Held at COP26, a CISL event at Scottish Power's Glasgow Headquarters synthesized key messages, insights, and actions from the summit, examining their implications for business and finance. Experts in climate science, policy, business, and finance discussed reactions to the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report, progress on the Paris Agreement, and remaining policy challenges.

Sessions explored translating policy statements into business metrics and targets, including technology and R&D needs for decarbonization and adaptation. The event also addressed capital and risk-sharing systems for a resilient, just transition, aligning net-zero commitments, and their impact on the financial sector. It concluded by reflecting on these outcomes for leaders across all timeframes.

The ITU and 12 partners developed the "Toolkit on Digital Transformation for People-Oriented Cities and Communities" to strengthen technical and institutional capacities for urban digital transformation. This toolkit connects technological solutions for urban operations, empowering authorities to adopt cutting-edge technologies for more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable societies.

It offers insights on international standards, guidance, and use-cases for emerging technologies like AI, alongside reports on digital transformation. Universally beneficial, the Toolkit supports cities, communities, regions, and countries regardless of their development level or status. An AI for Good Webinar will explore its benefits for driving digital transformation within the smart city ecosystem.

The circular economy demands a transformative shift from a linear "take, make, waste" model to one that eliminates waste and pollution, circulates materials, and regenerates nature. This episode

The circular economy demands a transformative shift from a linear "take, make, waste" model to one that eliminates waste and pollution, circulates materials, and regenerates nature. This episode explores how data and digital technologies are disrupting the status quo, showcasing innovations that redefine interactions between producers, retailers, and customers. We travel to Prague and London to hear from trailblazers implementing and scaling these solutions.

"Two American Families: 1991-2024" is a "knockout documentary" (The New York Times) chronicling the economic struggles of two Milwaukee families—one Black, one white—over three decades. From 1991 to 2024, the Stanleys and Neumanns have battled poverty amidst a changing U.S. economy, marked by global shifts and lower-wage work, raising unsettling questions about America's economic future.

With profound intimacy, this FRONTLINE film reveals how these families and their now-grown children have navigated six presidential administrations, facing continuous challenges. As Terry Neumann notes, "It's like we haven't come very far," yet Jackie Stanley declares, "I won't give up." Directed by Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes, it offers a powerful window into enduring hardship.

The National Turtle Lodge Elders’ and Knowledge Keepers’ Council calls for a National Day of Prayer on Sunday, June 6, 2021, at various times across Canada. This collective prayer responds to the tragic discovery of 215 children at a Kamloops residential school, honoring all affected by the residential school system.

Elders and Knowledge Keepers will lead ceremonies, lifting Sacred Pipes and lighting Sacred Fires, praying in Original Languages. Their aim is healing, fostering a new relationship based on love and kindness, and supporting today's children through ancestral ways.

All are invited to join this Sunday by participating in their own traditions. A special gathering at Turtle Lodge in July will seek further spiritual guidance for the country's path forward.

During the reboot of the world's economy, Geoff Mulgan, CEO of the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA) and a visiting professor, proposes a transformative approach. Instead of allocating bailout money to failing old industries, he suggests utilizing stimulus funds to establish new, socially responsible companies, aiming to improve the world.

Mulgan also questions the effectiveness of GDP as a measurement tool for a new, sustainable economy. His insights are available on http://www.ted.com.

This talk explores how personal disruptions, or “glitches,” become powerful inflection points within supportive communities. After losing her job as an immigrant in Germany, Kseniia faced financial uncertainty and an identity crisis. Engaging with women in her community transformed her perceived failure into reinvention.

This revealed women’s communities are vital catalysts. Kseniia connects her story to research on systemic barriers for highly skilled immigrant women, showing how trusted networks foster confidence and collective power. She founded Europe's largest Russian-speaking women's community (1,500+ members), empowering women as an entrepreneur.

Kseniia speaks on women’s leadership and collective transformation. This TEDx talk is available at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
