John Perkins, co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, discusses the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, an indigenous prophecy told by first peoples all over the world about a time dominated by an intellectual, masculine, mind-driven consciousness, which is followed by an opportunity for balance between that consciousness and one that is heart-driven, intuitive and feminine.

At #COP28 in Dubai, Raya Salter and Carlos Garcia host a panel of experts to examine the impact of #MilitaryOperations on the climate. At a time when humanity needs to focus on the restoration of land and water, wars around the planet are destroying cities, lives and ecosystems. Peace is essential for keeping the climate system from catastrophic failure. Tamara Lorincz tells us the amount of money that flows to military operations, and its resource extraction, is over two trillion dollars annually. While Dr. Amara Eniya explains how debt, compunded by droughts and floods that are the direct result of the #ClimateCrisis, is crippling many nations who struggle to provide for the basic needs of their people. John D. Liu is the voice of Commonland, the restoration efforts that are being accomplished around the world, bringing back land and hydrological cycles.

COP has shown that endlessly discussing how to mitigate and adapt to human induced climate change is a failed process. Instead we need to effectively act as a species on a planetary scale to restore natural ecological function. With over 80 large restoration projects around the world, John D. Liu is working with thousands of people to do just that. Nick Breeze, author of COPOUT, and John explore dynamic possibilities for protecting earth’s vital systems. An inspiring clip from the film, The Flourishing Path, with #JaneGoodall is included in this program from COP29 in Baku.

This talk draws upon Sue's experience of studying wild rabbits for her PhD and calls for a return to the bio-abundance of the past, partly through a rethinking of housing policy - by viewing houses as homes rather than investment opportunities Sue has served her home town of Wallingford as both a Town Councillor and later, a District Councillor, as well as being involved in the Transport Group of Sustainable Wallingford. As an environmental campaigner she fights overdevelopment and loss of communal facilities, working towards a new target for nature restoration (back to the ‘50s) to nurture our precious land for climate control and for nature, whilst building homes for need not greed. She holds a doctorate from Oxford University on the social behaviour of wild rabbits, a once familiar sight in the UK, but sadly now on the endangered species Red List. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
