Scientists have long studied climate change; now, the focus must shift to implementing solutions. As a technologist, I see immense potential for innovation to mitigate warming impacts—from preventing deforestation and preserving biodiversity to ensuring food security. The ambitious goal, central to "Operation Earth," is to leverage technology not just to limit warming, but to reverse damage and reduce global temperatures by one degree Celsius.

This urgent call to action comes from Daniela Rus, Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and a distinguished professor. Her expertise in robotics and data science highlights the innovative approaches required. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event, which you can learn more about here.

As part of a lecture series by UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) and the British Library, Stephanie Kelton, former Chief Economist on the US Senate Budget Committee, explained why a government budget differs fundamentally from a household budget.

Kelton offered a beginner’s guide to public deficits, questioning whether a balanced budget is the correct goal. She proposed a new understanding of deficits, debt, taxes, and the public-private sector relationship. Her vision advocates for a participatory, mission-oriented public budget to restructure services, investment, and build a cleaner, safer, more secure future for all.

Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic

Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic nature of the word 'spiritual.' It means too much to some and too little to others, leading to diverse interpretations—from psychological depth to philosophical confusion, or a critique of materialism to capitalist exploitation.

Following a two-year RSA inquiry, Dr. Rowson proposes a framework for a post-religious spirituality. This initiative seeks to make the spiritual less nebulous while maintaining its inclusive ambiguity.

The new framework redefines four existential touchstones: Love (from romance to rootedness), Death (from denial to confrontation), Self (from esteem to transcendence), and Soul (from substance to perspective).
