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.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity promoting this vision, invites you to learn more about their work and connect with them.

"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.

Christof Koch is a prominent neuroscientist focused on the neural bases of consciousness. Born in 1956, he earned his Ph.D. in biophysics after studying physics and philosophy. His distinguished career includes extensive research on the brain, particularly the visual cortex, and developing theories of consciousness. He notably collaborated with Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA's structure.

Koch served as a professor at Caltech for decades before becoming Chief Scientist and President of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, where he led pioneering brain mapping efforts. An influential figure, he has authored several books and speaks widely, advocating for a scientifically grounded approach to understanding the mind.

Natural ecosystems are vital for planetary cooling, but effective solutions demand a holistic understanding of the organisms regulating our climate. The Crowther Lab, led by Professor Thomas Crowther, digitally explores the biosphere using advanced data and AI. This research aims to reveal nature's full potential in combating climate change and biodiversity loss.

Unlike many labs, Crowther emphasizes a comprehensive approach to predict climate progression and develop nature-based solutions. As chief scientific advisor to the UN’s Trillion Tree Campaign, his work helps organizations make informed decisions and implement these crucial solutions. This innovative perspective was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
