The science is clear – climate change is here, and it’s not pretty. Droughts, wildfires, storms, floods, sea level rise… you name it. The good news is that we already have the knowledge, and the know-how, to turn the tide toward a more sustainable future. What is needed is the political will to act. It will take all of us, working together, to turn this vision into a reality.
