Cree Elder A.J. Felix delivered a powerful "Wake Up" song and teachings at The Turtle Lodge on March 19, 2020, for the launch of "Wahbanung - The Resurgence of a People." His message called for spiritual awakening, urging listeners to address community challenges like children's suffering, disunity, and lack of sharing or prayer.

Elder Felix offered four vital teachings: pray sincerely, even with tears, as the spirit world listens; avoid buying luck or success, which can bring harm; and once grounded in prayer, remain humble, sharing blessings with those in need. This path leads to success and peace.

The Middle East poses increasing risks to global energy, fertilizer, and agrifood systems. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, are already elevating energy and agricultural input costs worldwide. These shocks quickly spread through food production, with potential shifts towards biofuel further increasing food price volatility. Import-dependent countries, especially in Africa and Asia, are particularly vulnerable.

To stabilize supply chains in the short term, measures include diversifying trade routes, strengthening market monitoring, supporting farmers, and providing targeted assistance to vulnerable nations. Diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain crucial for protecting global energy markets and food security.

JP Viñals joined Activists Coming To Inform Our Neighborhood (ACTION) in 2013 to address environmental and social issues in Hunts Point, South Bronx. The neighborhood, home to New York's largest food distribution center, endures 15,000 daily trucks, causing severe air pollution and some of the nation's highest asthma rates.

As ACTION's president, Viñals focused on transforming the defunct 1.25-mile Sheridan Expressway into a vibrant boulevard. This expressway restricts access to the Bronx River and green spaces, forcing heavy truck traffic onto local streets, harming residents and contributing to pollution. ACTION supports a broader campaign to replace it with housing, hospitals, and green areas, leading school presentations and community education efforts.

Greenland's vast ice sheet, covering 80% of the island and two miles thick, serves as the world's largest natural laboratory. By studying minerals and gases trapped in ice cores, glaciologists unravel ancient mysteries—like past temperatures or the disappearance of the Norse—and gain critical insights into the future of climate change.

Journalist Jon Gertner explores this topic in his book, "The Ice at the End of the World." Purchase it here: https://amzn.to/2RtLtwY

Northern Ireland is embarking on a cleaner energy future, utilizing abundant wind and solar resources. While engineers drive innovation, widespread public and community support is crucial. We need open dialogue to connect green energy projects with climate benefits, helping individuals make informed choices and embrace new infrastructure. This collective effort is vital to transform NI's power system for future generations.

Dr. David McGowan, a Senior Lead Engineer at SONI, is key to this transition. He led SONI’s Tomorrow’s Energy Scenarios, outlining decarbonization pathways for NI. Also a steering group member for ENTSOE, he contributes to long-term EU energy scenarios. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

The FAO's Rift Valley Fever Early Warning Decision Support Tool (RVF DST) is an innovative online platform. It strengthens early warning and response to Rift Valley fever (RVF), a persistent zoonotic disease in Africa. Built under the One Health framework, the RVF DST enhances real-time monitoring and multi-sectoral collaboration across animal, human, and environmental health.

By combining satellite data, climate trends, and field surveillance, the tool predicts RVF outbreaks up to three months ahead. This early insight allows farmers, veterinarians, and policymakers to take preventive action, protecting livestock, livelihoods, and lives. The RVF DST shifts countries from reactive response to proactive prevention, fostering resilient health systems and long-term One Health preparedness.

This video showcases the Norway-funded "Transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems" project. A vital partnership between FAO, the Norwegian Embassy, and Jordan's Ministry of Agriculture, it strengthens food security and aligns with the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The initiative reached over 1,700 beneficiaries, including rural women, youth, and refugees, empowering communities with investments and tools for lasting resilience against environmental and economic challenges.

The project reaffirms commitment to the "Four Betters" (Production, Nutrition, Environment, Life), urging continued transformation for Jordan's progress.

In southern Angola’s Banda Chibia, drought once forced residents like Rita to walk for water. This struggle has ended. Through a partnership between the Government of Angola, the European Union, and FAO, the Banda Chibia Dam now secures water for agriculture and livelihoods. With over 21 million cubic meters capacity, it irrigates 750 hectares, supporting thousands and enabling climate-smart agriculture and resilience.

Farmer Field Schools taught communities efficient water management and sustainable farming, resulting in green fields, year-round harvests, and improved incomes. Rita now harvests food, not searching for water. This project demonstrates how partnership and innovation transform vulnerability into hope.
