The Story of Solutions explores how to move our economy toward a sustainable and just future by redefining its core objective. The current "Game of More" prioritizes endless growth—more consumption and infrastructure—despite worsening health, rising inequality, and environmental degradation.

What if our economic goal wasn't just "more," but "better"? Imagine an economy focused on improved health, quality jobs, and a viable planet. This reorientation would redefine what true success means for us all.

Join the Commonwealth Club on October 18, 2021, for a critical discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world seeks to end this public health crisis, businesses are navigating mandates and playing a vital role in community safety and vaccination efforts.

A panel of business and healthcare leaders, generously supported by Kaiser Permanente, will explore how the private sector can collaborate to combat the pandemic and foster economic recovery. They will discuss effective strategies and responses to mandates.

The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's largest public affairs forum, hosts this event. For more information, upcoming events, and to support our mission, visit commonwealthclub.org.

Nature's Genius, a Bioneers podcast, explores how nature's wisdom offers solutions for human civilization and living systems. It posits an "Age of Nature," urging a radical shift in our relationship with the natural world for healing ourselves and the planet.

The series blends Indigenous wisdom and modern science, revealing interconnectedness and time-tested principles from 3.8 billion years of evolution that allow living systems to flourish.

It features scientists, ecologists, Indigenous practitioners, and authors like Brett KenCairn (naturebasedclimate.solutions) and Toby Kiers (spun.earth). They explore nature's inherent intelligence to model sustainable human organization.

Join CCL Education & Engagement Director Brett Cease and CCL Michigan Liaisons Coordinator Lisa DelBuono, MD, for a training on Climate Interactive's En-ROADS climate policy simulator, built with MIT Sloan. This session will review the tool's background, details, and how to host your own simulation events.

Lisa demonstrates sample presentations exploring carbon pricing (e.g., Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act) and other climate strategies. Examples for progressive (video) and conservative (video) audiences highlight impacts on energy, land use, and agriculture.

Access presentation slides (cclusa.org/enroads-update), the En-ROADS Simulator (en-roads.org), and further training (learn.climateinteractive.org). Share your experiences on CCL Community’s Forums (community.citizensclimate.org/forums).

The climate change ship has left the harbor, and what confronts us is the urgent need to accomplish multiple goals simultaneously: reducing and then eliminating greenhouse gas pollution; rapidly scaling up drawdown efforts by returning carbon to the soil; and building the resilience and adaptive capacity in our societal systems to face the multi-pronged crises coming our way. And we must do it all with an equity lens at the center. It’s a tall order, but it’s non-optional. Luckily, there are people and projects all over the country and the world providing effective pathways forward for integrated climate action, using “whole problem” approaches.

By leveraging collaboration across multiple sectors, these visionary leaders are outlining revolutionary blueprints for the next wave of essential work we need to do.

Moderated by Kerry Fugett, Leadership Institute Manager of Daily Acts. With: Trathen Heckman, founder and Director of Daily Acts
Lil Milagro Henriquez, founder and Executive Director of Mycelium Youth Network
Brett KenCairn, Boulder, Colorado’s Senior Policy Advisor for Climate and Resilience and Director of the Urban Drawdown Initiative
