Astronomer Wendy Freedman, a University Professor at the University of Chicago, discusses humanity's quest to measure the expanding universe. She highlights the "Hubble Tension"—a scientific mystery where cosmic expansion rate measurements don't match. Freedman explains how the James Webb Space Telescope is achieving unprecedented accuracy, suggesting this conflict may signal new physics. Her work inspires future generations to pursue revolutionary cosmic discoveries.

A trailblazer in observational cosmology, Professor Freedman previously directed the Carnegie Observatories and chaired the Giant Magellan Telescope project. Named one of TIME100's most influential people in 2025, she currently leads a James Webb Space Telescope program. This TEDx talk is available at ted.com/tedx.

FAO champions multistakeholder partnerships to build sustainable food and agriculture systems, addressing hunger, climate change, and rural poverty. The World Banana Forum (WBF) exemplifies this, showcasing the banana sector as a global model for inclusive, climate-smart value chains. This collaboration among producers, governments, and retailers advances sustainability, fairness, and resilience through initiatives like living wages and responsible purchasing.

This event aims to raise awareness of partnerships' role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote the WBF as a replicable model for other agricultural sectors. For more information, visit the FAO Partnerships page and the World Banana Forum.

The Center for Biological Diversity experienced a fast and successful 2025, despite multiple investigations and attacks from President Trump and far-right House members aimed at intimidation.

The Center for Biological Diversity experienced a fast and successful 2025, despite multiple investigations and attacks from President Trump and far-right House members aimed at intimidation. These efforts failed to slow us down.

Since Trump's second inauguration on January 20, we have filed 65 lawsuits. These actions targeted destructive policies, climate-killing fossil fuels, widespread chemical approvals, and the despoilment of vital ecosystems like the Everglades. We also fought corruption threatening wilderness areas and defended national parks from exploitation.

We are deeply grateful for your continued faith and anticipate more hard-fought battles and victories in 2026.
