Is there a direct relationship between climate anxiety and privilege, and does it actually help us adapt effectively to a future of Worsening wildfires, rising seas, extreme heat, flooding, and drought? Politicians, business leaders and tens of millions of residents will need to work a lot harder — and be willing to accept a tomorrow that looks different than today.

9:45 AM: LIFESTYLE AND SUSTAINABILITY
Fast fashion, fast food and fast delivery: How our love of convenience and unbridled consumerism is destroying our world. Our use of non-recyclable plastics, petroleum- based clothing and obsolescence-prone technology may inspire pangs of guilt, but we just can’t give them up.

10:45 AM: CLIMATE ACTIVISM, YOUTH AND THE BIRTH OF RAGE
Younger climate activists are growing increasingly militant as they prepare to make their lives in the warming world that older generations have left them. At what point do young people decide on a path of action, and does it involve throwing paint on treasured artwork or engaging politicians and corporate chiefs? Do they believe anyone is listening?
