In 2004, visionary environmental leader Gus Speth’s book Red Sky at Morning warned that “[a] global crisis has unfolded quickly . . . but so far we seem unable to step from the path to disaster.” More than 20 years later, we have made great gains, but the fundamental transition Speth envisioned did not come to pass, and global environmental deterioration continues to intensify at an alarming pace. Approaching Speth’s “red sky world” with “blue sky thinking,” members of the 2025 Environmental Law Collaborative explored new strategies for a more sustainable future. This latest in a biannual series of essays covers a wide range of topics, including the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement, monopoly control, the power of local government, reviving international law, encouraging belonging, technology, and more.
