Today, we have a great episode with Andrew Chan from Atas Ventures.Surprise surprise…we're continuing the conversation about the climate tech vibe shift, climate tech 3.0, climate risk…whatever you want to call it. However, our conversation with Andrew Chan of Atas Ventures is a little bit different. Andrew has, from the very beginning, thought about climate investing from first principles, placing profitability and tangible impact at the core of his strategy. He refers to this next wave as "Climate 3.0," an evolution beyond traditional impact investing towards applied technologies like robotics, IoT, and advanced energy solutions.Our conversation today focuses on these themes, including how venture capital can meaningfully intersect with antiquated industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing to drive both profits and genuine environmental outcomes. Andrew also shares why the venture capital playbook may need to evolve, emphasizing smarter portfolio construction, disciplined investing, and leveraging real-world experience to build lasting companies.Overall, it's an amazing episode and we're really excited to share this with you.Sidenote, we recorded this remotely while Andrew was traveling—he joined us from Bangor, Maine.

The five remaining members of the Australian“Bali Nine” drug ring have returned home after 19 years in jail in Indonesia, the Australian Government said Sunday. Indonesian police arrested the nine Australians in 2005, convicting them of attempting to smuggle more than 8kg of heroin off the holiday island of Bali. In a case that drew global attention to Indonesia's unforgiving drug laws, two of the gang would eventually be executed by firing squad, while others served hefty prison sentences. “The Australian Government can confirm that Australian citizens, Matthew Norman, Scott Rush, Martin Stephens, Si Yi Chen, and Michael Czugaj have returned to Australia,” Canberra said in a statement. “The men will have the opportunity to continue their personal rehabilitation and reintegration in Australia.” Accused ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed by firing squad in 2015 despite repeated pleas from the Australian Government. Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen died of cancer in 2018, months before Renae Lawrence was released after her sentence was commuted. Australia's Government expressed “deep appreciation” for the Indonesian Government's co-operation to let the remaining men return on humanitarian grounds. It did not give further details on the agreement, including whether they would need to continue to serve their sentences following their return home. Heroin-lined suitcase The Government said it had consistently advocated for the men and provided consular support to them and their families during their incarceration. It asked the media to respect their privacy. Muslim-majority Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws, including the death penalty for traffickers. It is not uncommon for foreigners to be arrested for drug offences in Bali, which attracts millions of visitors to its palm-fringed beaches every year. The release of the Australians follows weeks of speculation that a deal for their return was in the works. In November, a senior Indonesian minister said Jakarta aimed to return prisoners from Australia, France and the Philippines by the end of this year. Earlier this month, Indonesia signed an agreement with the Philippines for the return of mother-of-two Mary Jane Veloso, who was arrested in 2010 after the suitcase she was carrying was found to be lined with 2.6kg of heroin. Her supporters claim she was duped by an international drug syndicate, and in 2015, she narrowly escaped execution after her suspected recruiter was arrested. - Agence France-Presse LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Autoimmunerkrankung Multiple Sklerose nimmt zu. 18'000 Menschen sind hierzulande betroffen, 73 Prozent davon sind Frauen. Bei der letzten Erhebung waren es noch 15'000 MS-Betroffene. Der markante Anstieg in nur wenigen Jahren ist rätselhaft. Die gute Nachricht: MS kann man heute gut behandeln. * MS ist ein Einschnitt ins Leben. Doch die Diagnose bedeutet nicht mehr schicksalshaft ein Leben mit Einschränkungen wie früher. * Die Prävalenz von MS steigt, vor allem in Ländern mit städtischem Lebensstil. * Fachleute verdächtigen Umweltfaktoren – kausale Zusammenhänge sind jedoch kaum bewiesen. * Eine genetische Veranlagung löst nicht automatisch die Krankheit aus. * Früher gab es für Betroffene kaum Therapien – heute werden jedes Jahr ein bis zwei neue Medikamente zugelassen. * An den MS-Zentren der Universitäten wird intensiv geforscht, um MS noch besser zu verstehen und die Behandlung weiter zu optimieren. Im Podcast zu hören sind: * Nina Henz, 24 Jahre alt, kaufmännische Angestellte, MS-Betroffene. * Viktor von Wyl, Epidemiologe, wissenschaftlicher Leiter schweizerisches MS-Register * Onur Boyman, Immunologe, Universität Zürich * Andrew Chan, Neurologe, Inselspital * diverse Personen auf dem Insel-Campus Bei Fragen, Anregungen oder Themenvorschlägen schreibt uns: kontext@srf.ch Mehr zum Kontext Podcast: https://srf.ch/audio/kontext

The idea of “adulting” and independence is often on the minds of youths, past and present. However, while young people used to wait until they marry before applying for a flat, more young Singaporeans are moving out of their parents' homes and renting a place on their own as a rite of passage to adulthood, a topic explored in the fourth episode of "IPS On Diversity" Season 4. In conjunction with IPS' annual flagship conference, Singapore Perspectives 2024, themed around the topic of youths, host Liang Kaixin, Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies, engages with Dr Chew Han Ei, IPS adjunct senior research fellow, and Klinsen Soh, a 32-year-old working adult who has chosen to move out before getting married. The episode delves into the motivations and implications of this trend, revealing insights into the challenges and experiences of young adults navigating their journey towards independence. In this episode, Dr Chew Han Ei discusses findings from the Youth STEPS study, highlighting factors such as the desire for personal space, the impact of the pandemic on work-from-home dynamics, and financial considerations. Klinsen, on the other hand, shares his personal journey, emphasising the importance of creating one's own living space for personal growth and independence.

In Singapore, the concept of work-life balance is evolving amidst the prevalent hustle culture. Are young Singaporeans leaning towards a more relaxed approach to work, or is the drive to maximise productivity still dominant? In conjunction with IPS' annual flagship conference, Singapore Perspectives 2024, which centres on topics surrounding youths, the third episode of "IPS On Diversity" Season 4 will dive into the themes of hustle culture and quiet quitting. Host Liang Kaixin engages with Laurel Teo, IPS Senior Research Fellow, and He Ruiming, co-founder and main writer of The Woke Salaryman, to dissect the dynamics between the two social trends. They explore the changing work attitudes among Singaporean youth, with a focus on phenomena like “lying flat” and the embrace of “lazy girl jobs”, contrasting these with the still-pervasive hustle culture. The discussion delves into how these attitudes impact professional choices, the pursuit of financial independence, and personal well-being.

*Trigger Warning: This episode of the podcast touches on topics involving suicide and bullying* In Singapore, the social stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS remains a significant challenge, lagging behind the rapid advancements in medical science. This persistent stigma, rooted in fear and prejudice, hampers efforts towards a more inclusive and informed society. In the second episode of the fourth season of IPS' On Diversity Podcast, our host Liang Kaixin, Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies and a former journalist, delves into this critical issue with Dr Rayner Tan, Assistant Professor at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, and Terry Lim, Associate Director of Outreach Education and Testing at Action for AIDS. Their discussion revolves around the enduring misconceptions about HIV, the vital role of campaigns and sexual health education in dispelling these myths, and strategies like HIV self-testing kits to encourage early detection, especially for high-risk groups.

In Singapore, the silent struggle of single mothers facing poverty often goes unnoticed. In a society known for its affluence, these women confront unique challenges that are deeply intertwined with societal norms and government policies. In the opening episode of the fourth season, host Liang Kaixin, Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies and a former journalist, engages in an in-depth discussion with two key figures in the field: Carrie Tan, Member of Parliament (MP) at Nee Soon GRC and founder of Daughters of Tomorrow, and Elizabeth Quek, Programme Manager at AWARE who managed the Support Housing and Enable (S.H.E.) project. They delved into the multifaceted issues faced by single mothers in Singapore, especially those who are unwed and divorced, and explore the complex intersection of poverty, single motherhood, and societal stigma. This episode sheds light on the economic hardships, support systems, housing challenges, and the impact of societal perceptions on these women. It also explores recent policy shifts aimed at providing better support to unwed mothers.

Her journey in politics is a natural progression of her commitment to community service, emphasising the representation of marginalised voices and advocating for inclusive policymaking. DOT's approach complements existing workforce-related agencies, connecting volunteers and community resources to each woman individually. By understanding their day-to-day constraints, the organisation provides tailored coaching and assistance, helping women achieve regular and sustained employment. In her political role, Carrie Tan continues this ethos, advocating for the representation of marginalised voices and inclusive policy-making. Her work spans critical areas including women's empowerment, mental health, and community care. Carrie has proposed initiatives like "Carefare" to support low-income full-time caregivers and tirelessly advocates for better mental health support in education and healthcare. In her constituency of Nee Soon South, she has established programmes like the Mental Well-being Committee and a Diaper Support Programme for the elderly, alongside an online show highlighting children's perspectives, all reflective of her dedication to mindful parenting and enhancing community well-being. Elizabeth Quek, Program Manager, AWARE Elizabeth Quek has had experience in the social service sector for over 15 years, with a focus on supporting single parents. As a Programme Manager at AWARE, she played a pivotal role in the S.H.E Project (Support, Housing and Enablement), a research-based service offering stable housing and transformational support for low-income families led by single mothers. This initiative, with its pilot program running from 2018 to 2021, aimed to provide these families with a chance to stabilise their lives and transition out of poverty. The S.H.E Project, addressing findings from AWARE's 2016 study on single parents' access to public housing, provided long-term housing stability, unlike typical transitional housing programmes. From July 2019 to April 2020, Elizabeth also managed the Community Childminding Network, part of Daughters of Tomorrow, focusing on building community support among mothers. This initiative created a "kampong of trust" to address childminding needs, allowing more women to work and support their families.

Why Mariah Carey Matters (University of Texas Press, 2023) examines the creative and complicated evolution of the musical artist. In the 1990s, Carey perfected blending pop, hip-hop, and R&B and drew from her turbulent personal life to create introspective, sonically sound masterpieces like “Vision of Love,” “Make it Happen,” and “Butterfly.” There is no doubt about Carey's star power, as she has sold over 220 million albums globally and has the most Billboard chart-topping singles of any solo artist. Although a pioneering songwriter and producer, Carey's musicianship and influence are still insufficiently appreciated. Andrew Chan looks beyond Carey's glamorous persona to explore her experience as a biracial Black woman in the music business, her adventurous forays into house music and gospel, and her appeal to multiple generations of queer audiences. He also reckons with the transcendent ideal of the voice that Carey represents, showing how this international icon taught artists worldwide to sing with soul-shaking intensity and a spirit of innovation. Andrew Chan writes regularly about music, film, and books. His work has been published by the Criterion Collection, Film Comment, NPR, the New Yorker, and Reverse Shot. Latoya Johnson is an editor, writer, and bibliophile with a master's in Humanities. Her research and writing interests include popular culture, the public history of women's fiction, and women in Greco-Roman mythology. Learn more about your ad choices.

When it comes to Mariah Carey, star power is never in doubt. She has sold hundreds of millions of albums and cut more chart-topping hits than any other solo artist—ever. And she has that extraordinary five-octave vocal range. But there is more to her legacy than eye-popping numbers.Why Mariah Carey Matters examines the creative evolution and complicated biography of a true diva, making the case that, despite her celebrity, Carey's musicianship and influence are insufficiently appreciated. A pioneering songwriter and producer, Carey pairs her vocal gifts with intimate lyrics and richly layered sonic details. In the mid-1990s, she perfected a blend of pop, hip-hop, and R&B with songs such as “Fantasy” and “Honey” and drew from her turbulent life to create the introspective masterpiece Butterfly.Andrew Chan looks beyond Carey's glamorous persona to explore her experience as a mixed-race woman in show business, her adventurous forays into house music and gospel, and her appeal to multiple generations of queer audiences. He also reckons with the transcendent ideal of the voice that Carey represents, showing how this international icon taught artists around the world to sing with soul-shaking intensity and a spirit of innovation Andrew Chan writes regularly about music, film, and books for 4Columns.

Companies that borrowed from private markets are struggling to pay as interest rates surge, according to Bloomberg News' Kat Hidalgo. There's more distress to come amid record levels of fundraising and ever-increasing deal sizes, Hidalgo says. In this episode of the Credit Edge Podcast, Bloomberg News senior editor James Crombie also asks Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Andrew Chan about the brewing debt crisis in China.
