Thousands of protesters on Sunday kicked off a week where leaders will try to curb climate change primarily caused by coal, oil and natural gas. They aimed their wrath directly at U.S. president Joe Biden, urging him to stop approving new oil and gas projects, phase out current ones and declare a climate emergency with larger executive powers.

The U.N. continues to push towards its goals to end extreme poverty and hunger, ensure every child on earth gets a quality education, achieve gender equality, make significant inroads in tackling climate change, and to create “universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.” Halfway to that goal, progress is lagging badly. Only 15% of some 140 specific targets to achieve the 17 goals are on track. The U.N. hopes to achieve all these goals by 2030.
