One month into the US and Israel’s war on Iran, at least 60 countries have taken emergency measures in response to the subsequent global energy crisis, according to analysis by Carbon Brief.
Countries attending a first-of-its-kind summit have walked away with plans to develop national roadmaps away from fossil fuels, along with new tools to address harmful subsidies and carbon-intensive trade.
Modern corporations are legally and financially structured to prioritize profit over ecological stability. The result is a system that normalizes environmental destruction while diffusing responsibility across institutions and individuals.
Efforts to save coral reefs from climate‑driven heatwaves focus on conserving and breeding heat‑resistant corals and harnessing resilient algae and bacteria, offering a test case for conservation in a warming world.
Nate Hagens steps away from analysis and reflects on a call that reframed his thinking. He shares a recent conversation with a close friend living in Lebanon, who, amid ongoing daily violence and loss, has been hosting displaced families and leading meditation practices in her community.
Wetlands, rivers and ecosystems do not stop functioning when legal definitions change. The long-term stability of environmental protection may depend less on enforcement than on cultural attitudes toward nature itself.
