Challenging the notion that AI must be massive, this webinar introduces the Expressive Neural Network (ENN). Unlike resource-intensive Large Language Models (LLMs), ENNs rethink activation functions using the Discrete Cosine Transform. This innovative architecture enhances flexibility, speeds convergence, and creates significantly smaller models, reducing energy and computational costs.

ENNs bridge traditional signal processing with modern AI, revolutionizing edge computing by enabling efficient AI in resource-constrained environments. This approach emphasizes expressiveness over size, positioning ENNs as a precision tool for future neural networks.

The Global Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice: Path to COP30 and Beyond, hosted virtually by the Women’s Earth and Climate Network (WECAN) from June 23-28, 2025, convened over 125 grassroots and frontline women leaders, global advocates, and policymakers from 50 countries. This forum featured 25 unique panels showcasing diverse visions, projects, and strategies to accelerate a transformative path to a healthy and just world, with interpretation available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Among the key sessions was the panel “Healing Justice in the Climate Crisis: Restoring Mind, Body, and Spirit,” held on June 25th. Panelists included Cara Page (Changing Frequencies, Healing Histories Project, Turtle Island/USA), Zainab Salbi (Daughters for Earth, Turtle Island/USA), Dr. Vivian Tatiana Camacho Hinojosa (Ancestral Traditional Medicine, Bolivia), Nina Simons (Bioneers, Turtle Island/USA), and Daiara Tukano (Indigenous activist and artist, Brazil). Resources shared during this panel and across the entire Assembly are available here.

This CISL webinar explores the "Better business: Re-thinking business models for nature positive outcomes" report. Funded by UKRI and EU-Horizon as part of the A-Track project, it advocates for a systemic, transformational shift towards a nature-positive economy, moving beyond operational changes. The aim is to identify and scale profitable business models aligned with global nature goals.

Eliot Whittington discusses the work's broader policy context, while lead author Anum Sheikh presents key implications for business. Harry Greenfield details how businesses can engage in this three-year project through workshops, hackathons, and pilots, benefiting from CISL's innovation and advisory expertise.

Achieving net-zero goals requires significant private sector support. This talk explores securing corporate buy-in for a broad carbon tax, ensuring workers have sufficient green skills, and addressing concerns that climate initiatives might undermine business competitiveness.

Jamus Lim, an associate professor of economics at ESSEC Asia Pacific and a Member of Singapore's 14th Parliament, leads this discussion. He brings extensive experience from senior economist roles at the World Bank and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and as chief economist for ThirdRock Group. His expertise spans international macro-finance, political economy, and development economics.

This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Rising chronic diseases are partly linked to hazardous chemicals leaching from plastic food packaging and utensils. While food packaging pollutants are a public health concern, research on a strong causal link between plastics and conditions like infertility or immune disorders is still developing. TEDx events are independently organized; guidelines are available here.

In her TEDx talk, Dr. Jane Muncke explains chemical migration from plastic food contact materials and discusses regulatory gaps. She advocates for inert materials like glass and stainless steel. As Managing Director of the Food Packaging Forum (FPF), Dr. Muncke co-founded the organization to share scientific information on food packaging’s health and environmental impacts.

This video introduces the Agrifood Systems Technologies and Innovations Outlook (ATIO), an initiative accelerating agrifood system transformation for greater efficiency, inclusivity, resilience, and sustainability. ATIO connects ideas, technologies, and people, ensuring innovations reach everyone, everywhere.

ATIO operates through two key outlets: the ATIO Knowledge Base, an open-source platform focusing on grassroots producers in low- and middle-income countries, and the ATIO Report series, which provides in-depth analysis and insights for smarter policy and investment. ATIO invites global partners to collaborate in shaping a better agrifood future.

A virtual roundtable will present key data and future scenarios on El Niño's impacts across Latin America and the Caribbean. It will highlight projected risks to food security, livelihoods, and vulnerability, underscoring the urgent need for preparedness and early action.

IFAD, FAO, and WFP will outline their joint approach, emphasizing strengthened coordination with strategic partners. This strategy integrates anticipatory action, disaster risk financing (including meso-level insurance), and humanitarian–development programming to support timely, integrated, and cost-effective responses.

Space technology is rapidly evolving, expanding possibilities. ITU Space Connect episode E4, "Beyond the Horizon: Framing the Future of Space Communications," explores research shaping the next wave of space communications and policy. Members of ITU's Academic Advisory Body (AAB) Space Thematic Group present their forward-looking concepts.

The group tackles critical topics such as spectrum management, global connectivity, a Solar System Internet, Coordinated Lunar Time, quantum-secure communications, and AI for Earth observation. Moderated by Patricia Cooper, the episode features Dr. Scott Pace, Dr. Tanja Masson-Zwaan, and Dr. Guifei Jing, who will discuss their findings, challenges, and the impact on regulators, industry, and policymakers worldwide.

E-waste is our fastest-growing waste stream, yet represents a significant opportunity for recovering critical minerals, essential given increasing global demand. Billions of dollars’ worth of materials are currently untapped in unused electronics.

In this episode, Ellen MacArthur Foundation experts Danielle Holly and Wen-Yu Weng explore how a circular economy can transform the production, use, and recovery of electronics and their vital components.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation accelerates the transition to a circular economy. Find more information about our work [here](https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org) and [subscribe for insights](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQAC2otE5_agzHZPnk3mE5w?sub_confirmation=1).
