Rizky Oktaviana endured 18 months of unpaid labor as a fisher on a trawling vessel, witnessing illegal fishing practices and harsh conditions. Now, he advocates for the rights of migrant fishers, highlighting that at least 128,000 fishers are currently trapped in forced labor at sea. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing not only exploits workers but also threatens marine ecosystems and global food security, costing between $26 to $50 billion annually.

To combat these abuses, coordinated action is essential, including stronger protections from policymakers and transparency in seafood supply chains. Learn more about fishers' journeys from exploitation to advocacy and how we can work together for a better future for fishers and our oceans: Fishers Speak Out.

Despite a reduction in conflict, food production in northeast Syria remains a significant challenge due to climatic shocks, limited extension services, and high input costs. Many families struggle

Despite a reduction in conflict, food production in northeast Syria remains a significant challenge due to climatic shocks, limited extension services, and high input costs. Many families struggle to produce the food they need for survival.

With support from SHF, FAO has provided 4,500 farming households (27,000 people) with vegetable production packages, including seeds and organic fertilizer. This timely assistance helps vulnerable families grow fresh vegetables, safeguard their livelihoods, and lessen their dependence on humanitarian aid.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game plans to kill bears to save the struggling Mulchatna caribou herd, which has plummeted from 200,000 to 16,000. However, scientists and conservation groups,

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game plans to kill bears to save the struggling Mulchatna caribou herd, which has plummeted from 200,000 to 16,000. However, scientists and conservation groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, contend this program lacks scientific support. Courts have already ruled against the initiative.

Independent experts identify disease and food scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, as the primary drivers of the caribou's decline, not bear predation. They assert that killing bears will not achieve long-term recovery. Wildlife management should prioritize science, sustainability, and ecosystem protection over scapegoating.

The 2024 Synthesis Progress Report and an FAO survey revealed significant challenges in funding Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) activities, citing limited institutional funding, technical capacity gaps, and stringent donor requirements. These findings inform new Guidelines on Resource Mobilization (RM) for National Coordinators. A webinar will present these guidelines, facilitating cross-regional exchange on challenges and opportunities in managing AnGR programs.

Tiffany Marcelle notes that while youth are increasingly invited into environmental and food policy discussions, their participation often lacks meaning. She highlights that young people frequently lack necessary training and warns against tokenism. The focus must shift to equipping youth with skills, support, and genuine influence to contribute effectively to policy processes.

In this powerful talk, actor, rockstar, and animal activist Nina Bergman challenges the outdated notion that vegans lack strength. Her radical journey from a meat-obsessed culture to a relentless plant-based warrior defies stereotypes, proving that living vegan is an act of fierce strength, resilience, and compassion.

Through decades of nutritional self-experimentation and activism, Nina reveals how she became a "mean, lean, vegan machine." This isn't about trends; it's about transformation. Nina is living proof this lifestyle works, inspiring others to rethink what it means to be strong. This TEDx talk was independently organized. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

This excerpt from my keynote at a PPC Greece event highlights two major forces shaping businesses today: climate change and artificial intelligence (AI). By 2030, we face a climate emergency

This excerpt from my keynote at a PPC Greece event highlights two major forces shaping businesses today: climate change and artificial intelligence (AI). By 2030, we face a climate emergency driven by rising temperatures and extreme weather, yet we have the solutions; what we lack is political will. Investing in climate technology is crucial, especially in areas like battery storage and precision agriculture. Redirecting the $6.8 trillion spent on gas subsidies could significantly aid the green energy transition.

AI is transforming efficiency in the workplace, with generative AI making professionals more productive. As machines become capable of tasks traditionally performed by humans, we must consider the implications for jobs and innovation. I believe millennials will lead this paradigm shift towards sustainability and a focus on people and purpose by 2030. For more insights, visit thehumanresistance.net.

The WSIS Prizes, announced May 28, 2024, recognized innovative technological approaches supporting sustainable development and bridging the digital divide. Projects from 18 countries received top honors for fostering digital inclusion and socio-economic progress.

Among these efforts, the Tanzania Digital Inclusion Project (TADIP) addresses internet poverty in Tanzania, where suspected telecom collusion leads to unaffordable access. TADIP utilizes a "strength in numbers" cooperative model, enabling communities to share broadband infrastructure and data costs. This approach aims to provide affordable, meaningful internet to 4 million citizens, offer digital skills to 1.5 million youth and women, engage 100,000 girls in STEM, and establish 200 community innovation hubs.

Its core mission is cost-sharing, not profit, to ensure widespread, affordable internet access. Learn more about TADIP on LinkedIn.

In 2022, aspiring marine biologist Asa Miller, with deep roots in Cuba, learned about coral restoration efforts in the country's Matanzas Province. Recognizing that developing nations like Cuba disproportionately suffer from global coral loss and often lack resources, Miller launched `¡Viva el Vivero!` (Long Live the Nursery!) in 2023. This international campaign to restore Cuba's stunning coral reefs has since won multiple conservation awards.

During visits to Matanzas, 17-year-old Miller interviewed divers and scientists, analyzed coral nursery data, and mapped restoration sites. Back in New York, he founded a high school marine biology club to raise funds for planting coral fragments. Miller also produced an award-winning documentary showcasing his team's restoration methods, serving as a primer for other developing countries.
