Biodiversity is our friend. The UN Biodiversity Conference is under way in Cali, Colombia, reminding us of how thriving ecosystems can protect communities and assets from disasters; so, naturally, our first couple of updates embrace nature, with some interesting findings on how forests can fight floods and how marshes can serve as coastal protection. We also have some insights into the role that cultural burning plays in managing wildfire risks in Australia, and a new method for measuring tremors – using fibreoptic data cables.
Then we present some problems in need of solutions: how land subsidence is changing coastal flood risks, how more frequent floods are affecting those who are most vulnerable, challenges for maritime supply chains, and how sweltering workplaces are eroding productivity.

How to make a positive difference? As a stellar Servant and Transformational leader, I partner with experts across the private, public, and social sectors to drive transformation through digital, analytics, and design to tackle challenges and achieve great results. Together, we leverage cutting-edge technologies and harness AI responsibly, smartly and intelligently. 1) What is Policy? During the 2024 Global Media and Information Literacy Week, and every day, how to verify facts by asking basic questions and doing additional research before sharing content online? 2) What is the role of the C-suite executives? How to define the fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors? 3) What is organizational culture? How to assess the responsibilities of Members of the Steering Committee, Oversight Committee, and Council of the Board? What is a Social Digital Platform? Does what we share online have consequences in the real world? Can misinformation result in people being left uninformed and at risk?
