As part of SF Climate Week, Climate One was honored to host two of the 2025 Goldman Environmental Prize winners in an intimate conversation at the Commonwealth Club. These inspiring leaders each bring a deeply heroic story of protecting their community against powerful interests. ​Join Climate One Co-Host Greg Dalton in conversation with Laurene Allen and Carlos Mallo Molina as we explore what compels a few ordinary people to take extraordinary actions to protect our planet — often at great personal risk.

​Carlos Mallo Molina led a global campaign to stop the construction of Fonsalía Port, which was officially canceled by the Canary Islands government in October 2021. The massive recreational boat and ferry terminal threatened a 170,000-acre marine protected area on the island of Tenerife, home to sea turtles, whales, and sharks. Now he is now realizing his vision for a world-class marine conservation and education center.

​Laurene Allen protected thousands of New England families affected by PFAS-contaminated drinking water. Her campaign pressured an industrial giant—responsible for leaking toxic forever chemicals into community drinking water sources—to close in May 2024, marking an end to more than 20 years of rampant air, soil, and water pollution.
