In July 1960, Jane Goodall arrived in Gombe, Tanzania, to study wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries, including that chimpanzees make and use tools, profoundly changed science and redefined what it means to be human.

Recognizing threats to chimpanzees, Jane shifted her focus to advocacy. She launched JGI's community-led Tacare conservation approach, championed animal welfare—including opening JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary—and traveled globally to spread her message of hope.

Jane's legacy includes the Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots youth program, empowering young people in over 75 countries. Join us on April 3rd to celebrate Jane and uphold her vital work for people, other animals, and our shared planet.

Scientists have long studied climate change; now, the focus must shift to implementing solutions. As a technologist, I see immense potential for innovation to mitigate warming impacts—from preventing deforestation and preserving biodiversity to ensuring food security. The ambitious goal, central to "Operation Earth," is to leverage technology not just to limit warming, but to reverse damage and reduce global temperatures by one degree Celsius.

This urgent call to action comes from Daniela Rus, Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and a distinguished professor. Her expertise in robotics and data science highlights the innovative approaches required. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event, which you can learn more about here.

Join Michael Gerrard, Columbia Law School professor and Sabin Center Director, for a training on Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization. His team's "legal playbook" identifies over 1,000 model laws to help the U.S. achieve an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Gerrard will outline needed federal, state, and local legal changes and demonstrate how CCL volunteers can engage legislators with these model laws. The training covers key topics like legal tools and mobilizing pro bono lawyers.

Palestinian youth, especially young women, face alarmingly high unemployment and poverty. Limited job opportunities and a mismatch between education and labor market needs hinder access to decent work, impacting purchasing power and food security.

The FAO, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and funded by Denmark, is tackling this by promoting sustainable "green" jobs in the agrifood sector. The project strengthens youth skills, supports green enterprises, and engages various partners to empower young women and men in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This fosters decent employment, builds resilience, and contributes to a sustainable agrifood system.
