Introduction by bryant terry, artist, chef, publisher and author.

The right to food and the right to land are fundamental to human freedom, dignity, and self-determination, but locally and globally, land and food have been leveraged as tools of oppression. Fortunately, they can also be portals for liberation. Renowned groundbreaking Black Kreyol farmer and food justice activist, Leah Penniman, founder of Soul Fire Farm and author of Farming While Black, offers us living proof that when Land is reunited with her people, mutual thriving can flourish in the form of solutions to climate chaos and food apartheid. Even in this era of intense state repression, community self-determination and solidarity can be foundational to building a powerful movement for land and food sovereignty.

This talk was delivered at the 2026 Bioneers Conference.

Introduction by Anna Lappé, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for the Future of Food.

As we today once again face the aggression of authoritarian oligarchy, there is a great deal we can learn from how food workers confronted fascism a century ago. Socialist and anarchist movements around the world gave birth to innovative solidarity strategies that permitted them to survive a fascist onslaught, care for their communities, and put food on the table in times of disease and war. Raj Patel, one of the world’s leading experts on sustainable food systems and a tireless advocate for food justice, shares what his research about these inspiring movements tells us about how we too can draw on the best human impulses to build economic systems built on solidarity and mutual aid.

This talk was delivered at the 2026 Bioneers Conference.

Raj Patel, an award-winning author, film-maker and academic, is a Research Professor in the Lyndon B Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin who has worked for the World Bank and WTO but also protested against them around the world and testified about the causes of the global food crisis to the US, UK and EU governments. A member of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems and of the council of Progressive International, he has written extensively for a range of scholarly journals in economics, philosophy, politics and public health and also contributes frequently to a range of other publications, including The Guardian, Financial Times, New York Times, and Scientific American.

Introduction by Manuel Pastor, Director of the Equity Research Institute at USC.

With federal incursions tearing through communities from coast to coast and huge new detention centers coming online, it is understandable that many of us could feel overwhelmed and powerless in the light of such frightening, massive shows of force, but, as we’ve seen, some communities are courageously rising up to defend their neighbors. According to the nationally-recognized community organizer, bestselling author, Director of the Shared Future initiative, and co-founder of the national network of immigrant youth, United We Dream, Cristina Jiménez Moreta, this is a tipping point moment, and we need to draw from examples of historic change that started in the margins of society before conquering the mainstream to inspire us to join together and build a new consensus in our nation that celebrates immigrants’ enormous contributions and supports their rights.

Introduction by Kenny Ausubel, Bioneers Co-Founder and CEO.

Brett KenCairn, founding Director of the Center for Regenerative Solutions, an early leader in community-based living systems regeneration, challenges the conventional understandings of the causes and solutions of climate change and its fixation on carbon and technology. He illustrates through both recent science and our own direct experience that it is the degradation of the living world that is at the center of both how we have destabilized the climate, and how we can solve not only the climate crisis, but also reverse biodiversity loss and regenerate healthy human communities. He shows that we are living on a planet operating at half its photosynthetic capability—illustrating both the dire reality of our current situation but also the foundation of hope. 

Pointing to numerous examples of human communities reversing large scale landscape degradation—including the reversal of the Dust Bowl in the U.S. in the 1930s, the restoration of the Rhode Island-sized Loess Plateau in China in the 1990s, and examples of similar activities taking place around the world now—Brett points to our ability to build a global movement, community-by-community, to harness nature’s power to regenerate landscapes at a scale.  Through coordinated community-based action, these efforts can stabilize climate, generate hundreds of millions of jobs, generate trillions of dollars in economic opportunity, reverse biodiversity loss, and reboot the biosphere’s productive capabilities.

Introduction by Suzanne Simard, the Project Lead for The Mother Tree Project and Program.

Western science has long resisted and even ridiculed the idea that our planet is alive, but many scientists now recognize that Earth and life continually coevolve and that, together, they form a single, interconnected, living system. Ferris Jabr, NYT bestselling author and one of our most celebrated scientific writers, explains how, over billions of years, microbes, plants, fungi, and animals radically altered the continents, oceans, and atmosphere, transforming what was once a lump of orbiting rock into our cosmic oasis. Life breathed oxygen into the atmosphere, dyed the sky blue, made fire possible, converted barren crust into fertile soil, and perhaps even helped construct the continents. Over time, life became critical to the planet’s capacity to regulate its climate and maintain balance. Life is Earth and Earth is life.

This talk was delivered at the 2026 Bioneers Conference.

Ferris Jabr, a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, is the author of the bestselling Becoming Earth, which reviewers have described as an “infectiously poetic” “masterwork” that “earns its place alongside the best of today’s essential popular science books.” Ferris has also written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, National Geographic, and Scientific American and has received fellowships and grants from Yale, MIT, UC Berkeley, the Pulitzer Center, and the Whiting Foundation. His work has been anthologized in four editions of The Best American Science and Nature Writing series.

Introduction by Zephyr Teachout, Professor of Law at Fordham Law School.

Renowned science fiction author, activist and journalist Cory Doctorow coined the term “enshittification” in 2022 to describe the degradation of online platforms. Drawing from his most recent nonfiction book, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It, he assures us that it’s not our imaginations: the internet does indeed suck now. And this isn’t the result of great historical forces or iron laws of economics: it’s caused by specific policy choices made in living memory by named individuals, but Cory argues that we aren’t helpless prisoners of the depraved foolishness of early 21st century policymakers. We can – and we must – break free of the prison they built for us, consigning their terrible ideas to the scrap-heap of history, so we can create a new, good internet that is fit to serve as the digital nervous system of this fraught young century.

This talk was delivered at the 2026 Bioneers Conference.

Cory Doctorow, a renowned, award-winning science fiction author, activist, and journalist, is the author of dozens of books, most recently, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It, (nonfiction); and the novels Picks and Shovels and The Bezzle. His other notable books include the “solar-punk” novels Walkaway and The Lost Cause, and the tech policy books The Internet Con and Chokepoint Capitalism. Cory also: maintains a daily blog at Pluralistic.net; works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation; and is: an AD White Professor at Cornell University; an MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate; a Visiting Professor of Computer Science at Open University; a Visiting Professor of Practice at the University of North Carolina’s School of Library and Information Science; and a co-founder of the UK Open Rights Group.

Today’s Climate Protest at NC Governor’s Mansion Begins Campaign of Civil Disobedience

Scientists, elected officials, storm survivors escalate demand that Gov. Josh Stein halt Duke Energy’s “crimes against humanity” as hurricane-heatwave season looms

Durham, NC – Despite global heating and human suffering both accelerating toward a point of no return, one of the world’s worst climate polluters is massively expanding the use of fossil fuels while suppressing a transition to clean power. Today, prominent climate experts, storm survivors and elected officials demand that Gov. Stein stop what they call Duke Energy’s “crimes against humanity” instead of acting as the corporation’s accomplice.

The community leaders say they feel morally compelled to peacefully risk being arrested in order to challenge the greater crimes committed by decision-makers at the Charlotte-based polluter. They say the state’s top elected official must finally begin telling North Carolinians the truth about Duke Energy’s role in driving the global climate crisis – and use his powerful voice and authority to change the polluter’s climate- and rate-wrecking expansion.

Jim Warren, executive director of NC WARN, said today, “Duke Energy executives are committing crimes against humanity, and Gov. Stein needs to finally stop them. He is complicit in their crimes by echoing Duke’s 50-year pattern of corporate deception by claiming this state is a clean energy leader and supporting Duke’s totally meaningless goal of being “carbon neutral” by 2050 while ignoring its planned 12,000 megawatt fossil fuel expansion.”

Despite the science showing worldwide temperatures surging past limits deemed crucial by climate scientists, Duke Energy plans the largest US buildout of power generation from both fracked gas and experimental nuclear plants while blunting the growth of clean, affordable solar and wind power. 

The protesters cite their moral duty to act in support of communities, workers, farmers and others being hurt first and worst by weather extremes and soaring power bills. Those people are now facing another potentially horrific storm and heatwave season – on top of record-breaking drought and an ongoing increase in wildfires. 

Over 60 scientists have openly pressed Stein to help stop Duke’s climate-wrecking trajectory. But the Governor has so far ignored their warning that, “It’s really an emergency … to use all the levers we can to push Duke Energy away from this fossil fuel path,” as emphasized by globally prominent Duke University climatologist Drew Shindell in recent video ads. Dozens of state and local elected officials have joined the call, as have over 300 businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Bobby Jones, a statewide environmental justice leader from Goldsboro, said “The stressors of living in what has become Hurricane Alley haunt us. There is no way for us to escape its climate disasters and harm. As a key cause of the global climate crisis, Duke Energy keeps raising our rates to build dirty and dangerous power plants, thus forcing us to pay for our own demise. We need Governor Stein to stand in the gap on our behalf; stop Duke Energy’s crimes against humanity and against the good people of North Carolina.” 

Since the 1990s, eastern North Carolina has been devastated by multiple hurricanes, other torrential rains and, increasingly, heat waves and droughts that harm farmers, residents, outdoor workers, forests and wildlife. Recent storms have similarly devastated western and central parts of the state. 

Despite the recurring disasters, North Carolina seems dominated by a “business as usual” mindset based on unfettered growth.

As NC WARN told the Governor recently, “The climate science community continues releasing extremely troubling news about the global failure to avoid accelerated warming as humanity approaches a point of no return – even as a soaring number of people and wildlife are already being devastated.”

Warren added today, “For decades Duke Energy has owned our state’s governors, legislators and regulators. As global heating grows increasingly desperate, Governor Stein must break free and act on behalf of North Carolinians – particularly those already suffering – as scientists demand sweeping changes by 2030.”

As the 61 scientists told Stein last year: “We implore you to lead in the transition away from fossil fuels and to the renewable, resilient, equitable, affordable, and sustainable energy future that humanity desperately needs.”

STATEMENTS

Dr. Susan Crate, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Dept of Environmental Science & Policy, George Mason University 

“I am here today because of the urgency of us doing everything we can to reverse climate change. … We are calling on Governor Stein to stop being Duke Energy’s accomplice and to call them out and demand what all North Carolinians deserve! Rapid development of renewables and the phasing out of dirty fuels!”

Gary Phillips, businessman, pastor and the former Chair of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners

“I’m taking the extraordinary step today of facing arrest if necessary because my faith demands that I not allow a wrong to go unanswered. Duke Energy’s actions in North Carolina, its continual assault against nature and the people of North Carolina, its perfidious pursuit after power and profit, have called us here as witnesses to form a stumbling block against their continual actions against our lands, our people and our natural progress.”

Dale Evarts, former head of the Climate and International Group at the US Environmental Protection Agency

“Our climate is no longer stable. … It is beyond anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes. Each year new records are set for temperatures and the costs of climate-related damage. Other countries I’ve worked with don’t doubt climate science. They know that fossil fuels are causing enormous damage and are turning to renewable energy to save money, avoid costly wars, and stabilize our planet’s climate at the same time. But here in the U.S. and in North Carolina, Duke Energy is blocking the changes needed to ensure a future climate that will keep our families and kids safe for generations to come. This is immoral and it is a crime. So I am calling on Governor Stein to stop Duke’s massive fossil fuel expansion and to lead our state towards clean, safe, reliable, affordable, renewable energy.”

Keval Kaur Khalsa, retired Duke University professor and longtime yoga instructor

“Duke Energy and Governor Stein claim that North Carolina is a “clean energy leader.” In fact, Duke Energy has been running their greenwashing and climate deception campaign for 50 years. This is madness, and I’m here calling on Gov. Stein to stop the madness now. … We are in a climate emergency, and when faced with an emergency, we need action now. Gov. Stein – we need you to stand up to Duke Energy, to stand up for us – to take action now.”

“Free sun energy solutions have been available to Duke Energy for decades and they outright refuse to invest in them. They instead produce snazzy commercials and marketing campaigns to gaslight all of us, trying to convince everyone they are pursuing clean, green, energy, while they instead continue to ramp up gas and coal. Our government still does nothing to hold Duke Energy accountable. … I call on Governor Stein to act. To move against the corrupt, dirty agenda that Duke Energy has us all saddled with and use your executive authority as Governor of North Carolina to force Duke Energy to change course today!”

Jim Warren, Executive Director of NC WARN

“It’s like science fiction: Instead of the actual ‘clean energy transition’ it has touted for years, Duke Energy leads the US in expanding fossil fuels. … We must stop this runaway train before the world’s corporate psychopaths wipe out life on Earth, and our Governor must take the lead.”

An additional statement was made by Sara Heilman, Energy Policy Coordinator at NC WARN

“We have a unique opportunity here in our state, where Duke Energy is headquartered, to change the course of one the largest and most insidious polluting entities in the world. Changing Duke Energy could mean a major difference in the future that young people are facing. Will our Governor continue to protect this massive corporate polluter, or will he be brave, and stand up for that future?”

Now in its 38th year, NC WARN is building people power in the climate and energy justice movement to persuade or require Charlotte-based Duke Energy – one of the world’s largest climate polluters – to make a quick transition to renewable, affordable power generation and energy efficiency in order to avert climate tipping points and ongoing rate hikes.

DEMAND UTOPIA, a solarpunk podcast
Season 6, Episode 3

Welcome back to Demand Utopia, a podcast from Solarpunk Magazine about radical hope and building the futures we deserve.

I’m your host, Justine Norton-Kertson, and today I want to talk about a phrase that belongs at the center of climate politics: a working-class climate agenda.

Not a consumer climate agenda. Not a guilt-based climate agenda. Not a “buy this expensive thing and call yourself green” agenda. Not a climate agenda that begins and ends with emissions targets and policy acronyms that never reach anyone’s kitchen, bus stop, paycheck, or grocery budget.

Today, The Guardian covered a Climate and Community Institute proposal called “Stop Greed, Build Green.” Its argument is simple: climate policy shouldn’t compete with affordability. It should be one of the ways we achieve affordability.

The proposal connects the climate crisis directly to the cost-of-living crisis, arguing that decarbonization has to become tangible through lower bills, better housing, public transit, public investment, and democratic control.

One of the ongoing arguments we make at Solarpunk Magazine is that solarpunk isn’t just a visual style. Rooftop gardens, pretty transit, glowing windows, and plant-covered buildings matter because they help us imagine something other than gray austerity or techno-dystopia.

But as I talked about in our episode on aesthetics, we can’t stop at the image. Solarpunk has to ask: Who lives there? Who owns it? Who can afford the rent? Who rides the train? Who grows the food? Who controls the grid? Who benefits?

Because if the future has solar panels and a 100% carbon neutral economy, but people are still choosing between groceries and electricity, that isn’t utopia. It‘s cleaner-looking exploitation.

For years, climate politics has often been presented as sacrifice: use less, drive less, fly less, eat differently, buy better appliances, replace your car, replace your stove, replace your habits, replace your life.

Some of those changes may be necessary. But that framing makes climate action sound like one more bill ordinary people are expected to pay. It tells exhausted people that the future depends on them becoming more disciplined consumers. That’s a disastrous way to build a movement.

Most people are already rationing money, time, rest, medical care, pleasure, risk, and hope as best as they can without having a complete break in their santiy. So when climate politics arrives as another demand for individual sacrifice, it can feel less like liberation and more like scolding.

A working-class climate agenda flips the question. It doesn’t begin by asking: how can we convince people to consume less? It begins by asking: why is life so expensive, so precarious, so energy-intensive, and so dependent on extractive corporations in the first place? Why are people forced into car dependency because public transit has been underfunded? Why are people living in drafty, overheated, energy-wasting homes because landlords and markets have no incentive to provide safe housing? Why do utility bills, insurance costs, and food prices rise while fossil fuel companies, corporate landlords, and speculators continue to profit? Why is “green choice” so often available only to people who can afford an electric car, a heat pump, solar panels, or high-end organic groceries?

That’s where solarpunk becomes political in the best sense. Not partisan branding or empty ideology, but politics as the design of everyday life. A solarpunk climate agenda wouldn’t ask working people to carry the transition on their backs. It would rebuild the systems around them so that the low-carbon choice is also the cheaper choice, the easier choice, the healthier choice, and the more beautiful choice.

Imagine if decarbonization looked like your utility bill going down.

Imagine if it looked like buses that came every ten minutes and cost nothing at the point of use.

Imagine if it looked like public housing retrofits that made apartments cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and healthier year-round.

Imagine if it looked like resilience hubs where people could charge medical devices, cool down during heat waves, access food, and be cared for.

Imagine if it looked like union jobs manufacturing heat pumps, buses, trains, solar panels, and the infrastructure of repair.

That’s the difference between climate policy as austerity and climate policy as a framework of abundance. Solarpunk abundance doesn’t mean endless consumption, infinite growth, private jets, or disposable gadgets. It means enoughness. It means enough housing, food, shade, clean water, transit, healthcare, public space, safety, community, beauty, and time to be fully human.

That’s not the abundance of extraction. It’s a society deciding basic needs shouldn’t be scarce. That’s why “Stop Greed, Build Green” is such a useful phrase. It names both sides of the work. You can’t only build green while leaving greed untouched. That’s how you get luxury eco-condos, greenwashed corporate campuses, boutique sustainability, and electric SUVs marketed as global salvation.

But you also can’t stop greed without building alternatives. That’s how critique curdles into despair. It’s not enough to say the current system is bad. We have to build the public, cooperative, democratic, ecological systems that can replace it.

Stop greed means naming the forces that make life expensive: fossil fuel companies, corporate landlords, utility monopolies, private equity, insurance companies, and a political economy organized around shareholder returns instead of public well-being.

Build green means creating the material infrastructure of a better life: public power, social housing, free transit, home repairs, renewable energy, union manufacturing, care infrastructure, food systems, and climate adaptation that reaches people before disaster does.

This is also a narrative lesson. One reason climate politics has struggled is that it’s often been communicated at the wrong scale. Global temperature targets are important. But most people don’t experience the climate crisis as a graph. They experience it as smoke in the air, an electric bill, a flooded basement, a canceled shift, asthma, rising rent, the bus not coming, food prices rising, or a grandmother afraid to turn on the air conditioner.

So the politics has to meet people there. The planetary scale matters, but it becomes real through the household, neighborhood, and workplace, through the school, bus route, clinic, apartment building, grocery store, and utility bill.

A working-class climate agenda says climate is not a side issue. Climate is inside the cost of living. For decades, opponents have framed climate action as a luxury concern: higher prices, fewer jobs, less freedom, more regulation, and elite moralism. But what if the opposite is true? What if fossil fuels make life expensive? What if car dependency traps people in debt? What if private utilities raise bills? What if bad housing wastes energy? What if climate disasters make insurance unaffordable? What if the so-called cheap system is cheap only because the real costs are hidden, delayed, subsidized, or dumped onto working people?

That’s where solarpunk can speak clearly. Solarpunk says: the future should not be a luxury product. The future should be public. Public goods aren’t as glamorous as consumer technology. A bus system doesn’t have the marketing budget of an electric car company. Weatherized public housing doesn’t get the mythic treatment of a billionaire’s rocket.

But this is exactly where the future lives: in the boring, beautiful, essential systems that make ordinary life possible. A good bus line is climate policy. A rent cap after a disaster is climate policy. A public cooling center is climate policy. A heat pump in a low-income apartment is climate policy. A school kitchen serving local meals is climate policy. Tree canopy is climate policy. Public power is climate policy. A tenant union is climate policy. A library resilience hub is climate policy.

This is where solarpunk becomes touchable. The Guardian piece highlights the idea of “climate policy you can touch,” policies whose benefits people can actually feel in their lives, such as lower bills, expanded heat pump access, union-built affordable EVs, and free electric buses.

That’s exactly the kind of thing solarpunk needs to focus on. The aesthetic version of solarpunk gives us images we can look at. The political version gives us systems we can live inside. And when those systems work, people defend them. Climate policy that people can’t see, feel, or connect to survival is fragile. But climate policy that lowers your bill, fixes your apartment, gets your kid to school, keeps your elder alive in a heat wave, gives you a good job, and makes your neighborhood safer is harder to demonize. People can point to it and say, “No, this is helping me.”

This working-class climate framing asks a crucial question: how do we make the transition immediate enough that people can feel it before backlash destroys it?

That’s a strategic question, but it’s also a moral one. People need help now: lower bills, safe housing, transportation, disaster protection, food, cooling, healthcare. Climate action that asks people to wait decades for benefits while costs rise today won’t build the coalition we need. 

So what would it mean for solarpunk writers, artists, organizers, and readers to take this seriously? First, we should be suspicious of futures that are beautiful but economically vague. If a story shows us a lush green city but doesn’t ask who owns the land, how housing works, how care is provided, and how decisions are made, then it may be giving us a mood rather than a model. That doesn’t mean every solarpunk story has to be a policy paper. Fiction needs character, conflict, beauty, weirdness, surprise. But the questions matter.

Second, solarpunk should focus more on repair than novelty: existing homes, today’s bus routes, school meals, community kitchens, soil restoration, food co-ops, farmworker power, utility democracy, public maintenance, cooling centers, battery backups, tenant associations, shaded streets, repaired roofs. Those things are more valuable than shiny new tech when it comes to building a better future.

Third, we need to stop treating “working class” as a rhetorical accessory. A working-class climate agenda isn’t just climate policy with better messaging. It has to change who has power. That means unions, tenant organizations, public ownership, community governance, participatory planning, Indigenous sovereignty, disability justice, racial justice, rural communities, migrant workers, care workers, and all of the people who live in the systems being redesigned, because if climate policy is designed for people but not with people, it can still reproduce hierarchy. And solarpunk, at its best, is about people collectively remaking the conditions of life.

That’s why this story warrants particular attention today. Because “Stop Greed, Build Green” gives us a phrase for something solarpunk has always been trying to say: The climate transition shouldn’t feel like punishment. It should feel like getting your life back. It should feel like a cool home, a bus that arrives, a job that doesn’t destroy your body or the planet, public luxury instead of private escape.

And yes, there will be sacrifices. The wealthy will have to sacrifice excess. Corporations will have to sacrifice power. Fossil fuel executives will have to sacrifice profits. But ordinary people shouldn’t be asked to sacrifice survival for a livable future. They should be invited into a politics that says “You deserve more than this. You deserve systems that care whether you live or die. You deserve a future that isn’t rented back to you at a markup.”

That, to me, is the solarpunk case for a working-class climate agenda. It’s not climate as homework. It’s climate as housing, transit, food, public power, care, repair, democracy, and the right to live well without destroying the world.

So the core question for today is this: What would climate policy look like if it started not with abstract targets, but with rent, groceries, utilities, transit, and ordinary people’s daily lives?

I think it would look less like asking people to buy their way into sustainability, and more like building a world where sustainability is the default because justice is built into the infrastructure. That’s the future worth demanding. That’s the utopia worth organizing toward. And that’s why we don’t just need to build green. We need to stop greed, too.

I hope you have a wonderful day. And remember, the future doesn’t have to be smaller, meaner, and more expensive. The future can be public, shared, and livable. But only if we demand it.

Last week, the majority right-wing U.S. Supreme Court dealt the last death blow to the 1965 Voting Rights Act, a seminal piece of civil rights legislation that tried to right the centuries of wrong we have committed against fellow Black and nonwhite Americans. But, as we see regularly from the strike line to our state houses to the White House, when working people fight together in unbreakable solidarity, we win.
