Animal protein production contributes significantly to climate-altering gases. However, a new generation of companies is developing innovative meat alternatives, including plant-based options and lab-grown cells, which boast much smaller environmental impacts. Major investors like Bill Gates, Cargill, and Tyson are backing these "clean meat" technologies.

These emerging food choices are now available in restaurants and grocery stores. The critical questions are whether these options will achieve mainstream adoption and effectively reduce the carbon pollution destabilizing our climate. #letstalkclimate Learn more at climateone.org and this event page.

In *Fascism: A Warning*, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright draws on her experiences and diplomatic career to provide a personal examination of Fascism's 20th-century legacy and its impact today. She defines a Fascist as one who claims to speak for a nation, disregards others' rights, and uses violence to achieve goals.

Albright argues that Fascism presents a more virulent threat now than since World War II, with global democratic momentum reversing. Economic, technological, and cultural factors empower political extremes, and contemporary leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un employ tactics reminiscent of 1920s and 30s Fascists. This timely book offers crucial lessons to prevent repeating past errors.

The 1980s ushered in an era of "neo-liberal" economics, granting markets and corporations vast power, which led to escalating wealth inequality. A new global movement, Community Wealth Building, is now pushing back, fighting to democratize the economy and build wealth for the many. This movement is taking hold in diverse locations worldwide.

Renowned journalist Laura Flanders, host of The Laura Flanders Show on public television, will explain why this growing movement for a democratic economy may be the most important economic movement of our time. Flanders is an Izzy-Award winning independent journalist and bestselling author.

California boasts a 150-year legacy of environmental leadership, protecting wilderness, restricting oil drilling, regulating emissions, and boosting energy efficiency. Its foresight was recognized in the 1963 Clean Air Act, granting a waiver for stricter state standards—a tool still vital today in challenging national CAFE standard changes.

Explore California's pioneering environmental policy, examining its successes and challenges. The state has committed to 100% zero-carbon electricity and carbon neutrality by 2045. Experts, including John Hofmeister (Shell), Bob Holycross (Ford), and Mary Nichols (CARB), will discuss this bold move for the world's fifth-largest economy. Learn more at https://climateone.org/.

Climate experts emphasize the urgent need to act on global warming, noting only 13-20 years remain before critical thresholds are reached. Immediate focus must be on carbon removal and implementing "zero" solutions across key sectors: zero-emission electric grids, transportation, buildings, and waste manufacturing. This collective effort is essential to turn the tide.

Addressing climate change demands substantial funding, yet philanthropic strategies face scrutiny. Critics argue major organizations often underfund grassroots initiatives, movement building, and vulnerable communities most impacted by climate change. True progress, as emphasized by Farhad Ebrahimi, requires broad community engagement. Learn more at climateone.org.
