The ethical case for taking on the climate crisis | Al Gore, Wanjira Mathai & Karenna Gore (TED Countdown House)

For the first time in climate negotiations, leaders are asking the question that actually matters: not just how do we solve the climate crisis — but why aren't we? Join Nobel laureate Al Gore for an in-depth conversation with Wanjira Mathai and Karenna Gore, leaders of the Global Ethical Stocktake: an urgent, values-first reset that seeks to center justice, phase out fossil fuels and elevate Indigenous and Global South leadership. Discover the initiative that's making fossil fuel lobbyists squirm and climate veterans hopeful — before the world moves on to COP31.


Please note, this conversation was recorded live on November 14, 2025, at the TED Countdown House at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP30, in Belém, Brazil. There are a variety of names mentioned during the conversation of global leaders involved in the convening that took place at COP30, they are as follows (listed in order of mention):


Laurence Stebiana, Special Envoy to Europe for COP30

Marina Silva, Brazil's Minister of the Environment and Climate Change

Kumi Naidoo, South African human rights activist and former director of Greenpeace

Selwin Hart, Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General on Climate Action and Just Transition

António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General

Gus Speth, American environmental lawyer

"Mutirão COP30," the Tupi-Guarani term meaning "a collective effort or community mobilization"
