Cities annually produce one billion tons of organic waste, often dumped at high cost, causing pollution and emissions. Insects offer a proven, sustainable solution, efficiently converting this waste into food, feed, and nutrient-rich compost. Companies like Sanergy and InsectiPro show how insects transform waste into profit, supporting soil fertility and a circular food economy.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, accelerates the transition to a circular economy. Explore our Food initiative, Circular Economy in Africa, and featured companies InsectiPro and Sanergy. Subscribe to our YouTube channel, visit our website and social media for more.

Join host Jeff Corwin to explore the remarkable comeback of the American crocodile. Once near extinction with only 100 adults, their population now exceeds 2,000 in South Florida, largely thanks to an unexpected sanctuary: the Turkey Point nuclear power plant. Its secure 6,000-acre network of cooling canals provides an ideal nesting habitat, a "nuclear headstart program" supported by Florida Power & Light and Defenders of Wildlife.

Conservationists monitor and tag hatchlings before releasing them, ensuring the health of these apex predators. Protecting crocodiles is vital, as their thriving population signifies a healthy broader ecosystem. Learn more about wildlife conservation at www.defenders.org/wildlifenation.

Alexandra Morel, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, will discuss environmental change, focusing on the critical role of forests. Her extensive research spans tropical forests globally, from Malaysian Borneo to Ethiopia.

Dr. Morel's work explores the intersection of tropical forest ecology and smallholder agriculture, including the ecological limits of poverty alleviation (ecolimits.org). She also investigates the vital role of intact forests in providing global ecosystem services (eci.ox.ac.uk/if21/). A central theme in her research is understanding how forests mitigate and support adaptation to climate change.

Julia Blocher, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and President of the International Youth Federation (IYF), explores the global impacts of climate change and human responses. She illustrates how climate events drive migration while highlighting young people making real change.

With a decade of experience in climate change and human movement, Blocher believes youth are pivotal in solving global challenges like climate change and migration. Her work, focusing on regions like East Africa and island nations, underscores the potential of this new generation to lead towards a just, peaceful, and inclusive future. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more here.

Technology shapes our environment to meet human needs, driving civilization and progress. However, this advancement often comes at a significant cost to the environment.

Understanding anisotropy—the variation of material properties with direction—is crucial. It can guide us to more efficient and environmentally friendly technological solutions, rather than forcing our own methods.

Tim Booth, a DTU Physics professor researching 2D materials, proposes a key question: "Is there an easier and more natural direction to pull in?" This reflection, highlighted in his TEDx talk, offers a path to better, more sustainable future solutions.

Cities will drive climate action this decade, developing local solutions to protect communities, systems, and economies from climate change. Belfast’s Commissioner for Resilience, Grainia Long, outlines the city's strong collaboration and practical solutions, demonstrating how global ambition is achieved through local delivery.

Grainia Long, based in Belfast City Council, became Commissioner following Belfast's membership in the 100 Resilient Cities network. Her extensive background includes leadership roles in housing and human rights, providing a robust foundation for her current work.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are critical for every business, whether generalist or specialist. Achieving genuine progress requires "generalized specialists" – organizations balancing deep impact on specific goals with broader awareness to avoid unproductive tradeoffs. This concept, explored by B Lab's Insights team and B Corp leaders, is framed by a recent research paper.

With only eight years left, businesses must act. Discover practical tools and exercises to enhance your SDG impact. Read the full research paper: Handbook on the Business of Sustainability. Explore B Lab's SDG Insights Report and practical tools like the SDG Action Manager and B Impact Assessment.

Climate activist Shyla Raghav re-imagines climate action, reframing it not as sacrifice but as an opportunity for gain. She transforms common feelings of offense, anger, and helplessness into determination to confront the climate emergency. As Conservation International’s leading expert on climate change, Raghav focuses on nature-based solutions.

Raghav played an integral role in the Paris Agreement and has influenced international climate policy for over a decade, working with organizations like the World Bank and UNDP. With degrees from UC Irvine and Yale in applied ecology and environmental management, she is a key communicator in the climate movement. This talk was given at a TEDx event.
