Bioneers' co-founder and Chief Relationship Strategist Nina Simons traditionally sets the stage for each year’s conference, and does it again with sublime clarity and heart-warming passion, as she frames Bioneers’ history and its core values rooted in reverence for the natural world and biological and human diversity and stresses the need to balance the inner and outer in our quest to give birth to a new civilization based on relationships rather than the possession of things.

Nalleli Cobo, now 20, began her impactful Environmental Justice activism at age 9, years before Greta Thunberg's school strike. Living across from an oil drilling site in South Los Angeles, she and her community suffered severe health issues, including heart palpitations, headaches, and nosebleeds so intense she had to sleep sitting up.

Cobo became a leading voice demanding the site's closure, evolving into an internationally renowned, award-winning Environmental Justice activist. She shares her journey, the ongoing struggles in disenfranchised communities, the high price paid, and how local efforts connect to the global fight for Climate Justice.
