The WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event, from May 27-31, 2024, commemorates two decades since the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) established a global framework for digital cooperation. WSIS aimed to build inclusive, people-centric information societies.

This milestone event will facilitate multistakeholder discussions to review progress, trends, and future opportunities since the 2003 Geneva Plan of Action. Co-organized by ITU, UNESCO, UNDP, and UNCTAD, and co-hosted by ITU and the Swiss Confederation, it will support both in-person and remote participation.

Scientists recently filmed octopuses throwing seashells and debris at each other, possibly for social reasons. This adds them to a select group of animals known to hurl objects. Females initiated most throws (66%), often during mating, with 17% hitting their underwater targets.

Our brains are wired for the familiar, but changing this wiring can transform your life. Neuroscientist Nicole Vignola explains how deeply rooted beliefs, often shaped by upbringing and natural biases like negativity and confirmation, can limit our potential and keep us trapped in old thought patterns.

However, our brains are capable of change at any age. By practicing metacognition—observing our thoughts—and challenging automatic beliefs, we can rewire our perceptions and create empowering new narratives. This approach helps us break free, fostering a mindset for human optimization, health, and peak performance. Read more from Nicole Vignola here.

On June 24, 2018, an interfaith gathering for Immigrant Justice protested President Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon. Participants prayed, sang, and read scripture, opposing the internment of 123 refugees and the separation of parents from their children.

Despite officials portraying objectors as "radicals," diverse Portlanders united, led by love, to condemn the policy as immoral and support detainees. Freedom for Immigrants (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/) offers data on detention, highlighting it as a major industry. This event was filmed by Ruth Ann Barrett.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the authoritative source on climate change, responsible for effectively communicating vital information. Nearing the end of its Sixth Assessment Cycle, it's an important moment to reflect on past communication successes, challenges, and lessons learned for future reports.

International media and science communities are invited to mark the launch of a new Topical Collection (TC) in the journal *Climatic Change*. This TC focuses on Climate Change Communication and the IPCC, showcasing expert research and policy insights relevant to the IPCC's work.

A diverse panel of authors will present key findings from three TC papers on public understanding, engaging young people, and democratizing knowledge. IPCC Vice Chair Thelma Krug will offer critical reflections, followed by a Q&A session and a 'pitch contest' to conclude the event.

Europe's transition to a greener economy is progressing too slowly to meet climate objectives. While current EU energy legislation addresses 55% of emissions, a circular economy can tackle the remaining 45% derived from material production.

A recent paper highlights how a circular economy offers a double-win: significant energy savings and reduced emissions. This approach is crucial, especially given Europe's energy and climate crisis, exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. It underscores the need to reduce fossil fuel dependence, boost energy efficiency, ensure resilient supplies, and optimize material use.
