The wildfires in Los Angeles have caused massive devastation over the past two weeks and may end up being the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. That will likely increase insurance rates, not just in the United States, but also in Canada.Salman Farooqui writes for the Globe and Mail's Report on Business. He explains why American disasters could affect Canadians' insurance premiums, and how Canada's insurance industry is adapting to record levels of extreme weather damage.You can find the Impact Centre for Climate Adaptation's resources on reducing risks to your home from climate change events: https://www.intactcentreclimateadaptation.ca/Questions?

In een stad kun je als onderzoeker niet zomaar alles testen. Zelfs op een universiteitscampus kan het lang niet allemaal. Wetenschappers uit Delft hebben daar al een tijdje een mooie oplossing voor: ze doen hun experimenten eerst tussen de olifanten en zeeleeuwen.  Lindsey Schwidder van het TU Delft Innovation & Impact Centre vertelt in deze aflevering meer over de verschillende experimenten die hun studenten en onderzoekers uitvoeren in Diergaarde Blijdorp in Rotterdam.  In deze audio hoor je ook Leon Haimes van Reefy over een nieuw soort kunstmatig rif dat zowel dient als golfbreker als voor de bevordering van biodiversiteit. En Jelle Dercksen, hij doet onderzoek naar het opsporen en monitoren van dieren aan de hand van eDNA in het water. Meer over het onderzoek naar slimme wateropslag en waterzuivering hoor je in deze aflevering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosts: Sveta and Ben Banerjee. Topic: Investing in Tomorrow: The CC Forum Meets World Impact Centre Guest: Max Studennikoff  In this episode we delve into the pressing global concerns surrounding climate change as the world gears up for the COP 28, the United Nations climate change conference in the United Arab Emirates. Despite the backdrop of ongoing international conflicts, the episode sheds light on the Paris Agreement, emphasizing its significance as a legally binding treaty adopted in 2015 to combat climate change. We take a critical stance on the media and stakeholders silencing the urgency of climate change, revealing a study in the Netherlands indicating public awareness but hesitance to act if it affects personal finances. Amidst alarming statistics of over a million deaths attributed to climate change this year, the episode introduces the Climate Change Forum, featuring Max Studennikoff, Chairman and Founder. Studennikoff shares insights on the role of private wealth in sustainability, expressing a vision to make the CC Forum the leading investment platform for a sustainable future.

In keeping with the spirit of 1976 Soweto Uprising, Women in Science in partnership with the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and Impact Centre held a dialogue to commemorate the role the youth played in the events surrounding the historical day. The dialogue looked at developing activities and reflecting on the history, present realities and future of young people in the country. It focused on the unemployment crisis in the country particularly the youth who are most acutely affected. The idea was to conceptualise an innovative research approach to confront the challenges and prospects associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which has raised contentious debates about its role in job creation. Gloomy statistics The 2021 quarterly labour force survey showed that the unemployment rate increased substantially compared to the last quarter of 2020. Furthermore, in an expanded definition that includes job seekers, unemployment is at 43.2%. According to Statistics South Africa, the unemployment rate is the highest amongst people aged 15 to 34. Thus, youth unemployment under the expanded definition is 74.7%. South Africa is one of the countries with the highest inequalities, and the year-on-year rise in unemployment points to the need for rigorous engagement on policy, innovation and the industrialisation trajectory as touted in the country's pathways to economic recovery and job creation. The aforementioned interventions are conceptually targeted at creating employment for youth, stimulate the economic climate and reduce inequalities. Strategic plan Through knowledge co-creation, innovative solutions can be crafted in order to understand domestic challenges experienced by youth especially in marginalised communities. The strategic plan of the HSRC includes utilising the national, regional and global leadership in the production and use of targeted knowledge to support the eradication of poverty, the reduction of inequalities and the promotion of employment. Through this dialogue, the Partnerships Directorate in the Impact Centre anticipated that the debate will enrich ideas, and build up relations that can identify creative pockets in the public communities. The objectives of the dialogue were to engage on the following: • To understand the underlying challenges facing the youth in the current economic climate, especially considering the future of work; • To establish a mechanism to support skills planning, identify capacity gaps in preparation for the labour market; and • To ensure the youth is adequately prepared for a technology driven economy that requires young people to be proficient in science, technology and digital literacy.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is having a major impact on all aspects of life, both in South Africa and globally. The chief technological developments associated with the 4IR offer much promise for human development and improvements in quality of life. Yet, as this book explores, these technologies are a double-edged sword, bringing both benefits and drawbacks, particularly in relation to the realisation and enjoyment of fundamental human rights and freedoms. 

This book constitutes the first major investigation of the real and potential human rights implications of the 4IR in South Africa, following the work of the South African Human Rights Commission in this area. Addressing issues such as unemployment, poverty, development and local government in the 4IR; bias, discrimination and the digital divide; internet rights and responsibilities; privacy and cybersecurity; and predictive policing, surveillance and digital justice, this book offers an in-depth review of the current and emerging regulatory frameworks relating to human rights and 4IR-related technologiesin South Africa. With contributions from social scientists, ethicists and human rights experts, and a Foreword from the SAHRC CEO, Advocate Tseliso Thipanyane, this book will be of wide interest to policy-makers, academics and the public interested concerned with the future of South African constitutionalism.
