“Life Saves the Planet” is more than just a blog—it’s our philosophy and a partnership with GBH public television’s Lowell Lecture Series. In the search for answers to climate change, we look to the interconnected living systems that sustain our planet. These biodiverse systems shape our atmosphere, regulate temperature, and maintain balance in weather patterns. Inspired by the words of Janine Benyus, who proclaimed that “life creates the conditions of life,” we gather cutting-edge research, ideas, and resources to guide the way.

In Biodiversity as Climate Infrastructure, Poulomi Chakravarty explores micrometeorology—the science of small-scale exchanges of heat, water, and gases between land, plants, and air. It shows how forests, wetlands, and even animals influence evaporation, rainfall, and temperature through hidden processes that quietly stabilize our climate. The article opens a window into this overlooked science, inviting us…
In September, Poulomi Chakravarty reflected on Water Is Love during Bio4Climate’s community screening in Cambridge. More than just a film showing, the event became a space for connection, learning, and inspiration—where neighbors shared food, ideas, and stories about restoring water cycles. The screening highlighted how decentralized, community-led action can turn water into a source of…
In June, Bio4Climate Science Communications Intern Adrianna Drindak attended a congressional briefing in Washington, D.C., by The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the Federation of American Scientists about how federal policies can bolster resilience to extreme heat at the state and community level, centered on the Federation of American Scientists’ 2025 Heat Policy…
This spring, Bio4Climate is sharing select excerpts from the late Jan Lambert’s book, Water, Land and Climate, The Critical Connection: How We Can Rehydrate Landscapes Locally To Renew Climates Globally.
