Al Gore criticized leaders at the January 2023 Davos forum for climate inaction, emphasizing how fossil fuel-based economies are pushing us toward the IPCC's worst scenarios. Daily, 16 million tons of greenhouse gases enter the troposphere, a number that continues to climb.

While we appreciate Gore's vital passion, it's also crucial to address animal agriculture alongside fossil fuel reduction.

On November 5, WECAN Executive Director Osprey Orielle Lake addressed the GLOBE COP26 Legislators Summit at the Scottish Parliament. She urged global leaders to reject false solutions, advocating for climate justice, Indigenous rights, keeping fossil fuels in the ground, and greater inclusion of women and frontline communities in decision-making.

Lake highlighted that current country commitments fall short of the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree target. She presented a "Call to Action" from the Global Women's Assembly for Climate Justice, outlining how existing frameworks can achieve this goal. This call represents millions of women and feminists worldwide.

Join us for an online talk with acclaimed environmental journalist Eugene Linden, author of nine non-fiction books. He will discuss his new book, *Fire and Flood*, which examines how business interests have historically obscured scientific warnings and hindered climate action. Linden, whose *Winds of Change* won the Grantham Prize, previously covered environmental issues for *Time*.

In *Fire and Flood*, Linden reveals how big money prioritizes short-term profits over long-term threats. He details the insurance industry's dramatic shift, now retreating from high-risk regions like Florida and California due to unmanageable fire and flood risks. This signals a broader business awakening to the urgent need for rapid climate action as long-term consequences become immediate.

Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac outline two distinct futures for 2050: one if we fail to meet Paris Agreement climate targets, and another if we achieve a carbon-neutral, regenerative

Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac outline two distinct futures for 2050: one if we fail to meet Paris Agreement climate targets, and another if we achieve a carbon-neutral, regenerative world. They emphasize that immediate action is crucial to address our climate emergency, presenting this as our final, defining choice.

Figueres, a Costa Rican diplomat with 35 years of experience, served as Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change from July 2010. Her extensive background highlights the urgency of this pivotal moment.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for climate change assessment. Established in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), its mission is to provide a clear scientific view on climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. The UN General Assembly endorsed its formation.

The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability," was published on March 31, 2014.
