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.

Boudreaux, President & CEO, discusses Oberon Fuels' mission to decarbonize the fuel and energy sectors. The company aims to slash the environmental impact of fuels, particularly in hard-to-abate areas like heavy-duty transportation and agriculture.

Oberon achieves this through renewable dimethyl ether (rDME). Their low or carbon-negative rDME fuel can reduce LPG's carbon intensity by up to 60% when blended, potentially cutting global CO2 by 750 million metric tons annually. rDME also offers a compelling approach for transporting hydrogen for its fast-growing applications.

Fungi form a complex, vital underground network of mycorrhizal threads, exchanging nutrients and forming symbiotic partnerships essential for life on Earth. Visionary biologists Toby Kiers and Merlin Sheldrake explore these wonders in an episode of Bioneers' *Nature's Genius* series.

Dr. Kiers is Executive Director and Chief Scientist of SPUN (Society for the Protection of Underground Networks) and a Professor at VU Amsterdam. Dr. Sheldrake, a biologist and writer, is a research associate at Vrije University Amsterdam, works with SPUN, and advises the Fungi Foundation.

While Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) offer significant wireless communication benefits, this webinar explores their potential downsides if uncontrolled. Issues could be accidental, like unintended interference from adjacent band enhancements, or intentional, such as malicious hijacking to degrade performance and create unusual phenomena.

Emil Björnson (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) will present these practical harms. Organized by the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU J-FET), a free international journal covering communications and networking research, this event is part of their webinar series.

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

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.

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.

In this episode of Earthsayers in Conversation, host Shannon interviews Alex, a pediatric nurse and activist with the Handmaids of Minnesota. What started as a protest on International Women's Day in 2025 has evolved into a movement using the imagery from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale to highlight the erosion of women's rights in America. The group’s uniform symbolizes the silencing of women, with red cloaks and white bonnets representing a world where women are seen but not heard.

Alex shares impactful stories from her activism, including supporting a fellow nurse in a domestic violence case and witnessing tragedies firsthand. She discusses the challenges of being a visible protester and the need for inclusivity in the movement. Looking forward, Alex envisions a shift from silent protest to active rebellion, while also sharing her creative outlets like her podcast Once in a Millennial.
