Photographer and climate activist Daylin Paul delivered a powerful TEDx talk advocating for a just transition focused on equality and prosperity, not just green technology. He argues that current development models cause widespread suffering, emphasizing that global shifts like climate change demand a responsible path forward. Paul stresses that survival requires equality and peace demands justice, challenging decisions that undervalue human lives, labor, and materials.

Paul's award-winning work, including his monograph "Broken Land," visually underscores the human cost of these mindsets, with his photographs featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, and other international publications. This impactful discussion was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Published on June 18, 2015, by Democracy Now, this report covers Pope Francis's encyclical on the environment and climate change. In the encyclical (available to download here), Pope Francis called for urgent action to protect the planet, urging leaders to hear "the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor." He emphasized a moral imperative for all to safeguard the environment, advocating for a shift from a "throwaway" consumer culture in rich countries and an end to attitudes that prioritize profit over the common good. A key theme is the disparity between rich and poor, with the Pope noting the vast difference between those in "desperate and degrading poverty" and those with excessive possessions.

The discussion features Naomi Klein, author of "This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate," who was invited to speak at the Vatican's "People and Planet First: The Imperative to Change Course" conference. Also joining is Nathan Schneider, a columnist at America magazine, a national Catholic weekly published by the Jesuits.

Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour, airing weekdays on over 1,300 TV and radio stations. Their livestream is available Monday through Friday, 8-9 am ET.

Amidst global challenges, "A Message From the Future II: The Years of Repair" is an animated short film that dares to envision a radically better future. It portrays 2020 as a historic turning point, where lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic and global anti-racism uprisings drive the creation of a society where everyone is essential and no one is sacrificed.

This sequel to the 2019 Emmy-nominated short film "A Message From the Future" with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, features art by Molly Crabapple and political storytelling by Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, and Opal Tometi. Narrators include Tometi, Emma Thompson, Gael García Bernal, and Nigerian poet Nnimmo Bassey.

The Intercept presents "A Message from the Future," a film narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and illustrated by Molly Crabapple. It envisions a future where a Green New Deal succeeds, rejecting an inevitable climate dystopia. The film asks: what if we chose radical change to save ourselves?

This production tackles skepticism that humanity can achieve such transformative change. It flips the script, showing humanity believing in its ability to save itself. As Ocasio-Cortez says, "our future has not been written yet, and we can be whatever we have the courage to see."
