Biodiversity loss is moving faster than climate change:
🟢 48% of species are declining
🟢 73% drop in vertebrate populations since 1970
🟢 Up to half of all species could be lost by mid-century
And the economic costs are staggering: www.paulsoninstitute.org/conservation...

One of the most urgent and under-appreciated energy challenges facing the US is the AI race with China. America is in the lead, but Beijing is investing heavily to close the gap. The question for Washington is: Can the US stay ahead without a national energy strategy to power it?

Governments spend more subsidizing nature’s destruction in one month than they do on biodiversity protection in an entire year.

Considering climate solutions in a vacuum is short-sighted and dangerous. Too many of them imperil nature. Solar farms are sited on virgin land. Wind farms continue to be built without simple changes that could prevent millions of bird collisions.

Climate and nature are inseparable. Climate change demands urgent action, but not at nature’s expense.
Nature needs advocates. At this critical crossroads, political will is needed. Action is essential. So is recognition that this work is not optional—it is foundational.
