This is a broad section where you can focus on how climate change interacts with a sector that interests you particularly. You can discover what laws are being passed and what litigation is taking place. You can read about the science and learn about dialoguing with climate deniers. You can celebrate businesses and communities who are stepping up where politics often keep governments from going. You can discover how agriculture affects climate change and how our food is affected by it, not to mention our health. This is a place where you can decide how to invest (or divest) not to mention explore what climate change is costing us, explore new technologies and be startled by the security issues climate change poses. Delve into the complex world of energy from the sources to the transmissions.

The young are inheriting this world and, in many cases, and in many ways, they are stepping up now and throwing their energy into making changes. At home, they are composting, turning lights off, eschewing plastics, and conserving water. At school, they are creating vegetable gardens and climate clubs, lobbying for electric buses and solar panels and learning about regenerative farming. In the world, they are building their own organizations to remove plastics from the oceans, plant billions of trees, protect coral, and they are litigating for the right to a clean energy world. Meet the heroes. Check out the books, films, and activities relevant to them.

This is perhaps the most intense section on our site, packed with curated lists of ORGANIZATIONS – so often our go-to source for the deeper dive, for the nuanced answer to the question, to the scientific information. And, then there are lists of books, films, podcasts, blogs, videos, television, radio, webinars and great Ted Talks in a brilliant LIBRARY section; courses providing bachelors and master degrees; a significant ARTS section with cartoons, infographics not to mention the visual arts, photography and museums focusing on climate change. Of course, there is an impressive glossary and critical reports and papers, from the United Nations critical  IPPC to our own federal NCA reports, along with significant related articles.
