U.N. Affirms Climate Duty, World Cup in a Warming World, Terry Tempest Williams on ‘The Glorians’ and more.

from Living on Earth · host World Media Foundation

More than two-thirds of U.N. members recently voted in favor of a resolution affirming a landmark ruling by the International Court of Justice that countries have a legal obligation to limit global warming. While this advisory opinion is not enforceable, it will likely be cited in lawsuits and appeals as a fact in the fight against climate disruption.   Also, the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup will mostly take place during the North American summer, and the prospect of extreme heat prompted a group of current and former players to write an open letter to FIFA calling for better protection of players.   And the Utah desert with its raw beauty has long been a muse for writer Terry Tempest Williams. In her 2026 book, The Glorians:Visitations from the Holy Ordinary, she explores miraculous moments of grace that call for our attention, even in spaces that may at first seem unremarkable. Terry joined us for an online Living on Earth Book Club event. -- Find photos, transcripts, links to more information about these stories, and much more at the Living on Earth website, loe dot org!   Music licensed from Blue Dot Sessions: sessions.blue Learn more about your ad choices.
