Our planet is in distress. Persistently careless, shortsighted human activities now threaten every part of the biosphere, including the well-being of our own species. For many who are sensitive to the condition of our planet and to the required sustainability transition, it is becoming difficult not to lose heart.
Bad news seems to accumulate exponentially. Frequent and increasing warnings by scientists and international expert panels are materializing, as evident in the looming threats of climate change, including floods, longer droughts, raging fires, storms of increasing frequency and severity, degradation of whole ecosystems, loss of precious biodiversity, compromised water sources, and more.
This is why we decided to launch our new blog, The Climate Uplift.
Edited by The Lab’s Carmel Coblence, our blog will highlight exciting stories from around the world that show a promise to advance the sustainability agenda: innovations in technology, community development, green economics, ecosystem restoration and conservation, corporate practices, development projects, individuals’ initiatives, and other relevant topics.
The purpose is to showcase groundbreaking stories that will inspire commitment, determination, and hope, and encourage a collaborative, broad-based design revolution that will establish the concept of sustainability as the organizing principle on our planet.
If you have any significant stories you would like to share, please send them to us for consideration for our blog.
Thank you and enjoy!
