In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at biomimicry. Specifically how biomimicry can not only lead to nature-inspired design for architecture and materials, but also for better relationships, activism, and communities. I draw upon adrienne maree brown's emergent strategy in order to show that nature and the environment can show us how to best navigate a complicated social world.

Following the movie screening we will be hosting a panel discussion with movement leaders on the impacts of oil drilling on rainforest biodiversity and indigenous peoples, as well as its connection to fossil-fuel-polluted communities and climate chaos in California and beyond. SPEAKERS: Ryan Patrick Killackey, Producer, Director, Writer, Cinematographer, YASUNI MAN; Tom Smith - Founding Director, UCLA Center for Tropical Research, Monic Uriarte - member of the coalition Stand Together Against Neighborhood Drilling (STAND-Los Angeles), Grandma Gloria Arellanes - Elder of the Tongva Tribe Moderator - Leila Salazar-López - Executive Director of Amazon Watch California's oil policy matters for the Amazon. Nearly 70% of Ecuador's crude is exported to California refineries. The Trump administration is dismantling the EPA and expanding offshore drilling in the Pacific Ocean. Join us on June 14th to tell Governor Jerry Brown it's his last chance to plan for a managed decline of fossil fuel production!

Charles Clover discusses his latest book "Rewilding the Sea: How to Save Our Oceans", an essential and revelatory book from one of the leading figures in marine conservation, urging us to rethink our relationship with nature, save our oceans and save our own life support system. The world’s oceans have never faced more challenges—from ruthless overfishing, plastic pollution and acidification. And if that wasn’t enough, overfishing is accelerating climate change. The latest scientific research shows that trawling and dredging creates more CO2 than the aviation industry, and damages vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them soaking up carbon. But change is achievable, and change is happening. "Rewilding the Sea" celebrates what happens when fishermen and communities engage with each other and allow nature to repair the damage. Charles Clover is a co-founder of Blue Marine Foundation, an impactful and influential marine conservation charity. Charles made his name as an author and environmental journalist writing principally for The Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph for which he was environment editor for twenty-two years. His book The End of The Line (Ebury, 2004) and the award-winning major documentary film of the same name (presented by Clover) highlighted overfishing as a global problem and inspired the foundation of Blue Marine Foundation.

The distance between our green and brown spaces is increasing more and more. Shneel combines bio-research and architecture to design ‘living spaces that blur the lines between natural and concrete jungles. She also proposes a way to empower small-scale artisan communities to adapt futuristic solutions, through economical and easily available cultural techniques - thus creating a sustainable future city. Shneel Malik is a licensed Architect and an interdisciplinary Biodesign researcher. Currently pursuing her PhD Research as part of the Bio-Integrated Design (Bio-ID) Lab at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. She investigates the design and fabrication of large-scale photosynthetic membranes for applications within Architecture. 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

Physicist Helen Czerski discusses her book Blue Machine: How the Ocean Shapes our World, a deep dive into the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told—that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture. This is the spectacular story of Earth's dynamic ocean. Get the book here: https://goo.gle/3LuCPLP. For more information on Helen, please visit https://www.helenczerski.net/. Helen Czerski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London. As a physicist, she studies the bubbles generated by breaking waves in the ocean to understand their influence on weather and climate. Helen has been a regular presenter of BBC TV science documentaries since 2011 and also hosts the Ocean Matters podcast. She is part of the Cosmic Shambles network and is one of the presenters for the Fully Charged Show. Helen has been a science columnist for the Wall Street Journal since 2017 and she is the author of the bestselling Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life, Bubbles: A Ladybird Expert Book and Blue Machine: How the Ocean Works.

Healthy soil is essential to the future of food production but our planet is losing 24 billion tonnes of fertile soil every year. North Dakota farmer Gabe Brown practices regenerative farming which includes principles and practices to improve soil and promote diversity. By planting a mix of crops, using minimal chemicals, and letting animals graze freely, his family farm is thriving and so are the lands around it. As part of the #OurPlanet initiative we’ve collaborated with the World Economic Forum to show what’s possible when people try to find new ways of tackling climate change and restoring nature. Stay tuned as each week we’ll be bringing you a new inspirational story! Read more: https://wef.ch/pioneersforourplanet #ShareOurPlanet #VoiceForThePlanet
