From scientists to lobbyists to youth risking arrest, meet the people leading the resistance to anti-climate policy in the United States. Since Donald Trump’s second term began, hundreds of pro-climate policies have been rolled back or undermined, leaving many American climate advocates shocked and dismayed. But now, they’re pushing back. We hear about the tactics leaders are using to shift public opinion ahead of the U.S. midterms in 2026.

Corporate leaders say Canada’s new greenwashing rules are causing companies to pull back on their climate ambitions.

The temperate rainforests of the West Coast exist because of salmon magic. These fish feed the trees, the trees protect the fish, and everything else that lives under the canopy of the ancient old-growth benefits from this interplay. Protecting these 'salmon forests' from logging and wildfire can have enormous benefits for human life and the climate, according to author Lynda Mapes whose new book is called The Trees are Speaking: Dispatches from the Salmon Forests. And we speak to Tsm’syen scientist Sm'hayetsk Teresa Ryan, about why the key to saving what old-growth is left in Canada could come down to Indigenous leadership.

When West Sacramento was saved from wildfire in 2022, goats were hailed as heroes. No, they didn’t wield hoses or jump out of helicopters. They just did what goats do: eat everything in sight, including the dry grass and weeds that can fuel wildfires. We head to Northern California where governments are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on goats to create firebreaks. Then, we ask, could they help in Canada, too?
