# Indigenous / Global
At U.N. forum, Indigenous leaders say colonialism and market forces are destroying the planet: One of only three U.N. bodies that deal specifically with Indigenous issues, the Forum’s report was the culmination of two weeks of talks around the theme of Indigenous peoples, human health, planetary and territorial health, and climate change. “The destruction of the Earth is driving a global health and humanitarian crisis,” the Forum wrote.

Indiana Governor Signs Bill Requiring Teachers to Out Trans Students to
Parents: The law will create potentially harmful living situations for transgender youth in the state, critics contend.’ Indiana’s governor on Thursday signed a bill that will require schools to notify a parent if a student requests a name or pronoun change at school, one of the final bills approved in a legislative session that had targeted LGBTQ+ people in the state, especially students. Critics worry the law could out transgender children to their families and erode trust between students and teachers while supporters have contested the legislation keeps parents empowered and informed about their children when at school.

Ambitious Climate Proposition Faces Fossil Fuel Backlash in El Paso: Sunrise El Paso put forward a charter amendment to transition the city off fossil fuels and explore creating a municipal electric utility. The chamber of commerce and the fossil fuel industry are mounting a scorched earth campaign to kill it. It would establish a goal of 80 percent clean, renewable energy in El Paso by 2030 and 100 percent by 2045, ban water sales for fossil fuel industry activities outside city limits, and require the city to “employ all available efforts” to convert El Paso Electric to municipal ownership.

# Environment / Climate / Interior / Global The long shadow of Agent Orange in Vietnam: This book is all encompassing, the war and its 50-year aftermath. But what struck me was the environmental context of the war, since you explain how the geography and the tropical forest were central to the conflict. Was that clear to you going in? I was struck by the comparison of the Vietnamese peasant to the American Indian. In both instances, the food supply was destroyed, people were moved off the land and the effects lasted generations. Do you think that’s just war? Or the result of a more pervasive mindset?

Can the U.S. Adjust Sensibly to a Multipolar World? China is responding astutely to what the world needs most, which is peace, and demonstrating practically how it can help: As US power declines on the global stage, other actors are stepping up. De-dollarization, deeping regional cooperation within Europe, the rising influence of China in the Middle East and Latin America leaning left pose significant challenges. The operative question today is how the long-dominant US adapts to this new multipolar world order.

How Finland Virtually Ended Homelessness, and We Can Too: It turned out that, given a place to live, Finland’s homeless were better at dealing with addictions and other problems, not to mention handling job applications. So, more than a decade after the “housing first” policy was introduced, 80 percent of Finland’s homeless are doing well, still living in housing that was provided to them, but now paying the rent themselves. Not only does it help the homeless, but it’s also cheaper.
