Episode 203

Indigenous Stewardship in Montana & the Future of Wildlife

About the song:
This song is a heartfelt reminder of our shared responsibility to protect and cherish the planet. It emphasizes unity, environmental awareness, and the beauty of nature, encouraging teenagers to stand together and build a brighter, sustainable future for all. Teaching kids about the environment helps them understand the impact of their actions and empowers them to make positive changes for a better world.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
From the rising skyline, to the ocean’s low tide,
Through the greenest valleys, to the mountains so wide,
This world is our home, where we walk side by side,
It’s a place for you and me.

Chorus
This world is our home, where the rivers flow free,
From the sunlit plains, to the deep blue sea,
Together we stand, hand in hand we’ll be,
'Cause this world is for you and me.

Verse 2
Through the fields of flowers, under endless skies,
Where the forest whispers, and the eagle flies,
We protect the earth, keeping hope alive,
For a future wild and free.

Chorus
This world is our home, where the rivers flow free,
From the sunlit plains, to the deep blue sea,
Together we stand, hand in hand we’ll be,
'Cause this world is for you and me.

Bridge
Let’s build a future, where the stars still shine,
Where the air is pure, and the trees climb high,
We’ll treasure this land, every hill, every line,
In this world of harmony.

Outro
This world is our home, from the sky to the sea,
From the peaks up high, to the forest so green,
Together we stand, in unity we’ll be,
'Cause this world is for you and me.

A Place For Us All Version 1

Episode 37 - Maximising the Potential of Sustainable Tech in Today’s Housing Landscape

This is one of my best talks on AI and #artificialgeneralintelligence - I hope you like it! Please share widely if you do:). The talk was delivered in what I now call #superkeynote format, hence the wide-screen video here.

For more details on this event: http://eng.seoulfuture.co.kr/
Thanks to  @seoulspeakersbureau4728 for bringing me to this event!
 
I first explore the concept of intelligence, contrasting human intelligence (HI) with #artificialintelligence and human #consciousness versus the binary (but soon, limitless) computing powers of machines. 
I discuss the impacts of AI on society, including potential benefits such as advancements in healthcare and sustainable / green technologies, as well as potentially existential risks related to misalignment, dehumanisation, abuse and over-reliance. 
As we face major global changes driven by what I call the 3 Revolutions (digital, sustainability, and purpose), I emphasize the need to balance technological progress with ethical considerations #digitalethics.
I advocate for using AI as a TOOL rather than a replacement for human capabilities, stressing the importance of collaboration and holistic policy-making to ensure a positive future for all.

The Planet Callin'

In this episode, we delve into the controversial and complex world of deep seabed mining. We feature a panel of experts from the Wonderful World Festival in Norway [https://www.wonderfulworld.no/] discussing the environmental, economic, and geopolitical implications of extracting minerals from the ocean floor. Marine Scientists, a documentary filmmaker, mining industry officials debate the need for and consequences from extracting rare earth minerals for renewable energy technologies. Discover the unknowns of the deep sea, the ethical considerations, and the potential impact on future generations. Join us as we explore whether the pursuit of these resources is truly necessary and the role of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the ocean's mysteries.

We start with an introduction by panel moderator, Anders Dunker.

Next are excerpts from a TED Talk by Sandor Mulsow, Marine Geologist from Chile. Also included is the trailer of the documentary film DEEP Rising, which he is featured in.

Deep Sea Mining and the Green Transition: Will Marine Ecosystems Survive?

Sushma Shankar is an engineer and the co-founder of Deep Planet, an agritech company that uses satellite data to help farmers get the best out of their land in the face of climate change. 
The company was born out of a conversation in the pub where Sushma and her co-founders, Natalia Efremova and David Carter, had gathered after their Oxford Executive MBA course. Their aim was to use their combined knowledge and experience for the benefit of the planet and the people who look after it. Sushma talks to Kathy about her journey from demonstrating the world’s first 4G phone call to leading a pioneering tech company. And she reflects on the challenges of being a female leader in a sector traditionally dominated by men.

725 — Trump win boosts far-right: Back civil resistance in US; Unite the left for socialist policies

In this two-part podcast series, we are exploring why efforts to mitigate climate change need to be aware of women’s equality and why efforts to achieve women’s equality must respond to the climate crisis. 

This series is a joint project from the Oxford Human Rights Hub, led by Professor Sandra Fredman, and the National Research Foundation-funded South African Research Chair in Equality, Law, and Social Justice at the University of the Witwatersrand, held by Professor Cathi Albertyn. 

The conversations in this podcast series stem from a new edited collection, ‘Feminist Frontiers in Climate Justice: Rights, climate change and gender equality’, published by Edward Elgar in February 2023 and edited by Cathi Albertyn, Meghan Campbell, Helena Alviar García, Sandra Fredman, and Marta Rodriguez de Assis Machado.

RightsUp is brought to you by the Oxford Human Rights Hub.
Executive Produced by Meghan Campbell.
Produced, edited and narrated by Sophie Smith.
Music for this series is by Rosemary Allmann.

Feminist Frontiers in Climate Justice - Climate Injustice: A Gendered Global Crisis

The Oxford Human Rights Hub (OxHRH) aims to bring together academics, practitioners, and policy-makers from across the globe to advance the understanding and protection of human rights and equality. Through the vigorous exchange of ideas and resources, we strive to facilitate a better understanding of human rights principles, to develop new approaches to policy, and to influence the development of human rights law and practice.

Hello. Lew here, writing to you from my tiny studio in Cardiff, UK. I like guitars and banjos and mandolins and synthesizers and drum machines. My debut album "No Horse" is a country synthpop combination of all of those. Lyrically, it focuses on the ideas of the separate self as an illusion, goals as one-way tickets to disappointment, and how in that context everyday human interaction seems absurd. I also like lap steels and a lot of backing vocals. They're on the album, too.
My songs 'It Isn't Love' and 'Christmas in Secret' are the first singles to be released from an album coming in 2025.
I'm a one-man-band, and I'm working on new music all the time. I'll keep you posted.
Let's be music friends.
