State of The Earth 2024
Many countries and companies annually share news with their constituents and stakeholders about how they are performing. These State of the Union or State of the Corporation meetings project how that entity is doing, and what lies ahead. But we rarely have a State of the Earth, in which we collectively focus on the planet: how robust it is, how vulnerable it is, and what is happening to address those strengths and weaknesses. We will address thoughts from four different sectors (the four Ps): People, Planet, Policy, and Purpose. Guests will report on their own activities in these sectors and discuss their attempts to improve sustainable measures in their corners, and then we’ll have a wider discussion on what we all can do to create a more resilient and equitable Earth.

THE SAN ONOFRE BRIEFING: The Latest on SoCal's Shut Down Nuclear Power Plant
What does it mean for a nuclear plant to be decommissioned? What’s the status of the nuclear waste currently stored on site at San Onofre? What concerns does the public need to be aware of? Is San Onofre safe? As advocates for a safe and sustainable future for Southern California, SLF is thrilled to present, "The San Onofre Briefing: The Latest on SoCal's Shut Down Nuclear Power Plant." This is a comprehensive exploration of the recent developments surrounding the decommissioning of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. Our expert panel – including a retired Admiral of the U.S. Navy and the Former Chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission – delve into the current status, environmental impact, and public health implications of the shut down nuclear site.

The Climate Conversation: Media's Impact on Civic Action
With “climate change” a hot-button phrase that brings backlash and even death threats, how can reporters and meteorologists do their job — ensure that the public is engaged and informed? Meteorologist and climate scientist Chris Gloninger didn't just want to warn people about the latest record-breaking storms. He wanted to talk about the science behind the changing weather. As scientists draw ever-clearer connections between climate change and extreme weather, Gloninger believes meteorologists should present this science to viewers. Award-winning meteorologists Lauren Casey of Climate Central and John Morales of NBC Miami agree. Listen to this conversation with The Samuel Lawrence Foundation and moderator Lance Gould of Brooklyn Story Lab as these meteorologists and climate defenders come together to describe the challenges the media faces when reporting on climate change, and envision how the media can bridge the gap between scientists and the public to drive climate literacy.
