Despite scientific consensus on human-caused climate change, political rhetoric, such as President-elect Trump's "hoax" claim, emboldens denial. This fuels public anxiety over potential fossil fuel expansion and the reversal of climate progress, a significant shift from past bipartisan support.

Join us for an informative look at how climate change became so divisive. Climate scientist Michael Mann and cartoonist Tom Toles offer a satirical perspective, while science journalist Cristine Russell discusses the politicization of science. Psychologist Renee Lertzman explores the psychology of denial, aiming to foster common ground and solutions.

System transformation begins by mapping key leverage points for change. Discover how Nike and Health Care Without Harm are driving significant improvements. Nike is eliminating hazardous chemical discharge from its supply chain by 2020, while Health Care Without Harm has built a collaborative network of 450 organizations across 52 countries to transform the healthcare industry. Both initiatives aim to enhance environmental and health outcomes, alongside their bottom lines.

These insights were shared at the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship, which unites leading social entrepreneurs with essential partners to accelerate learning, leverage, and large-scale social change.

Stand Down events are crucial initiatives designed to help traumatized Veterans overcome homelessness and reintegrate into society. These three-day gatherings provide essential medical, dental, and legal services, but their primary impact lies in restoring a vital sense of community. Founder Dr. John Natchison aptly describes them as a "drug-free Woodstock combined with Maslow's hierarchy of needs and a family picnic."

With over 300 events across the U.S., Stand Down mobilizes 2,000 volunteers to welcome 1,000 Veterans at each session. Recognizing that Veterans disproportionately experience trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, and homelessness, these events foster the community and connection necessary for them to recover their purpose and passion.
