On December 7, 2019, C2G convened a UNFCCC COP25 side event to discuss governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques. Thelma Krug, Vice Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), participated in the panel.

These techniques are being explored within the context of the Paris Agreement and the ocean's role in achieving its goals. However, none are ready for large-scale deployment, posing significant technological and governance challenges that require stakeholder attention.

While the public now grasps the serious threat of global warming, a clear path forward remains elusive. Drawing from his book, *Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work*, Robert Frank proposes that leveraging behavioral contagion can make addressing climate change less daunting than many believe.

Robert H. Frank is the Henrietta Johnson Louis Professor of Management and Professor of Economics at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management. He previously wrote the "Economic View" column for *The New York Times*.

Ecological futurist Tariq Al-Olaimy highlights "spiritual infrastructure" as a key, often-overlooked resilient system. He's observed how faith networks—like church basements and mosque yards—sustain disaster-stricken communities long before formal aid arrives.

Drawing on a decade with global faith coalitions, Al-Olaimy explores why spiritual traditions are uniquely equipped to navigate moments of collapse. He suggests aligning our inner values, economies, and ecosystems is essential for restoring life on a changing planet. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 18, 2025)

Paul Hawken's "Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation" proposes a holistic approach to solving the climate crisis. This framework suggests that regeneration—restoring ecosystems, communities, and planetary health—can heal a "broken world."

The book advocates for placing life and human connection at the center of decision-making to achieve this goal, aiming to resolve the climate crisis within one generation.

Syukuro Manabe delivered his Nobel Prize lecture, "Physical modelling of Earth’s climate," on Wednesday, December 8, 2021. Professor Thors Hans Hansson introduced him.

Manabe shared the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics with Klaus Hasselmann. Their work was recognized for "physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming."

The prize, awarded for "groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems," also saw Giorgio Parisi receive the other half for his discoveries on disorder and fluctuations in physical systems.
