  • Take action: No Senate deal with Big Oil

    by Joëlle Robinson on

    Is the US Senate really preparing to eliminate the ban on crude oil export – threatening our communities and setting back our fight against climate change? And are they really doing so on the same week as the Paris climate conference?

  • 1.5: to stay alive, or same old jive?

    by KC Golden on

    Civil-society climate justice advocates and vulnerable nations may be succeeding in their push for a more aggressive target for limiting global warming. This development shows a shift in power towards the priorities of a massive global climate movement–and it's the news from Paris, as much as the climate agreement text itself.

    Diplomats make progress toward climate pact in Paris

    Global climate pollution bends downward, negotiators lean toward a 1.5˚C warming goal, Financial Standards Board to require that firms disclose their carbon risk, and more news of the week in clean energy solutions.

  • Cities on the move: the Road Through Paris

    by Jonathan Lawson on

    Cities (or "sub-nationals," in international climate negotiations-speak) are at the vanguard of where real climate solutions are being implemented around the world. That will remain true in the years ahead, no matter how ambitious an agreement emerges from the COP21 climate talks in Paris this month--local and state governments will be shouldering much of the load of creative carbon emissions reduction, of energy efficiency improvements, and of access to renewable energy.

  • Paddle!

    by KC Golden on

    Climate advocacy involves a lot of paddling to get to those exciting periods of momentous whitewater. We've had a lot of these lately, roaring past Keystone XL and Shell’s Arctic retreat, and on through the Paris climate talks. We can hear the next big ones ahead--but we've got to keep paddling to get there. This #GivingTuesday, can you lean into your stroke and help us get there? 

Give for a brighter future
