The world is convening in Belém for COP to address climate change, pollution, and their growing societal impacts. The criticisms have already begun—about the venue, the process, and the outcomes. I’ve been a longtime critic myself. But we need a little perspective. Despite its flaws, COP continues to be the only global mechanism that facilitates large-scale, open discussions on climate change, while also fostering some degree of strategic planning and collaboration. Its limit

Two concrete steps we can take today to advance meaningfully in combating climate change. The accelerated warming of the planet—and society’s inability to slow its advance—require a change in course and leadership on the part of both the public and private sectors. Tackling the super pollutant methane , responsible for approximately 40% of global warming , can buy us more time as we develop the long-term low-carbon infrastructure and carbon removal technologies needed to stop

As climate change advances more rapidly than projected, society must come together to respond quickly and decisively. Because we need to slow warming quickly, it has become imperative to prioritize investment into tackling specific greenhouse gases (GHGs) that have higher global warming potentials than others—buying our global community more time to build the low-carbon infrastructure and carbon removal solutions needed to stop and then reverse climate change. The “super poll

As Brazil prepares to host COP30 in Belém this November, the world’s attention naturally turns to the Amazon—the planet’s largest and most vital rainforest. And with good reason. The Amazon is essential to global climate stability and central to Brazil’s identity. Deforestation and burning must be stopped, criminals must be prosecuted, and the bioeconomy must be strengthened. But let’s be clear: as critical as the forests are, we must move beyond trees to solve the climate cr

It's been just two weeks since Climate Week New York (CWNY), and in that short period, two devastating hurricanes—Helene and Milton—have...
