Time’s covers highlight influence, but history reminds us: influence isn’t immunity.

Jeffrey Epstein (2002), Elizabeth Holmes (2014), and Sam Bankman-Fried all went from media spotlight to prison cells.

The transition is picking up speed! 🌍🔋

💼 A UN-backed carbon market is coming
🏁 Early national targets building momentum

Halftime—with all to play for.
