Join Pathways to Planetary Health for a discussion with Rebecca Henderson (Harvard University) and Jonathan F.P. Rose. They will explore modern capitalism's failings and how purpose-driven businesses can foster sustainable, ethical economies with motivated personnel. Henderson highlights capitalism's success but also its self-destructive risk, asserting that purpose is crucial.

Cutting-edge research shows that firms prioritizing social value over pure profit are significantly more productive and creative, driving essential social and political change. This interactive online event is part of the Garrison Institute’s Forum on Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH), which examines the moral and behavioral dimensions of regenerative solutions.

The Garrison Institute's first 2022 Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH) Forum, recorded on January 25, featured Dr. Haley Mellin (Art-to-Acres, Conserve.org) and Dr. Steven Brumby (Impact Observatory). Joined by co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose, they discussed innovative large-scale conservation, biodiversity's role in planetary health, and visualization to support these goals.

The event focused on the "Half-Earth" pathway, which emphasizes conserving 50% of terrestrial and ocean areas by 2050 in biodiversity-rich zones and connecting corridors. This aims to stabilize life and climate, though it is one necessary component of planetary health, not singularly sufficient. Learn more about all four PPH pathways and events here.

This excerpt is from a panel presentation at the Business In The Community Ireland Summit on Corporate Responsibility, held in November 2010.

The panel featured experts including James Quincey (The Coca-Cola Company), Sir Stuart Rose (Marks & Spencer), and Gerard O'Neill of Amarach Research.

O'Neill highlighted how marketers' 'pricing trap' hinders sustainability initiatives. He argued that while price accounts for only 30% of a purchase decision, emotion and feelings drive 70%. Emphasizing trust and the social environment is crucial for consumers to move beyond price-driven choices.

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.

Electric scooters, skateboards, and bicycles are increasingly prevalent in cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C., sparking varied public reactions. Ride-hailing companies, including Uber and Lyft, are actively acquiring bike-sharing services, signaling a significant shift in urban transportation.

This surge in two-wheeled options raises critical questions about the future of urban mobility. Are these new solutions effectively addressing the notorious first-mile and last-mile transportation challenges?

Join Stuart Cohen, Sanjay Dastoor, and Megan Rose Dickey for a conversation on these new urban wheels, their impact on city travel, and their role in cutting carbon emissions.

A Kenyan company is transforming human faeces into eco-fuel, offering a sustainable energy alternative that combats deforestation. This innovative approach addresses energy demand while protecting forests.

The revolutionary fuel, made from human waste, sawdust, and rose waste, burns twice as long as local charcoal with one-third of the emissions. Each tonne sold saves approximately 88 trees, prevents pollution, and creates local jobs.

This initiative, part of the #OurPlanet collaboration with the World Economic Forum, highlights what's possible in tackling climate change and restoring nature.
