We have the technology to connect the entire planet into a single electrical grid that can move electricity from where it can be generated to where it is needed

Big business is failing on forest conservation
There have been multiple global commitments to forests, with hundreds of governments and businesses signing up to pledges named after cities they were signed in: Bonn in 2011, New York in 2014, Glasgow in 2021.
