System transformation begins by mapping key leverage points for change. Discover how Nike and Health Care Without Harm are driving significant improvements. Nike is eliminating hazardous chemical discharge from its supply chain by 2020, while Health Care Without Harm has built a collaborative network of 450 organizations across 52 countries to transform the healthcare industry. Both initiatives aim to enhance environmental and health outcomes, alongside their bottom lines.

These insights were shared at the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship, which unites leading social entrepreneurs with essential partners to accelerate learning, leverage, and large-scale social change.

Unsustainable, extractive farming practices have led to environmental and public health crises, depleting nature and driving climate change and biodiversity loss. With agriculture using half our land, farmers are crucial stewards. We must shift from extractive systems to regenerative, sustainable, and circular approaches.

In this talk, The Prince of Wales supports an international framework for measuring farm sustainability. A long-time advocate for sustainability, he has championed British farming and a more sustainable food future, raising awareness for critical issues.

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.

A new Oceana report reveals that the illegal seafood trade, partly fueled by U.S. demand, devastates fishing communities worldwide. Oceana advocates for expanded traceability and transparency requirements for all seafood imports.

Despite being the world's largest seafood importer, the U.S. Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) covers only 13 species, leaving 60% of imports vulnerable to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. This loophole allowed an estimated $2.4 billion in IUU seafood into the U.S. market in 2019, causing global economic and ecological damage.

Oceana urges President Biden to expand SIMP to include all imported seafood and implement comprehensive "net to plate" traceability to protect ocean health and livelihoods.
