Global consensus is the enemy of market efficiency. The solution lies in interconnected market ecosystems that work, while others debate.Many business leaders assume that global alignment is necessary first, followed by implementation. But ASEAN is proving the opposite—regional market ecosystems can out-innovate global bureaucracy. Dr. Renard Siew, President of the Malaysia Carbon Market Association, breaks down the economics: Compliance-integrated exchange markets trade $200-300 billion annually, while voluntary efficiency trading platforms remain at $2 billion. The disparity reveals massive market inefficiencies—pure economic opportunity.Economic Reality (from ASEAN's emerging integrated industrial exchange ecosystem): → 70% of verification methodologies use VERRA standards, but a lack of mutual recognition fragments liquidity → Malaysian industrial efficiency projects can't access Indonesian buyers due to fragmented exchange systems → ASEAN's energy-intensive industries face international trade barriers without integrated industrial exchange mechanismsThe Innovation: Regional frameworks with mutual recognition create integrated exchange ecosystems while maintaining the integrity of verification. The ASEAN Common Framework demonstrates how interconnected market building drives economic efficiency.The Paradigm Shift: → Old thinking: Global standards → Implementation → Scale → New thinking: Regional cooperation → Market liquidity → Velocity → Scale → Global relevanceTrade Implications: As international trade barriers increasingly target industrial efficiency standards, regions with integrated industrial exchange ecosystems gain a competitive advantage. Connected market building beats regulatory isolation.Strategic Question: Ask yourself... "Which 3-5 key partners can we build mutual recognition with to create a liquid market for our efficiency improvements?"Most efficiency improvements aren't pursued because companies can't find verified buyers for the results. However, the right regional partners could help you resolve that issue overnight.Getting There: In your industry, where can regional cooperation create working markets while global standards remain stuck in committee? #EcosystemicFutures #IntegratedExchanges #MarketEcosystems #MarketEfficiency #RegionalOrchestration #TradeCompetitiveness #PerformanceMarketsGuest: Dr. Renard Siew, President, Malaysia Carbon Market Association | PhD Civil & Environmental EngineeringHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-founder, Annunziata Desai AdvisorsSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

As a young man, traveling in Africa, Tim Coulson - now Professor of Zoology at the University of Oxford - became seriously ill with malaria and was told a second bout would probably kill him. Aged only 20, this brush with his own mortality led him to promise himself he would write a complete guide to science: life, the universe and everything. His aim was to understand the existence of all living things - no mean feat!Over the course of a colourful career, Tim's work has taken him all over the world: including researching wolves in Yellowstone National Park, little fish called guppies in the rivers of Trinidad and silvereye birds on Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef. Using complicated mathematical models he builds up a picture of ecosystems seeking to explain how predators impact both evolution and ecosystems. And finally, more than thirty years after he vowed to write the book that would explain everything we know about science, he's done just that.In conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Tim talks about his journey from youthful ambition to science demystifier.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Geraldine Fitzgerald

Rerun: Regenerating our Ecosystems with Good Fire, with Dr. Melinda Adams

Wildfires and climate change: a brief overview North America is no stranger to wildfires. As of August 15, 2024, 29,917 fires this year have burned more than 5.2 million acres, according to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. While this year's number of wildfires is below the annual average of 35,691, the yearly acres burned is above the average of 3.8 million acres of the past 10 years.While wildfires are a naturally occurring phenomenon, their frequency is heavily influenced by climate change, especially on the west coast of the United States. Wildfire risk increases depending on a number of factors, including temperature, soil moisture, and the presence of trees, shrubs, and other fuel. Additionally, climate change dries out organic matter or “fuel” in forests, resulting in a doubling of the number of large fires between 1984 and 2015 in the western United States. As climate change creates warmer and drier weather conditions, wildfires will likely become more frequent; studies show that an average annual warming of one degree celsius would increase the median burned area per year by as much as 600 percent in some types of forests. Ultimately, as temperatures warm globally and drier conditions ravage the country, these fires will spread farther and become harder and harder to extinguish. “Good” fire: an ancestral solution to our wildfire problem  As the planet warms, many have turned to ancient methods to mitigate the effects of climate change. Notably, Dr. Adams borrows the concept of “good” fires from Native American cultural fires practices, where low intensity fires are lit to heal the surrounding ecosystem. In order to positively change the public's relationship with fire, fire agencies in California and Native American tribes have started using this term. Generally, “good” or cultural fires not only restore degraded soils and decrease vegetation or fuel overgrowth, but also deepen the spiritual ties people have to the land they inhabit. Specifically, good fire increases organic matter, keeps soil surfaces vegetated through the regrowth of plants, and encourages biodiversity. In California, many ecosystems rely on fire for its regenerative powers. Dr. Adams notes that fire connects to water, soil health, and the health of animals and surrounding areas. It can also mitigate invasive species growth and eliminate harmful pests that are killing a lot of trees, making them more susceptible to catching fire and starting larger forest fires. As a result, fire promotes many benefits for ecosystem health.Dr. Adams writes that as a member of the N'dee San Carlos Apache Tribe, she maintains a sacred attachment to the land, and believes that humans and the Earth are relatives. Subsequently, as siblings, humans and the land must help each other survive. Following these teachings around our relationship to more-than-human sibling and reciprocity, “good” fire participants can achieve “futurity” (intergenerational exchanges) that will safeguard future protection of the environment and human communities. Listening to these Native American Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) could lead the way to developing a more sustainable relationship to the planet and, in doing so, mitigate the effects of climate change.Mother Earth: how climate matriarchy can save the planet The concept of “good” fire stems from Indigenous Matriarchal Ecology. Many Native American tribes are matriarchal, such as the Cherokee and the Navajo. Applying traditionally “matriarchal” values such as care, tenderness, and love to environmental conservation could be an effective climate change solution. Inclusivity and the centering of Indigenous women's knowledge can also allow opportunities to enhance plant and soil health, remediation, and rematriation of the quality of our plant and soilscapes to provide a prosperous support structure that enables ecosystems to thrive.By practicing Indigenous Matriarchal Ecology, cultural fire participants can collectively start seeing the Earth as a Mother: one who gives life and receives it in return. This is why Dr. Adams and her colleagues focus on the role the soil can play in the fight against climate change through the practice of Matriarchal Ecology. Dr. Adams writes that applying a soil health approach to ecology in tandem with cultural fires can play an important role in climate mitigation by storing carbon and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. By restoring degraded soils and adopting soil conservation practices, such as cultural fire and Indigenous Matriarchal Ecologies, “good” fire practitioners can enhance the Earth's carbon sequestration capacity and build resilience to climate change. Furthermore, these soil improvements on formerly mined and degraded lands could make soilscapes more resilient to erosion and desertification, while maintaining vital ecosystem services. And hopefully, these practitioners can inspire others, non-Native and Native alike, to develop a better understanding of and relationships with the planet.Indigenous Matriarchal Ecologies can highlight the positive effects of cultural fire on environmentally degraded soils, while simultaneously building native plant and soil resilience toward climate and cultural futurity that all communities can enjoy.Who is our guest?Dr. Melinda Adams is a member of the N'dee San Carlos Apache Tribe and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Atmospheric Science at the University of Kansas. A cultural fire practitioner and scholar, her research focuses on the revitalization of cultural fire with Tribes in California and more recently with Tribes in the Midwest.

South East Technological University (SETU) has been awarded funding as part of a prestigious European consortium delivering the BECEE project - Balanced and Enhanced Collaboration for an Entrepreneurship Ecosystem - a transformative initiative aimed at fostering entrepreneurial talent and strengthening innovation capacity across Europe. Led by Rachel O'Dowd, Prof. Helen Hughes, and Dr Ultan McCarthy from SETU's Department of Land Sciences, with Dr James O'Sullivan, Head of Innovation and Commercialisation at SETU, the project is delivered in close collaboration with Professor Bill O'Gorman of Dungarvan Enterprise Centre. BECEE is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), with cross-funding and endorsement from EIT Digital, EIT Climate, EIT Food, and EIT Health. The €1.34 million project brings together four forward-looking higher education institutions - Hanze University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands), Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland), South East Technological University (Ireland), and Universiteti "Aleksandër Moisiu" Durrës (Albania) - working in tandem with four innovation-driven enterprises: KPN (Eindhoven, Netherlands), Innofuse (Zurich, Switzerland), Dungarvan Enterprise Centre (Ireland), and Linda Laboratory (Durrës, Albania). Speaking about SETU's role, Professor Helen Hughes said, "We are hugely excited by the opportunity to be part of this excellent European consortium furthering innovative solutions, strengthening and supporting our entrepreneurial talent in the region in conjunction with our industrial partner Dungarvan Enterprise Centre. It further strengthens the focus and expertise available within the Department of Land Sciences for entrepreneurship that has been developing across the last decade." The BECEE project will have a tangible impact on regional and national entrepreneurship by developing practical, scalable models to support innovators, start-ups and SMEs. Activities will include training, mentorship, policy development, and new pathways for academic-industry engagement - all contributing to SETU's strategic ambition of connecting for impact. Dr James O'Sullivan noted, "This initiative reflects SETU's deepening commitment to delivering innovation and knowledge exchange across our region, working hand in hand with our enterprise partners to create a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem." The project is already underway and will roll out activities over the next two years across the partner regions. It aligns strongly with SETU's focus on collaboration, regional development, and addressing key societal challenges through innovation.

For all of human history, the oceans and the life within them have remained a stable and fundamental part of Earth as we know it. Yet, for the past few decades, fisheries and scientists alike have observed massive migrations in marine ecosystems unlike anything we've ever witnessed. What is driving these unprecedented movements, and how are they rippling out to affect every aspect of life In this conversation, Nate is joined by marine ecologist Malin Pinsky, whose decades of research shed light on the dramatic migrations of marine species due to rising ocean temperatures. Malin breaks down the science behind these changes – from declining oxygen levels pushing fish toward the poles, to the cascading impacts on intricate marine food webs, as well as the growing threat of localized extinctions among key fishery species. How has a cultural disconnect from the importance of biodiversity and the interdependence of life led to such a drastic impact on the function of our oceans? What do these changes mean for humanity, including impacts on global food security and geopolitical stability? Finally, could reconnecting with the ocean's abundant, diverse ecosystems help us reduce our impact on these deep, blue pillars of life?  (Conversation recorded on April 22nd, 2025)  More TGS Ocean Episodes   About Malin Pinsky: Malin Pinsky is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz with expertise in the adaptation of ocean life to climate change and applications to ocean conservation and fisheries. His more than 120 publications have appeared in Science, Nature, and other journals.  He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, an Earth Leadership Fellow, and an Early Career Fellow of the Ecological Society of America.

The $13 trillion construction industry is experiencing its first systemic transformation in decades.In this groundbreaking episode, we examine how advanced technologies are dismantling the silos that have trapped the $13 trillion construction industry in decades of declining productivity. Francesco "Frio" Iorio, CEO of Augmenta and pioneer of generative design, reveals how construction is transforming from a fragmented collection of isolated specialists into an integrated ecosystem of collaborative intelligence.From creating the world's first AI-designed public school in rural Michigan to developing "surrogate master builder" systems that seamlessly coordinate complex building trades, Iorio demonstrates how ecosystemic thinking is finally breaking through the barriers that prevented construction from achieving the efficiency gains seen in manufacturing. This conversation illuminates how AI serves as the connective tissue, transforming siloed expertise into a unified system intelligence that can adapt to supply chain disruptions while enabling both rapid response and long-term strategic planning. HighlightsThe Productivity Paradox Solved: Construction is the only primary industry with declining productivity over the past 50 years; however, AI systems now achieve twice the speed of human designers while reducing waste and improving precision, finally breaking through the efficiency barrier that has challenged the $13 trillion industry.From Fragmented Silos to Integrated Intelligence: Modern construction has fragmented the holistic knowledge of medieval master builders, who were once united across isolated specialists, creating coordination nightmares. AI now serves as a "surrogate master builder companion," reuniting written codes, unwritten tribal knowledge, and real-time constraints into unified ecosystem intelligence that guides seamless collaboration.Beyond the Snowflake Problem: Unlike manufacturing's repeatable processes, every building is unique—the fundamental challenge preventing construction optimization. AI embraces this complexity head-on, enabling mass customization while maintaining the efficiency benefits of systematic design approaches.Global-Scale Impact Through Democratization: The first AI-designed building was a public school in rural Michigan, not a luxury project, signaling how these tools can democratize advanced sustainable design for the 4+ billion people entering urban areas globally, potentially preventing catastrophic "rush urbanization" scenarios.Supply Chain Resilience Revolution: AI-compressed design timelines enable early strategic planning and last-minute adaptation to economic shocks, transforming construction from a rigid sequence into a responsive ecosystem capable of thriving amid uncertainty and tariff-driven supply disruptions.#EcosystemicFutures #ConstructionAI #GenerativeDesign #SustainableBuilding #UrbanFutures #AITransformation #SupplyChainResilience #ProductivityRevolution #SystemicInnovationGuest: Francesco "Frio" Iorio, Co-Founder and CEO of AugmentaHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata Desai PartnersSeries Hosts:Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

Episode 114: In this conversation, Kate Kavanaugh sits down with author Chris Berdik to discuss his new book 'Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World and How We Can Take It Back'. They dive into the often-overlooked significance of sound in both our personal lives and the natural world. Chris shares insights into the biology of hearing, the impacts of hearing loss, and the pervasive issue of noise pollution—both for humans and wildlife. At its heart, it's about how sound connects us to the world at large and to one another. The discussion explores the evolutionary importance of sound, how our auditory experiences shape our connection to the environment, and the broader implications of noise on our well-being (and the importance of preventing hearing loss). They also touch on how sound can shift environments: from hospitals to neighborhoods. Ultimately, this conversation highlights the critical relationship between sound, human and environmental health, and community engagement in shaping healthier soundscapes.X: @chrisberdikWebsiteNewsletter Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World - and How We Can Take It BackResources Mentioned:Soundprint AppRelated Episodes: Episode 90: Sh*t, Shipping, and Blood: Upending Taboos and Exploring the Ignored with Rose GeorgeEpisode 72: Circular Economies and Linear Infrastructure: the Complex Interplay of Roads, Beavers, and Ecosystems with Ben GoldfarbEpisode 83: A Planetary Pulse of Connection: Exploring the Ocean, Science, and Beyond with Helen Czerski Episode 58: Exploring the Mystery + Embracing the Unknown with Fred ProvenzaSupport Kate: PatreonSubstackPayPal-Leave a One Time TipSponsored By:REDMOND REAL SALT: Use code MINDBODYSOIL_15 for 15% off at Redmond.lifeAffiliates:FIELD COMPANY CAST IRON: fieldcompany.com/kate_kavanaughBAHÉ FOOTWEAR: Use the code ‘Kate10' for 10% off.

Episode 113: In this episode, Kate sits down with author Marguerite Holloway to explore her new book ‘Take to the Trees: A Story of Hope, Science, and Self-Discovery in America's Imperiled Forests'. Marguerite takes us on a deeply personal journey as she learns to climb trees at a women's tree climbing workshop—an experience that shifts her perspective—quite literally—and opens her up to new ways of seeing the world. From Aspens to Magnolias, and Hemlocks to Beeches, she brings us into the hidden lives of trees, tracing their biology, history, and the complex relationships they share with our ecosystems.As we dive into the perils trees face in a warming climate, we also talk about the from arborists, biologists, and ecologists who are working tirelessly to protect them. This conversation brings into focus the often-overlooked world of trees, challenging ‘plant blindness' and shifting them from the periphery to the center of our attention. At its heart, the conversation is about reconciling the hard truths of ecological loss with the enduring hope that comes from connecting with nature in such a direct and transformative way. This episode is as much about trees as it is about seeing the world through a new lens—one that invites us to reimagine our relationship with the living world around us.Find Marguerite: Take to the Trees: A Story of Hope, Science, and Self-Discovery in America's Imperiled ForestsX: @marg_hollowayLinkedInNew Yorker ArticlesWomens Tree Climbing Workshop Episodes Like It:Episode 93: The Wood Age: Humans and the Forests That Made Them Human with John PerlinEpisode 87: Complexity, Cooperation, and Beauty - A New Story for Earth with Ferris JabrEpisode 72: Circular Economies and Linear Infrastructure: The Complex Interplay of Roads, Beavers, and Ecosystems with Ben GoldfarbEpisode 66: We are the Drivers of Our Species Tomorrows with Cat BohannonEpisode 95: Basins of Relations: Water, Fire, Beavers, and beyond with Brock DolmanEpisode 99: Living Into the Life You Want with Caroline NelsonSupport Kate: PatreonSubstackPayPal-Leave a One Time TipSponsored By:

How can we transform fragmented urban transportation networks into resilient, adaptive ecosystems that drive economic value while addressing complex societal challenges? In this episode of Ecosystemic Futures, host Marco Annunziata engages with Robin Hutcheson, whose multifaceted expertise spans the complex urban transportation ecosystem. The conversation explores how cities generate more than 80% of global GDP despite occupying limited physical space, and function as dynamic testbeds for next-generation mobility systems. Drawing from her leadership roles at USDOT, FMCSA, and city transportation departments, Robin shares data-driven insights about the 43,000 annual highway fatalities in America and the disproportionate impact on pedestrians. HighlightsMarket Transformation: Cities generate 80% of global GDP while housing 56% of the world's population, creating an unprecedented market opportunity for integrated mobility solutions as urbanization accelerates to 70% by 2050.System Failure Metrics: The 43,000 annual American highway fatalities represent a systemic market inefficiency with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations, signaling urgent demand for transformative intervention and cross-sector collaboration.Funding Catalysts: The $5 billion Safe Streets for All program demonstrates how policy innovations can create new market structures connecting federal capital, local implementation, and private sector solutions—a replicable framework for other ecosystem transformations.Digital Twin Integration: Curb space digitization represents a breakthrough application of digital twin technology, creating a networked intelligence layer that optimizes multi-modal system performance across freight logistics, emissions reduction, and public space allocation.Strategic Intervention Points: Urban arterials function as critical nodes where targeted technological and infrastructure interventions can simultaneously cascade improvements across safety, climate, and equity metrics, offering maximum return on transformation investment. The discussion reveals how orchestrating urban mobility requires coordinated physical and digital interventions that break traditional sector boundaries. Robin demonstrates how systems-based orchestration can transform our fragmented approach to urban mobility into adaptive, resilient networks that simultaneously unlock economic value, reduce negative externalities, and create more equitable outcomes—a model applicable to multiple complex system transformations beyond transportation. #EcosystemOrchestration #DigitalTwinInfrastructure #SystemsTransformation #TransportationFinance #ComplexAdaptiveNetworks #UrbanMobilityValue #CrossSectorCollaboration #NextGenCityDesign #DataDrivenUrbanization #ConvexInnovationGuest: Robin Hutcheson, Hutcheson Advisory, LLCHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata Desai Partners Series Hosts:Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin Works Ecosystemic Futures is provided by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

Most of the natural world has been altered by humans in some way. Ecosystems that are dominated by humans or man-made structures, such as cities, can still provide meaningful and essential habitat for insects. Today, we are going to discuss research being done in various human-dominated landscapes to answer the question: how do we restore and conserve insects in these ecosystems?We are joined by Dr. Chelse Prather, Associate Professor and Environmental Biology Coordinator at the University of Dayton. As an ecologist, Chelse has worked with insect communities in forests, grasslands, and urban ecosystems. She has managed a variety of projects from understanding basic insect ecology, like what nutrients limit insect communities, to very applied projects, such as how the installation of solar arrays affects insect communities.---Photo by Matthew ShepherdThank you for listening!

Joe shares eye-opening insights about how broken digital systems, disjointed communication, and reactive forecasting are holding brands back — and how a silent shift is already underway, driven by AI ecosystems that will be able to synthesize signals across departments, partners, and platforms. Listeners will learn: What “silent shifts” are and why they're disrupting logistics, retail, and even marketing How fast fashion brands are leveraging data and air freight to outmaneuver traditional retail Why trust, permissioned data, and human-led decisions must remain central in AI transformation How connected conversations and signal-streaming can modernize forecasting Why marketers must move from isolated decision-making to full ecosystem awareness From fast fashion to freight logistics, and from generative content to permission-based AI architecture, Joe challenges listeners to reimagine how strategy, marketing, and technology converge to better serve the customer — and how marketers must play a key role in driving cross-functional change. https://joehudicka.com/
