The WSIS Prizes, recognizing innovative technological approaches for sustainable development, were announced on May 28, 2024, at the WSIS+20 Forum in Geneva. Projects from 18 countries received top honors for bridging the digital divide, fostering digital inclusion, and driving global socio-economic progress.

ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin highlighted these awards as demonstrating the innovation needed to advance UN Sustainable Development Goals. Among the recognized efforts is Bayanat (XBRL), an open international standard for digital business reporting. It facilitates the timely exchange of accurate financial and non-financial data between economic entities, ensuring reliable information for stakeholders through integrated systems and analytical tools.

While climate change is a global challenge, modest actions can drive significant impact. An Oxford team is applying concepts like snowball effects and tipping points to human systems, seeking "sensitive intervention points" to accelerate the transition to a post-carbon world.

Professor Cameron Hepburn, Director of Environmental Economics at Oxford's Smith School, leads this research. A Rhodes Scholar with diverse academic and professional experience, he has published widely and advises governments and international institutions on energy and environmental policy. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Water is vital for life and climate regulation, but intensifying global floods and droughts demand a new understanding of its dynamics. The film "WATER IS LOVE" addresses this critical issue.

It champions restoring hydrological cycles and revitalizing rivers, placing water at the core of ecological restoration. The film showcases autonomous bioregions like Tamera, fostering a new consciousness and human-earth reconnection for a hopeful future.

Fritjof Capra: Patterns of Connection

Join us for a virtual conversation with Fritjof Capra to discuss the evolution of his thought. In the late 1950s Capra read the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, and quickly intuited connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy. The result was his bestselling book, The Tao of Physics. His synthesis, which dispensed with the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton in favor of a systemic, ecological one, has provided him with a different perspective on the life sciences, ecology and environmental policy.

Six decades later, Fritjof Capra remains at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document his revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey.

Moon Mother Hemp Company and Earth Guardians are hosting a virtual series to highlight hemp as a dynamic solution to the climate crisis. Panels, chosen by the Earth Guardians' Youth Council, feature industry specialists.

The July webinar, "Building Tomorrow: Hemp as a Construction Resource," explores hemp's role as an eco-ally for future cities. From Hemp-crete to other building materials, hemp sequesters carbon and creates healthier structures for residential, commercial, and urban planning. This readily available, regenerative resource offers a vision for sustainable construction today.
