in a Shifting World Order

About the Program         

           Join us for a compelling talk with David Callaway, founder of Callaway Climate Insights and a leading voice at the intersection of climate change, finance, and policy. With decades of experience as a journalist and former editor-in-chief of USA Today, Callaway now focuses on how global markets are responding to the climate crisis—and where they're falling short. His deep insights and engaging style shed light on what governments, businesses, and individuals can do now to prepare for  climate-driven disruptions ahead.

          As the Western world veers toward the right and global powers compete to dominate the AI frontier, climate change solutions once hailed as urgent are now being dismissed as costly, slow, and inconvenient. But the story doesn’t end there. Visionary entrepreneurs and climate-focused investors are rising to meet this new moment—adapting to the geopolitical shift toward “energy security” and leveraging breakthrough technologies to meet the soaring global energy demand.  Join us for an illuminating talk that explores how the climate movement is evolving in real time—and why this next chapter may be the most pivotal yet.  Whether you care about the environment, policy, or truth itself—this is a talk you can’t afford to miss.
