How will we power our future? Can we create a healthy and clean economy?

Climate One at the Commonwealth Club is at the forefront of the global debate about energy, economy, and the environment.

Bringing together the brightest and most provocative leaders of our time,

Climate One is the place where big ideas get heard.

With thoughtful and insightful discussions on policy, business, science, and culture,

Climate One founder Greg Dalton gets to the heart of the matter. It's our future. It's time to come together.

Welcome to Climate One, a conversation about energy, economy, and environment. To understand any of them,

you have to understand them all. I'm Greg Dalton. Religious leaders of all faiths

have expressed support for reducing carbon pollution that is heating the sky and hitting the earth's

most vulnerable people. Pope Benedict the 16th, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury,

the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, and many others have spoken about the moral imperative

of protecting the earth's beauty

and bounty for future generations. Faith-based communities are also taking action by putting

solar panels on the roofs of churches and temples, insulating drafty houses of worship, and

activating their members. Over the next hour, we'll talk about congregation power with our audience

here at the

Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. We are joined by three religious leaders actively

engaged in creation care. Reverend Sally Bingham is founder of Interfaith Power and Light,

a national advocacy organization, and Rabbi Yonatan Nero, founder and executive director

of the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development in Jerusalem,

and Reverend Donald Eng with the First Chinese Baptist Church here in San Francisco.

Please welcome them to Climate One.
