Join us for an online talk with acclaimed environmental journalist Eugene Linden, author of nine non-fiction books. He will discuss his new book, *Fire and Flood*, which examines how business interests have historically obscured scientific warnings and hindered climate action. Linden, whose *Winds of Change* won the Grantham Prize, previously covered environmental issues for *Time*.

In *Fire and Flood*, Linden reveals how big money prioritizes short-term profits over long-term threats. He details the insurance industry's dramatic shift, now retreating from high-risk regions like Florida and California due to unmanageable fire and flood risks. This signals a broader business awakening to the urgent need for rapid climate action as long-term consequences become immediate.

The fashion industry's "take-make-waste" model drives climate and ecological crises. The Nature of Fashion project, with global partners, tackles this by demonstrating decomposition's potential for a regenerative, nature-positive future, proving a circular economy is already emerging through practical interventions.

In an AskNature Hive conversation, Andrew Keys (Circle Economy) and Asha Singhal (Nature of Fashion) explored transforming the industry by learning from nature, shifting economic models, and driving a circular transition. Hosted by AskNature Coordinator, Ayoade Balogun.

Robin Wall Kimmerer emphasizes the transformative power of stories to shift our worldview. She suggests living "as if the world is a gift for which I need to be grateful, for which I need to reciprocate, for whom I am accountable," believing that a changed narrative can align our behaviors with nature.

Kimmerer joins AskNature to discuss cultural biomimicry, blending Western science with traditional ecological knowledge to navigate climate uncertainty. She also champions Plant Baby Plant, a grassroots movement encouraging people to "Raise a garden, and raise a ruckus!" Discover more at plantbabyplant.com.

A global webinar gathered experts to share the latest research on developing banana cultivars resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Building on prior discussions, the event consolidated knowledge and highlighted recent progress in breeding, field trials, and advanced genetic tools. Organizers included Victor Prada, Matheus Lima, and Adriele Benedetto.

The webinar updated ongoing research, identified challenges for durable resistance, and emphasized genetic diversity's role in resilient production. It also underscored biotechnology's potential and the importance of multi-location trials. The event fostered knowledge exchange and strengthened global collaboration for effective TR4-tolerant cultivar deployment worldwide.
