Despite ongoing CO2 emission challenges, the renewable energy sector is growing rapidly. Building on this, we host a two-part panel discussion with B Corps leading SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy. This event, part of B Lab's "17 days for 17 goals" campaign, highlights the B Corp movement's commitment to the 2030 SDG agenda.

Part 1 will explore the vital role of businesses in the energy transition, with experts sharing insights on scaling solutions across diverse markets. Part 2 will focus on collaboration, presenting a case study with Patagonia’s "We The Power" and REScoop, offering unique perspectives on community-led transformation, company-non-profit partnerships, and actionable advice for advancing SDG 7 and reducing impact.

New research highlights how decades of U.S. housing policy have created urban environments where prosperous, white neighborhoods enjoy ample tree shade, while low-income communities of color lack green spaces. National Geographic writer Alejandra Borunda explores how activists are working to make Los Angeles greener and healthier for everyone, emphasizing that solutions extend beyond simply planting more trees.

Gerhard Dust, an entrepreneur, was inspired by the 2010 Haiti earthquake. This led to a decade-long development of revolutionary polymeric concrete from desert sand and PET plastics. Hard as granite and shaped like LEGO bricks, this innovation enables houses to be built in a single day. He applied this in Africa, fostering a local circular economy. His talk details this journey and its potential to transform construction.

Dr. Dust's career spanned construction and the book industry, notably as COO of Libri (1991-2008), known for automated distribution systems. Driven by the Haiti crisis, he founded PolyCare in 2010. The company's award-winning construction process has since earned over 20 international accolades. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The linear, extractive economic model poses increasing risks to the global economy and its financial sector. This episode presents new evidence from Bocconi University on the circular economy's de-risking effect, driven by resource decoupling and business model diversification, creating opportunities for investors and financial institutions.

We'll be joined by Max Tellini, Head of Circular Economy at Intesa Sanpaolo, and Professor Claudio Zara, Researcher at Bocconi University, in conversation with Emily Healy from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

Chad, a researcher, ecologist, and science communicator, is deeply committed to sustainability. Growing up immersed in Nova Scotia's biodiversity, he now pursues an MSc in Biology at Dalhousie University.

As an ecologist with the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute, Chad's diverse work includes researching rare plants, tracking invasive species, and searching for endangered turtles. His graduate project explores Nova Scotia's natural areas, uncovering details about their forest homes.

Chad aims to continue fighting for the natural world, researching ecosystems, and guiding society towards a sustainable future. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at TEDx website.

Supermarkets, controlled by a few retailers, offer global food at low prices but contribute to consumer disconnection, overconsumption, and resource waste. This highlights critical issues in our food systems.

Dr. Emma Campbell, a Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast, focuses on sustainable relationships between people, food, and place. She uses design and systems-thinking to address these complex problems.

Currently, Emma works on the Innovate UK-funded Ideal Home project with Moy Park. This initiative aims to redesign poultry infrastructure to boost productivity, enhance animal welfare, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. Her talk was given at a TEDx event.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) offers a powerful solution to fuel the future, capable of replacing fossil fuels for industrial processes like steel and cement manufacturing, thereby reducing global carbon emissions. CSP systems use arrays of revolving mirrors (heliostats) to precisely reflect sunlight into a central receiver, generating immense heat.

Recent advancements in AI and machine learning are making CSP technology smarter, more efficient, and increasingly affordable. Innovators like Heliogen, backed by Bill Gates, leverage software to optimize mirror control, making solar energy cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels. This progress paves the way for global adoption, as explored in the "Hard Reset" series.
