NASA scientists are actively engaged in discussions concerning global food security. Their unique expertise, often stemming from space exploration and Earth observation, provides valuable insights into this critical challenge.

These discussions likely explore how space-based technologies, such as satellite monitoring, can enhance agricultural practices, predict crop yields, and manage resources more effectively. Furthermore, research into sustainable food systems for long-duration space missions offers potential solutions applicable to terrestrial food production, addressing future food needs.

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision further stripped federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to destruction.

This loss devastates biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on wetlands, with over a third living exclusively there. Wetlands also protect water quality and mitigate flood risks. Act now: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species.

Cristal, a first-generation Mexican from Gary, Indiana, is passionate about environmental justice and climate change, recognizing its disproportionate impact on BIPOC communities. Her work, rooted in ancestral connections to Madre Tierra, focuses on amplifying the voices of youth of color. She believes in sharing her platform to ensure their messages are heard.

This TEDx talk emphasizes the urgent need to invite youth of color into the broader climate change conversation. As Rigoberta Menchú stated, our "militarized, fenced-in, poisoned" Mother Earth demands action. Cristal, pursuing a doctorate in environmental racism, teaches and develops curriculum to empower these brilliant young scholars. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

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.

The UK, hosting COP26 in November 2021, is committed to significant climate action and a Net Zero Strategy. Achieving net zero requires government, business, and civil society to partner, ensuring a credible pathway and ambitious emissions reductions across all sectors.

CLG UK's report, "Bridging the gap: UK business and policy leadership for net zero," analyzes progress in power, built environment, road transport, and agriculture. It outlines how business and government can collaborate to bridge the gap between current efforts and necessary ambition. This report was launched via a webinar exploring UK climate leadership.

Scientists recently discovered bats, like Tuvan throat singers and death-metal vocalists, produce sound using ventricular folds instead of vocal cords. A Danish biologist found bats use these for low-frequency calls. With their ability to also make extremely high-pitched calls, bats possess an unparalleled vocal range. The Center for Biological Diversity argues this makes them more akin to grindcore vocalists, who utilize both very low and very high frequencies.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to secure a future for all species through science, law, and creative media. Check out our video to hear biodiversity-loving grindcore artists and see brutally cute bats. Learn more at biologicaldiversity.org or email us at center@biologicaldiversity.org.

Ahead of COP26, Eliot Whittington, Director of the Corporate Leaders Groups (CLG), interviewed Colin Matthews, Non-Executive Chairman of EDF Energy. Their discussion explored challenges and opportunities in decarbonising the energy sector, alongside desired outcomes from the landmark climate summit.

Founded in 2005 under HRH The Prince of Wales, the CLG has consistently defined the UK’s business response to climate change. It built consensus across the UK business community for climate action, notably supporting the Climate Change Act, and now represents progressive business voices globally.

The CLG is convened by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), which provides world-leading expertise on sustainability and a deep understanding of the political landscape.
