For the uninitiated, Milken is a key stop on the conference circuit for many business and finance leaders—a great way to escape Manhattan to brush shoulders with industry titans and top policymakers in Beverly Hills. It is by no means a climate conference.

Marina Silva’s achievements may seem borderline miraculous. Since taking office for a second run as Brazil’s environment and climate minister in 2023, the country has quickly and dramatically reversed deforestation trends with strict enforcement of environment rules that had been abandoned by her predecessor. According to the most recent official account released last fall, Amazon deforestation had fallen to the lowest level in a decade. In 2023 alone, it dropped nearly in half from the prior year.

For the last year, the energy and climate narrative has been intimately intertwined with questions about AI’s impact on energy demand. As tech companies race to construct new data centers, they’ve turned the U.S. emissions reduction story on its head. In this environment, Brazil senses an opportunity. Up to this point, the AI demand story has been a U.S. one, but Brazilian officials want to convince tech companies to set up shop in their country.

Tesla Is No Longer the Only Benchmark for EV Success

It didn’t take long for Elon Musk’s political advocacy and work in the Trump Administration to erode Tesla’s position as America’s uncontestable electric vehicle leader. As left-leaning consumers and outraged moderates complained about his crusade to remake the U.S. government, Tesla’s car sales declined in the first quarter of 2025 from the previous year. And, on Tuesday, the company reported a 71% decline in net income for the same period.
Remembering Pope Francis's Climate Legacy

3 weeks ago | time.com | Justin Worland

Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s first big environmental move after being elected leader of the world’s more than 1.2 billion Catholics came quickly: choosing the papal name Francis after Saint Francis of Assi, known among other things for his appreciation of the natural world which he called a “mirror of God.” That was 2013. In his 12 year papacy, Pope Francis would go on to become a key figure in the global climate movement.

It was a stunning rebuke of the company’s management. The dissatisfaction with BP’s direction is driven by a constellation of factors.

In an instant, President Trump landed the most significant blow yet to the post-war trade regime last week as he announced aggressive tariffs on friends and foes alike. Even after his significant backtracking, it’s clear that the system of free flowing goods across international barriers that has defined economics globally in recent decades isn’t coming back anytime soon. In the short term, we know the international tensions will disrupt supply chains for clean energy.
