Foreign policy expert Fiona Hill, from a coal-mining town, served under three presidents. Her book, "There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century," warns of America's socioeconomic collapse and authoritarian shift, advocating for expanded opportunity.

Hill discussed these insights with Ellen Nakashima (The Washington Post) on October 12, 2021. This program is part of the Good Lit series by The Commonwealth Club, the nation's oldest public affairs forum.

NAU will host renowned author, botanist, and MacArthur Fellow Robin Wall Kimmerer for a free public talk on September 9, 2025. Kimmerer, celebrated for her book "Braiding Sweetgrass," will share insights on Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and plant teachings.

This event is part of the 17th Biennial Conference of Science & Management, organized by NAU’s Center for Adaptable Western Landscapes (CAWL). The talk will be livestreamed.

Scientists have long studied climate change; now, the focus must shift to implementing solutions. As a technologist, I see immense potential for innovation to mitigate warming impacts—from preventing deforestation and preserving biodiversity to ensuring food security. The ambitious goal, central to "Operation Earth," is to leverage technology not just to limit warming, but to reverse damage and reduce global temperatures by one degree Celsius.

This urgent call to action comes from Daniela Rus, Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and a distinguished professor. Her expertise in robotics and data science highlights the innovative approaches required. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event, which you can learn more about here.

Join us as we explore the lives of small-scale fishers in South Africa. Episode 1 visits Arniston, home to ancient Khoi and San fish traps, featuring an interview with fisherwoman Rowina Europa. We then journey to Gordons Bay to hear from local fisherfolk about climate change's impact on their livelihoods.

This episode is produced by Shaldon Ferris (Khoisan), with interviews including Nico Fredericks, Ellen Mandelozi, and 'Lulu'. Music credits feature saxophone by Tyso, "Natasha" by The Hot Shots, and "Burn your village to the ground" by The Halluci Nation.

Nearly 800 million people lack sufficient food, and two billion suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. As the global population grows, food production must dramatically increase. Our oceans offer a powerful solution: by restoring them, we can feed the world.

Fish are a "perfect protein"—nutritious, inexpensive to produce, and require no farmland or freshwater. A fully restored ocean could sustainably provide a healthy fish meal daily for over one billion people. We can achieve this by implementing three basic steps in just 25 countries: managing catch and protecting vital habitats.

The textiles industry's linear "take-make-waste" model has a significant environmental impact. To counter this, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation proposes universal circular economy policy goals. A key objective is to "make the economics work," fostering circular business models (resale, rental, repair) through incentives and regulations to make them the norm.

An April 27th episode explored how policy can enable this transition in fashion and textiles. Experts from the European Commission, European Environment Agency, and Swedish EPA shared perspectives on increasing circular business model adoption.

The circular economy is gaining traction in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), prompting eight institutions to launch the LAC Circular Economy Coalition. This initiative supports countries and fosters multi-stakeholder collaboration.

A recent panel discussion, streamed live on February 16th, featured coalition representatives including Adriana Zacarias Farah (UNEP), Rose Mwebaza (CTCN), Luisa Santiago (Ellen MacArthur Foundation), and Rolando Castro (MINAE Costa Rica).
