Cities consume over two-thirds of global energy and generate more than 70% of CO2 emissions. Yet, urban density also offers potential for improved quality of life and reduced carbon footprints through better housing, infrastructure, and planning.

Asif Nawaz Shah, an environmental policy expert from Columbia University, has researched urban and climate issues in New York, Lahore, and Dubai. His focus includes international relations and political economy.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) secured a major victory last week as growing opposition halted the House of Representatives' effort to roll back this vital wildlife protection law. As Executive Director Kierán Suckling notes, the ESA is one of the world's most effective conservation laws, having prevented 99% of protected species, including bald eagles and gray wolves, from extinction.

This triumph benefits countless species like whales, sea turtles, and monarch butterflies, underscoring the power of collective voices. We extend our deepest gratitude to all Center supporters whose advocacy made this win for the wild possible.

Current food production methods are significantly degrading the planet, a problem exacerbated by a rapidly growing global population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. This trend will drastically worsen ecosystem degradation and atmospheric warming.

To alter this trajectory, we must explore alternative food production methods. This session will examine how technology and design, particularly alternative proteins, can help address these critical issues.

Join us to hear from Laura Wellesley, a Research Fellow at Chatham House specializing in alternative proteins, and Daniel Jones, Senior Campaign Manager at Feedback, who will discuss technology's role in developing the food system.
