Billions of pounds of plastic packaging pollute our oceans annually. Seaweed offers a sustainable solution. Researchers are unlocking its potential as a scalable packaging material, growing without fresh water, fertilizer, or soil, and returning nutrients. Farmed globally, its expansion could create 100 million jobs.

Julia Marsh, CEO of Sway, leads this innovation. Sway's seaweed-based films perform like plastic, use existing infrastructure, and fully compost. Marsh champions ocean health and regenerative materials, proving nature's solution to plastic.

The Center for Biological Diversity is again under attack. Far-right congressmen on the House Resources Committee have launched a baseless "investigation" against us for protecting the Arctic and polar bears from an oil conglomerate. Our Executive Director, Kierán, denounced this as a weaponization of government power, a smear tactic by oil-funded politicians to silence environmental advocates.

This "investigation" is a politically motivated witch hunt, devoid of legal merit and making absurd accusations. To combat this antidemocratic power-mongering and defend our critical work, we've established the Freedom Defense Fund. Your support is crucial to our survival against these persistent threats. Please donate today, or consider a monthly contribution to sustain our defense.

This video documents a Norwegian-funded project, a strategic partnership between Norway, FAO, and Jordan's Ministry of Agriculture, transforming agrifood systems and aligning with the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. It showcases how international cooperation modernizes the agricultural sector.

A unique participatory model involves 27 beneficiaries—Jordanians, Syrian refugees, men, and women—collectively managing 27 greenhouses. This fosters expertise exchange, diverse crop production, and market scale, empowering vulnerable youth and rural women. The project embodies FAO's "Four Betters" (Better Production, Nutrition, Environment, Life), ensuring sustainable development leaves no one behind.

In 2025, The Ocean Cleanup achieved a record-breaking year, removing over 25 million kilograms of waste from aquatic environments, bringing their total catch to 46 million kilograms. They also deployed two new Interceptors in Honduras and Panama.

Expanding their mission, the organization launched the 30 Cities Program to stop one-third of river plastic emissions into oceans, and introduced Coastal Sweeps for legacy plastic near shores. Developing new technologies further solidified 2025 as their most impactful year yet.

The Amazon Rainforest, particularly in Ecuador, faces a critical tipping point from rampant deforestation and extractive industries. Ecuador's deforestation surged 80% from 2021, destroying 18,902 hectares. This crisis violates Indigenous rights, sacrifices global ecosystems, and puts Indigenous women land defenders at heightened risk.

The WECAN Indigenous Women of the Ecuadorian Amazon Reforestation and Forest Protection project, led by Kichwa Pueblo leader Patricia Gualinga, restores and defends 135,000 hectares of Sarayaku territory. This project safeguards endemic tree species through reforestation, forest monitoring, and advocacy, explicitly avoiding market-based mechanisms like carbon offsets.

Political and economic shocks present opportunities for market transformation. In this episode, Jonquil Hackenberg (Ellen MacArthur Foundation) and Lindsay Hooper (Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership) discuss how businesses can collaborate to drive system-wide change.

They explore catalysing market interventions, designing out competitive disadvantages, and building pre-competitive coalitions. Harnessing business and private sector power is crucial for real transformation towards a circular economy, which eliminates waste and regenerates nature.

Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference.

Network virtualization, also known as network slicing, allows multiple isolated logical networks to coexist on a single physical infrastructure without performance or security interference. Initially envisioned to evolve Internet architecture, it later provided bandwidth guarantees for cloud applications in data centers.

Now a pillar of 5G and beyond mobile networks, network slicing delivers differentiated services with stringent requirements. Despite significant research over two decades, its end-to-end deployment remains unrealized. This talk covered its genesis, evolution, key challenges, solutions, and the outlook for 5G+ network slicing.
