This UNPFII side event features global Indigenous women leaders who are upholding Indigenous rights and knowledge while leading climate solutions. They address the impacts of fossil fuels, deforestation, and the climate crisis on their communities, sharing how they implement solutions, practice traditional knowledge, and advance policies for care and climate justice.

The event includes prominent Indigenous women leaders from various nations and organizations across Turtle Island/USA, Nepal, Ecuador, and Canada. Osprey Orielle Lake, WECAN Executive Director, moderates the discussions.

In 1969, 14-year-old Beatle fanatic Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's Toronto hotel room and secured an interview. Thirty-eight years later, Levitan collaborated with director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina to create "I Met the Walrus," an animated short film using that original recording.

This spellbinding film, a vessel for Lennon's wit and timeless message, garnered critical acclaim. It was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won a 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches,' becoming the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet.

Challenging the resource-intensive "bigger is better" trend of Large Language Models (LLMs), this webinar introduced the Expressive Neural Network (ENN). This novel architecture rethinks activation functions using classical signal processing (Discrete Cosine Transform), resulting in enhanced flexibility, faster convergence, and significantly smaller, more energy-efficient AI models.

ENNs demonstrate how traditional signal processing can inspire next-generation AI, enabling efficient edge computing in resource-constrained environments. This approach prioritizes expressiveness over sheer size for future neural networks. The webinar featured speaker Ana Pérez-Neira, moderated by Ian F. Akyildiz and Alessia Magliarditi. It was organized by the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU-J FET).
