Indy Johar argues that humanity's first view of Earth from space initiated "planetary self-awareness," urging us to reimagine civilization as a global endeavor. Facing climate instability and AI's transformative impact, he advocates for "civilizational optionality"—a buffer against cascading shocks. He suggests embracing our limited knowledge fosters curiosity, tenderness, and care.

Johar envisions human-machine systems enhancing our capacity for complex discourse, defining intelligence as a conversational field for collective sense-making. This talk, presented January 27, 02026, is part of the Long Now Talks series, which fosters long-term thinking.

Rising chronic diseases are partly linked to hazardous chemicals leaching from plastic food packaging and utensils. While food packaging pollutants are a public health concern, research on a strong causal link between plastics and conditions like infertility or immune disorders is still developing. TEDx events are independently organized; guidelines are available here.

In her TEDx talk, Dr. Jane Muncke explains chemical migration from plastic food contact materials and discusses regulatory gaps. She advocates for inert materials like glass and stainless steel. As Managing Director of the Food Packaging Forum (FPF), Dr. Muncke co-founded the organization to share scientific information on food packaging’s health and environmental impacts.

Environmental advocate Kristy Drutman, known as "Browngirl Green," argues that connection, not just information, is the missing ingredient in solving climate change. Inspired by her Filipino grandmother, Kristy believes personal engagement changes behavior faster than statistics.

Through community-centered platforms like Brown Girl Green and the Green Jobs Board, Kristy demonstrates how systemic change happens when climate action feels personal and inclusive. As a speaker, media producer, and entrepreneur, she educates hundreds of thousands globally, bridging equity gaps within the green economy by bringing diverse talent into the environmental field.

This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Hemp transforms into textile fiber through a multi-stage process. Initially, harvested hemp stalks undergo retting, where moisture and microbes break down pectin, separating the long bast fibers

Hemp transforms into textile fiber through a multi-stage process. Initially, harvested hemp stalks undergo retting, where moisture and microbes break down pectin, separating the long bast fibers from the woody core. This crucial step can occur naturally in fields (dew retting) or in controlled water tanks.

Following retting, mechanical decortication further separates and cleans the fibers. These refined fibers are then scutched and hackled to align them, preparing them for spinning. Finally, the processed hemp fibers are spun into yarn, which is subsequently woven or knitted into durable textiles.

NASA analyses indicate that two key climate change indicators broke multiple records in the first half of 2016. Each of the first six months of 2016 was the warmest globally since modern temperature records began in 1880.

Furthermore, five of these months recorded the smallest Arctic sea ice extent since consistent satellite records started in 1979. NASA researchers are currently collecting additional data to better understand our changing climate.

Black and Latino students earn 18% of computer science degrees but represent only 5% of the tech workforce at leading companies. Media coverage is crucial in highlighting this disparity and industry efforts to foster diversity.

New America CA Fellow Laura Weidman Powers, co-founder and CEO of CODE2040, will moderate a discussion.

She will ask leading journalists Ellen Huet (Bloomberg), Jessica Guynn (USA Today), and Megan Rose Dickey (TechCrunch) about their role, coverage choices, and the future of diversity in tech.

FAO’s Farmer Field Schools (FFS) trained 150 farmers in rural Aleppo, promoting good agricultural and climate-smart practices specifically for olive trees.

This intervention was implemented under the United Nations Joint Programme (UNJP), a collaborative effort of six UN agencies: FAO, UNDP, UNFPA, UN-Habitat, UNICEF, and WFP. The program received support from Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden.
