Much like efforts to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, combatting climate change requires cooperation on a global scale. And yet the history of international climate negotiations shows just how difficult that cooperation can be.

At the same time, new technologies to alter the climate are emerging, posing their own challenges to multilateralism. What, if anything, can we learn from the global response to the pandemic that might aid us in governing new, climate-altering technologies? What functions and mechanisms are needed? How important is leadership in not only responding to, but anticipating and preparing for these global challenges? What role do ethics play in governance decisions?

These are challenges the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) knows well. Their work is focused on catalyzing the creation of effective and inclusive governance for emerging technologies that would seek to deliberately alter the one atmosphere we all share. For the past three years, they've met with senior decision-makers around the world in national governments, the UN system and civil society, urging them to explore questions such as risk management and transparent global monitoring and reporting before events overtake.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every facet of human life. Negative emotions like fear, stress, anxiety and depression are inevitable and can overwhelm even the most optimistic of people. What can we do to nurture our happiness during these unprecedented times?

Dr. Keltner, the professor behind the popular UC Berkeley course "The Science of Happiness" and founding director of the Greater Good Science Center, joins INFORUM to answer that question. He shares stories, tips and resources to help listeners cope with issues like talking to your children about COVID-19, finding connection while social distancing, managing financial stress and much more. Learn not only how to survive during this time of unrest, but how, together, we can thrive in it.

Life on our planet is in imminent danger. Those who have taken the responsibility to understand the growing emergency struggle to maintain emotional and mental resilience in the face of overwhelming catastrophes. Enlivening our connection with nature is essential both for our sanity and for our survival, as is a shift in consciousness from our exploitive view of the world to one of caretaking and restoration.
Eva Jahn, psychotherapist, founded the Climate Emotional Resilience Institute to address this growing societal crisis by providing both coping skills and community. She joins Paul Beckwith and Dale Walkonen in this conversation.
