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.

This episode of the Circular Economy Show features Zero Waste Scotland, with Peter McCafferty, and Dr. Michaela Hruskova from the University of Stirling. They discuss barriers preventing businesses from adopting circular practices, drawing insights from their report, ‘Scotland’s Circular Economy Practices Ecosystem.’

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, champions the circular economy concept—designed to eliminate waste, circulate materials, and regenerate nature. Learn more and connect with us: YouTube, Website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn.

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.

This presentation was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

A recent episode of The Circular Economy Show explores how circular economy solutions can combat accelerating biodiversity loss. Lou, Marianne Kettunen (Ellen MacArthur Foundation), and Bianca Brasil (Convention on Biological Diversity) discuss critical connections.

They examine how resource extraction drives 90% of biodiversity loss, the role of circular business models in supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework, and actions required before COP17. The discussion also covers business engagement and integrating circular economy with biodiversity strategies.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a charity accelerating the circular economy to tackle global challenges like biodiversity loss, invites you to subscribe for insights and learn more about their work.

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.

On January 26, 2026, the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) hosts Webinar 3, supporting the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) and the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF). These 2026 observances recognize vital contributions of pastoralists, rangeland communities, and women farmers to sustainable food systems and rural development.

The webinar explores understanding, valuing, and promoting rangeland products. It highlights grassland systems, women's role in ruminant farming, and ecosystem services from grazing livestock. Subscribe to FAO on YouTube and visit FAO.org for more details.
