Green Energy: Scaling the Solution

The path forward

Cutting fossil fuel emissions is the core fix. But new energy projects must not encroach on protected ecosystems.

Human activity, primarily fossil fuels, is driving intensifying extreme weather ([UN SDGs](https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/climate-change/))
