The WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event, from May 27-31, 2024, commemorates two decades since the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) established a global framework for digital cooperation. WSIS aimed to build inclusive, people-centric information societies.

This milestone event will facilitate multistakeholder discussions to review progress, trends, and future opportunities since the 2003 Geneva Plan of Action. Co-organized by ITU, UNESCO, UNDP, and UNCTAD, and co-hosted by ITU and the Swiss Confederation, it will support both in-person and remote participation.

Scientists recently filmed octopuses throwing seashells and debris at each other, possibly for social reasons. This adds them to a select group of animals known to hurl objects. Females initiated most throws (66%), often during mating, with 17% hitting their underwater targets.

Massive wildfires, exacerbated by climate change, have devastated California. However, experts and victims primarily attribute these disasters to PG&E's criminal negligence. Faulty power lines and ignored maintenance since the 1990s led to deadly events like the Camp Fire, resulting in $30 billion in liabilities and the company's bankruptcy. Calls for accountability and reform are mounting.

Beyond wildfires, California faces extreme drought and rainfall cycles, intensified by climate change. This tumultuous water history and future needs are explored in Mark Arax's book, "The Dreamt Land." Discussions center on sustainable water management for the state's agriculture and population.

Our brains are wired for the familiar, but changing this wiring can transform your life. Neuroscientist Nicole Vignola explains how deeply rooted beliefs, often shaped by upbringing and natural biases like negativity and confirmation, can limit our potential and keep us trapped in old thought patterns.

However, our brains are capable of change at any age. By practicing metacognition—observing our thoughts—and challenging automatic beliefs, we can rewire our perceptions and create empowering new narratives. This approach helps us break free, fostering a mindset for human optimization, health, and peak performance. Read more from Nicole Vignola here.
