This CISL webinar explores the "Better business: Re-thinking business models for nature positive outcomes" report. Funded by UKRI and EU-Horizon as part of the A-Track project, it advocates for a systemic, transformational shift towards a nature-positive economy, moving beyond operational changes. The aim is to identify and scale profitable business models aligned with global nature goals.

Eliot Whittington discusses the work's broader policy context, while lead author Anum Sheikh presents key implications for business. Harry Greenfield details how businesses can engage in this three-year project through workshops, hackathons, and pilots, benefiting from CISL's innovation and advisory expertise.

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.

Amid global challenges, corporate sustainability faces a massive shift. How can businesses navigate media scrutiny, political pressure, and boardroom backlash to redefine their approach?

In this episode, Lou and Mark Lancelot from Better Business Design discuss how the Chief Sustainability Officer's role is evolving. They explore reshaping the narrative around sustainability and circular economy goals for positive boardroom reception.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, accelerates the transition to a circular economy to address climate change, waste, and pollution.

FAO Chief Economist Maximo Torero delivered a video message for the International Day of the Potato, celebrated at the FAO FoodS Lab. The theme, "Where potatoes grow, livelihoods flourish," highlights the crop's vital global role in supporting farmers and value chain actors, from its Andean origin to communities worldwide.

Promoting sustainable potato production and strengthening value chains helps reduce poverty, build resilience, and foster inclusive, sustainable agrifood systems.

Data centers are significant energy consumers. By designing them for flexibility, their power demand can align with the availability of clean energy on the grid. Non-urgent computing tasks can be paused or accelerated, allowing data centers to slow down when renewables are scarce and speed up when abundant, transforming them into valuable grid assets.

Professor Ayse Coskun, Chief Scientist at Emerald AI and a Boston University professor, is a leader in this emerging field of flexible, grid-aware computing. Her research applies AI and machine learning to optimize cloud systems, making this innovative approach a real-world solution.
