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.

Many companies face accusations of greenwashing and public distrust due to revised CO₂ goals or a lack of goal-setting. Dr. Jilde Garst addresses why firms fail to achieve environmental and social targets, exploring how to set ambitious, measurable, and adaptable goals.

An Assistant Professor at Wageningen University & Research, Dr. Garst's research focuses on organizational values and standards for corporate behavior. Her work on "values-sensitive absorptive capacity" and "double materiality" has been published in prestigious journals like *California Management Review*, with one article nominated for a 2023 best paper award.
