crucial in bringing this sordid story to light.

Cannick founded Justice for Gemmel and All of Ed Buck’s Victims, extending her advocacy beyond journalism. She co-founded My Hood Votes and the National Black Justice Coalition, the nation's largest Black LGBTQ civil rights organization. This event is presented by The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum, established in 1903.

COP26 aims for measurable progress in mitigation, adaptation, and finance, urging non-state actors, including businesses and financial institutions, to join the Race to Zero and set ambitious net-zero targets. Collaboration across governments, financial institutions, and corporates is crucial for achieving these transformations.

This event, held on Friday, November 5th, in Glasgow, convened leaders from government, finance, and corporate sectors. Participants examined current progress and discussed essential actions beyond COP26 to halve global emissions by 2030, foster post-pandemic recovery, and build climate resilience for communities and nature. Experts shared diverse perspectives on these critical challenges.

Farmers face obstacles to participating in carbon markets, despite the effectiveness of tree and soil carbon sequestration in combating climate change. Drawing on nearly a decade of work in Haiti, ecologist Deborah McGrath proposes a win-win strategy for climate justice.

As the Carl Biehl Professor of International Studies and Assistant Dean for the Environment at the University of the South, Dr. McGrath advocates for colleges like Sewanee to invest in small farmers. This approach reduces institutional carbon footprints while integrating trees into farming strategies that benefit people, planet, and profit. She values collaborating with farmers and students for their environmental restoration potential.
