Bill McKibben is founder of Third Act, which organizes people over the age of 60 for action on climate and justice.

His 1989 book The End of Nature is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change, and has appeared in 24 languages. He’s gone on to write 20 books, and his work appears regularly in periodicals from the New Yorker to Rolling Stone. He serves as the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College, as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he has won the Gandhi Peace Prize as well as honorary degrees from 20 colleges and universities. He was awarded the Right Livelihood Award, sometimes called the alternative Nobel, in the Swedish Parliament. Foreign Policy named him to its inaugural list of the world’s 100 most important global thinkers.

McKibben helped found 350.org, the first global grassroots climate campaign, which has organized protests on every continent, including Antarctica, for climate action. He played a leading role in launching the opposition to big oil pipeline projects like Keystone XL, and the fossil fuel divestment campaign, which has become the biggest anti-corporate campaign in history, with endowments worth more than $40 trillion stepping back from oil, gas and coal. He stepped down as board chair of 350 in 2015, and left the board and stepped down from his volunteer role as senior adviser in 2020, accepting emeritus status. He lives in the mountains above Lake Champlain with his wife, the writer Sue Halpern, where he spends as much time as possible outdoors. In 2014, biologists credited his career by naming a new species of woodland gnat—Megophthalmidia mckibbeni–in his honor.

Community activists in mining areas face harassment, intimidation, and violence, the Centre for Environmental Rights, groundWork, Earthjustice, and Human Rights Watch said in a joint report and video released today. The attacks and harassment have created an atmosphere of fear for community members who mobilize to raise concerns about damage to their livelihoods from the serious environmental and health risks of mining and coal-fired power plants.

The video cites activists’ reports of intimidation, violence, damage to property, use of excessive force during peaceful protests, and arbitrary arrest for their activities in highlighting the negative impacts of mining projects on their communities. Municipalities often impose barriers to protest on organizers that have no legal basis. Government officials have failed to adequately investigate allegations of abuse, and some mining companies resort to frivolous lawsuits and social media campaigns to further curb opposition to their projects. The government should protect the activists.

Senior Editor, Kristin Stoller and Adebola Williams discuss women entrepreneurs in Africa, how investing in youth is the future, and how ideas are worth the investment.

Plenary Session to honor James Turner
35th Annual National Council for Black Studies Conference
Saturday, March 19, 2011


Abstract from Program:

This plenary session seeks to highlight the centrality of James Turner's leadership in the history of the institutionalization of Black/Africana Studies —spanning more than 45 years. During the latter 1960s Turner was a leading student activist and institution-builder-- involved in both the movement for Black Studies, and assuming a directorship of the Africana Studies and Research Center at Cornell University. His experience as an activist shaped his understanding of the imperatives of institutional autonomy, student empowerment, community involvement and curricular self-determination in the making of the Black Studies project. He has trained hundreds of students who have gone on to further expand the development of Africana studies. Furthermore, Turner's scholarship has been foundational to the theoretical development of the discipline. This panel will highlight the multidimensional ways in which James Turner's leadership, activism, research and mentorship has been critical to the evolution of Black/Africana Studies-- from the Black Power/Black Consciousness movement through its endurance as an institutional force in the production of knowledge.
