The Ocean Panel's Blue Paper envisions a sustainable ocean economy over the next 25 years, exploring future employment across various sectors. Drawing on expert consultation and data, it offers guidance for stakeholders to achieve this vision.

A just transition, prioritizing inclusion and fairness, is crucial. The paper highlights key challenges: data limitations, skills gaps, insufficient training and education (especially in developing nations), regional infrastructure disparities, and inadequate funding and institutional capacity.

Ecological futurist Tariq Al-Olaimy highlights "spiritual infrastructure" as a key, often-overlooked resilient system. He's observed how faith networks—like church basements and mosque yards—sustain disaster-stricken communities long before formal aid arrives.

Drawing on a decade with global faith coalitions, Al-Olaimy explores why spiritual traditions are uniquely equipped to navigate moments of collapse. He suggests aligning our inner values, economies, and ecosystems is essential for restoring life on a changing planet. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 18, 2025)

Eric Ries, creator of the Lean Startup method and author of *The Lean Startup*, will discuss his upcoming book, *Incorruptible*. He posits that all commercial and civic infrastructure, though seemingly immutable, can be reinvented. Ries will explore how founders and leaders can build incorruptible organizations designed to last for decades and tangibly support human flourishing.

His Long Now Talk, facilitated by Denise Hearn, will delve into architecting accountability and governance mechanisms that outlive their creators and remain resilient across generations. Ries emphasizes imagining institutions future generations will thank us for, ensuring today's organizational choices become liberating structures rather than inherited constraints. His new book, *Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad…and How Great Companies Stay Great*, is available May 28, 2026.
