Naturalist, artist, and explorer Roseann Hanson highlights the value of field sketching and journaling. She argues this analog practice, from the Stone Age to today, is crucial for connecting people to science and nature conservation and personal well-being in our digital age. With 40 years of experience, Hanson is an acclaimed author (*Nature Journaling for a Wild Life*) and co-organizer of the Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference. A Fellow of the Explorers Club and Royal Geographical Society, she teaches nature writing and field notes, drawing on extensive conservation work.

Studies indicating historical CO2 levels lag behind temperature have merit, confirms Peter Hildebrand, Director of Earth Science at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Responding to a question on Twitter, Hildebrand explained that in the pre-industrial age, temperature changes drove CO2 levels; a warmer climate caused the biosphere to emit more CO2.

However, in the post-industrial era, this dynamic has reversed. Now, increasing atmospheric CO2 is leading to higher temperatures, indicating a fundamental shift in the physical-biological processes. For more information, visit Ask A Climate Scientist.

On April 15, 2011, the indigenous Purepecha community of Cheran, Michoacan, Mexico, rebelled against organized crime, the logging industry, and corrupt government agencies. They used sticks, rocks, and bottle rockets to resist their "narco-government" that pillaged sacred forests.

Since then, Cheran has ousted all political parties and local/state police, seizing offices, weapons, and vehicles. The community re-established traditional self-governance, featuring a council of elders, a community police ("ronda"), and its "Guarda Bosques" (Forest Keepers) defense team.

The increasing use of digital technologies globally raises concerns about their impact on employment and skills. While automation replaces certain tasks, it also creates new jobs demanding updated skills, requiring millions to reskill or upskill.

This session will address how digital transformation impacts jobs and skills development, exploring core challenges, opportunities, and innovative strategies to enhance global workforce capabilities. It will highlight best practices for fostering digital skills, considering youth, women, and aging workers.

Moderated by Mr. Juan Iván Martín Lataix (International Labour Organization), the panel features experts from Stanford University, Mexico, Gabon, and Kenya, offering diverse perspectives on digital skills for the future of work.

The UK Business Group Alliance for Net Zero (BGA) hosted a session at COP26 in Glasgow on November 2, 2021. Coordinated by CLG UK, the BGA is a network of leading business groups dedicated to increasing political and business ambition for the UK's 2050 net zero emissions target.

This session explored the challenges and opportunities of a whole-economy shift to net zero. It featured high-level input from BEIS and leaders of the UK's five largest business groups: the Confederation of British Industries, Make UK, British Chambers of Commerce, Federation of Small Businesses, and Institute of Directors, discussing actions to meet the target.
