U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm said the energy transition in the U.S. is going “so well—so far!” Since the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, Granholm said the country has seen an “incredible amount of investment” in the clean energy economy. She cited the latest U.S. Energy & Employment Jobs Report, which showed the clean energy sector contributing to hundreds of thousands of new jobs last year. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/wVbiJY9r.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/wVbiJY9r 1561 2024-09-24T03:42:50+00:00 no no https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/OlLR7Wm6/poster.jpg?width=720 How Jacinda Ardern Sees Everyone as a Player in the Climate Fight Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, is prioritizing optimism in the movement to combat the climate crisis—as well as expectation for leaders to do their jobs. If we resign ourselves to destruction, she says, politicians will never act to prioritize sustainability and reversing the effects of climate change. “I have an expectation bias,” the 44-year-old said during a panel, moderated by TIME editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs, at the inaugural Climate Leadership Forum in New York City on Monday. “I expect politicians to do their job, I expect policymakers too, and I expect private institutions as well. We all have to maintain our expectation bias.” https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/OlLR7Wm6.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/OlLR7Wm6 819 2024-09-24T03:42:50+00:00 no no https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/kfSjl1rg/poster.jpg?width=720 How Public and Private Sector Leaders Are Tackling Climate Equity Sharon Lavigne knows first-hand the effects of climate change. At the inaugural TIME100 Climate Leadership Forum in New York City on Monday, the founder, director, and CEO of the faith-based grassroots environmental justice nonprofit RISE St. James Louisiana named her friends, family members, and neighbors who had been diagnosed with or died from cancer in a community that has a high concentration of industrial plants. “We are dying so fast,” Lavigne said, emotion evident in her voice, on a panel moderated by TIME senior correspondent Justin Worland. “The water is polluted; the river that we drink our water from is brown.” Lavigne was joined on stage by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan and Apple’s Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives Lisa Jackson. Regan discussed his mission to incorporate equity into the work of the EPA, emphasizing that equity, justice, and inclusion is a “central pillar” of President Joe Biden’s agenda. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/kfSjl1rg.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/kfSjl1rg 1441 2024-09-24T03:42:50+00:00 no no https://time.com/7023965/lebanon-hezbollah-israel-gaza/ https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/6hhE59k7/poster.jpg?width=720 Biden Says Team is "Working to De-Escalate" Following Israel's Deadly Attacks on Lebanon Israeli strikes on Monday killed hundreds of Lebanese in the deadliest barrage since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war as the Israeli military warned residents in southern and eastern Lebanon to evacuate their homes ahead of a widening air campaign against Hezbollah. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/6hhE59k7.m3u8 https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/6hhE59k7 44 2024-09-23T20:51:15+00:00 no no
