We’re about to get started on talking AI for Just Transition.

Today we recognize March 30th as International Zero Waste Day. This year’s theme is to focus on food waste. The annual waste generation is expected to hit 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050 wich continues to cause significant harm to our climate.

Join us by choosing one small habit you can stick with this week. Some examples include carrying a reusable bag and choosing refillable products, composting food scraps (easy and can be done from home), saying NO to single use plastic, or considering a donation of any extra canned goods to a local food pantry.

Established in 2022, the annual UN International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness is intended to promote better understanding of the importance of disarmament of weapons of mass destruction, whether nuclear, biological, chemical, or conventional.

The goal is to raise awareness of young people in particular around the risks these weapons pose, and the corresponding benefit of limiting them: enhanced global peace, reduction of conflict, and reduced global suffering.

In 2024 -
- the world spent $2.7 trillion on its militaries
- 1 in 12 people worldwide faced hunger

Less than 4% of that spend, $93 billion annually, would end global hunger by 2030.

It’s Human Rights Day!
