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.

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.

Ryan Camero, from Stockton, CA, began volunteering with Restore the Delta in 2010 to understand community resilience amidst social challenges and water issues. His interest in art and storytelling led him to the Beehive Collective. Collaborating with Restore the Delta and Food and Water Watch, Camero conceptualized "Sucked Dry" in 2014, a presentation with Beehive Collective graphics that linked California's water privatization to struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects in Mesoamerica.

Last fall, Camero toured 18 California cities, presenting "Sucked Dry" and facilitating discussions on the fragile Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Now employed by Restore the Delta, he continues to act as a "cross-pollinator," fostering collaborations across organizations to address interconnected social, environmental, and economic inequities.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are critical for every business, whether generalist or specialist. Achieving genuine progress requires "generalized specialists" – organizations

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.

Join host Jeff Corwin on "Wildlife Nation" as he explores the Great Plains, uncovering the vital connections between its species. Corwin partners with Native American tribes near the Canadian border to re-establish bison across tribal lands, learning how these ancient herds shaped the plains and how modern conservation efforts are bringing them back.

Later, Corwin works with biologists to manage black-footed ferrets, a species once thought extinct. He discovers the crucial role wild bison play in the survival of ferrets and the Great Plains ecosystem. Teamed with Defenders of Wildlife, Corwin celebrates North America's creatures and the dedicated conservationists protecting them.
