From saving endangered species to protecting our water, the Earth to Paris event on Dec. 7 brought together experts, advocates and CEOs to discuss creative and impactful climate solutions.
The event, scheduled to coincide with the U.N. Climate Summit in Paris, was designed to inspire meaningful action for people and the planet.
It offered citizens the chance to go behind-the-scenes of climate negotiations by following a Livestream of the day's session and checking in on a Facebook Live-athon that featured interviews with activists, leaders and celebrities like Deepak Chopra, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Jane Goodall.
