Edgar Winters, Director of the Oregon Agriculture Food and Rural Consortium (OAFRC), advocated for industrial hemp cultivation in Oregon before the Department of Agriculture in January 2015. This discussion was published on February 11, 2015.

On February 12, 2015, Steve Elliott of Hemp News reported that Winters received Oregon's first state permit to grow industrial hemp. Winters and a nonprofit group planned a 25-acre hemp field for that spring.

Climate One drives conversations on energy, economy, and the environment. Join us at The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco to be part of this vital dialogue.

As National Geographic Explorer Sylvia Earle wisely stated, "The most important person to contact on these issues is the person you see in the mirror."

Distinguished speakers have included David Crane (NRG CEO), Lisa Jackson (Apple VP), Ernest Moniz (former U.S. Secretary of Energy), and Gina McCarthy (EPA Administrator), among others.

Session 2 of The Boulder Forum on Economy, Climate and Community explored how public policy perpetuates fossil fuel dependency, a less-considered aspect of climate change. The forum, hosted by the City of Boulder with Bioneers as a partner, features global discussions on the economy's role in climate.

Speakers included Lolita Jackson, former NYC lead climate strategist who shaped the city's energy transition, and Robert Hockett, a Cornell Law professor who advised Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Green New Deal and authored "Financing the Green New Deal." Colorado State Senator Steve Fenberg, a champion of climate legislation, also participated as a local panelist.

Arthur Brooks explains metacognition, the act of "thinking about thinking," and its role in emotional intelligence. By reflecting on our emotional life, we can evaluate signals from the limbic system using our prefrontal cortex. This skill, like telling children to "use their words," helps adults interrogate emotions before reacting, fostering emotional health.

Metacognition is a developable skill; negative emotions are normal and signify a healthy brain. What matters is how we engage with them.

This session, live-streamed during the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Summit21 on June 10, 2021, explored systems-level change. Lucy Parker, Mariana Mazzucato, and James Quincey discussed implementation, followed by Jyrki Katainen highlighting ongoing market transformations. David Rotman, Alan Aspuru-Guzik, and Sheila Kennedy then examined how AI and advanced manufacturing can design ecosystem destruction out of all systems.

David Keith reviews the science and technology of solar geoengineering, examining its potential to reduce climate risks, associated new risks, and current uncertainties. He proposes integrating solar geoengineering into a comprehensive 4D climate policy, which includes emissions cuts, carbon removal, and adaptation.

A distinguished expert, David Keith is a Harvard Professor of Applied Physics and Public Policy. He founded Carbon Engineering, a company developing technology to capture CO2 for carbon-neutral fuels. Best known for his work on solar geoengineering, he led Harvard's Solar Geoengineering Research Program. He has authored over 200 academic publications and "A Case for Climate Engineering."

The session was moderated by Greg Bronevetsky.

Maintaining human well-being across generations is a core sustainability challenge, intrinsically linked to clean air and climate change. Pollutants from sources like power plants and vehicles degrade air quality and drive climate change, which further exacerbates air quality issues. Addressing both simultaneously, with a people-centered approach, is crucial for present and future health.

Noelle Eckley Selin, an MIT Associate Professor, specializes in these interconnected issues. Her research uses atmospheric chemistry modeling to inform decision-making on air pollution, climate change, and hazardous substances. With a Harvard PhD and experience in science-policy interactions, Professor Selin's expertise is vital. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
