We know there are chemicals in some of the things we buy that aren't the best for our health, but we maybe didn't consider that they might be in nearly everything. New research from the University of Adelaide's JBI and the Minderoo Foundation has found harmful chemicals in plastic can increase our risks of developing a list of health conditions and the problem is, we don't know which plastics contain them and in what quantities. So how do we stop ourselves from absorbing plastic chemicals when they're in so many of the things we use every day?

In the latest podcast episode, we had the opportunity of interviewing Marcus and Manuel from the Minderoo Foundation.Throughout the episode, they highlighted the significance of international collaboration in tackling global challenges like plastic pollution mentioning that while regulation is crucial, businesses must also take proactive steps towards sustainability. Additionally, another recurring topic of the conversation was the importance of transparency in addressing sustainability issues, particularly in understanding product composition and waste management.Overall, the conversation conveyed a sense of urgency, acknowledging the severity of environmental challenges, but with a positive outlook towards the future, both Marcus and Manuel trust in the growing interest in sustainability, particularly among younger generations. With this in mind, they leave our young audience a message: your passion and skills can make a real difference.

After a twelve-month set of climate records driven by global warming it is time to take stock of how we're impacting the planet as a species. Coral biologist Kate Quigley, of the Minderoo Foundation and James Cook University, dives into the 8th mass bleaching event at the Great Barrier Reef. We explore how deadly heat stress continues to threaten this underwater paradise and induce mass sickness in the corals that call it home. Heading onto land we reunite with Mike Flannigan, Professor of Fire Science at Thompson Rivers University, after a record-breaking Canadian forest fire season in 2023 we ask if conditions are set for a repeat. And what about the human cost of these climbing temperatures? In the future 800 million outdoor workers in the tropics may be exposed to intolerable heat stress. However, Yuta Masuda, director of science at the Paul G Allen Family Foundation, advises that options for individual action may be limited for workers to protect themselves. One of the driving forces behind a record year of global warming is the now waning El Niño system. With its counterpart, La Niña, due to pick up in 2024, we ask NOAA oceanographer Mike McPhaden what to expect from this transition and if we are headed for a turbulent hurricane season.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Thomas Kuehn, Co-Founder und Managing Director von FarmInsect, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Finanzierungsrunde unter der Führung von Sandwater.FarmInsect bietet Landwirtschaftsbetrieben die Möglichkeit, regionale organische Reststoffe für die Erzeugung von Insektenlarven zu nutzen. Die Insektenlarven können dann anstelle von importiertem Soja- oder Fischmehl als Eiweißfutter an die Nutztiere verfüttert werden. Der Einsatz von Insektenprotein ist bereits in der Geflügel-, Schweine- und Heimtierfütterung zugelassen. Konkret bietet das Startup ein Maschinen- und IoT-System, das die automatisierte Produktion von Insekten sowie eine kontinuierliche Versorgung mit jungen Larven für die Mast ermöglicht. Die dadurch geschaffene Kreislaufwirtschaft führt nach eigenen Angaben dazu, dass die Kosten bis zu 30 % gesenkt, die Tiergesundheit verbessert und über 50 % der CO2-Emissionen eingespart werden können. Die Kunden von FarmInsect können ihre Futtermittelkosten senken, organische Abfälle in einem Stoffkreislauf besser verwerten und zusätzliche Einnahmequellen generieren. Besonders für Betriebe, die Biogasanlagen betreiben, kann die Insektenmast sinnvoll sein. So kann ein Energiekreislauf entstehen, der bei der Mast durch die Reststoffe aus Kot und Futterresten beginnt. Diese Reststoffe haben ein ähnliches Biogaspotential wie herkömmliche Maissilage. Die Abwärme der Anlage kommt dann wiederum in der Insektenmast zum Einsatz. Das Unternehmen wurde im Jahr 2020 von Thomas Kuehn und Wolfgang Westermeier in Bergkirchen gegründet.Nun hat das AgriTech eine Finanzierungsrunde unter der Führung von Sandwater erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Zu den weiteren Kapitalgebern zählen Bayern Kapital, die australische Minderoo Foundation, der EIC Fund sowie die bisherigen Investoren HTGF und UnternehmerTUM Funding for Innovators. Das frische Kapital soll für die kommerzielle Skalierung und Weiterentwicklung der Insektenzuchtlösungen eingesetzt werden.

Plastic's risks to the environment and human health far outweigh the benefits.  Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Bans on single-use plastics are essential, experts say. Nations are also negotiating a global plastic pollution treaty to try to bring the crisis under control. But more is needed.  In this episode, ST's climate editor David Fogarty hosts Dr Sarah Dunlop, who leads the Plastics & Human Health Research Program at the Minderoo Foundation in Australia. She is also Emeritus Professor, University of Western Australia. She tells Green Pulse that plastics are an incredible success story and are used to make many things from bottles to carpets to Dreamliner aircraft. And such is the demand for plastics that production has soared in recent decades to more than 450 million tonnes a year and it could reach more than 1 billion tonnes by mid-century.  Yet the majority of plastics ever made still exist – discarded in landfills, or dumped in the environment. And only about 10 percent of plastics are currently recycled.  Add to this the threat from more than 10,000 chemicals added to plastics to make them flexible, flame retardant, different colours and other characteristics. These chemicals leak out into the environment and get inside the human body. Chemicals associated with plastics have been linked to cancers, miscarriages, hormonal changes, obesity and other serious health impacts that cost billions of dollars a year.  Highlights (click/tap above): 1:34 How great is the threat from plastics? 6:58 Singapore recycles 6 per cent of plastics but otherwise produces 1 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, most of which is incinerated; why is recycling plastics a real challenge? 13:10 What is the Minderoo Foundation, and what challenges it tackles 15:50 What are some of the risks from the thousands of toxic chemicals added to plastics? 22:00 Is it possible to urgently design plastics that are less toxic?

Shocking ocean plastic statistics in the headlines, plastic bottles floating in rivers, shopping bags in the street – we've all witnessed plastic pollution in one form or another. But while plastic pollution is a global problem, plastic itself is a useful and effective material. So how bad are plastics for the environment and how can we reduce their impact? Find out in this month's sustainability podcast.

Welcoming Laurence Marshbaum OAM back to Purposely to share his incredible founder stories. Investment management is all about picking the right stocks to maximise returns, right?! Maybe considering an investors tolerance for risk and diversifying the investments across asset classes and markets. That is also true for experienced Sydney based portfolio manager Laurence Marshbaum and Barrenjoey Capital Partners and their firm Community Capital. Well, it is only half true and alongside financial returns for investors they are fully focused on delivering social impact and providing vital funds for good causes. Established in December 2022, Community Capital invests in private markets at a discounted price and then donates the generated funds to good causes. Causes and social purpose organisations selected by an experienced advisory board with individuals who are close to community issues and philanthropy. Laurence was inspired to act during the pandemic and was looking at ways he could use his knowledge, skills, and experience of the investment profession to do good and deliver funding to the community. So far, they have raised $383M USD/ $550M AUD for the fund and on their way to delivering returns for investors as well as social impact through an unlisted credit fund. Backers for the fund include Australian Retirement Trust, Laurence's former employer, Minderoo Foundation, Legalsuper and MLC Insignia. This is second for purpose organisation founded by Laurence and in June 2022 Laurence received a Medal of the Order of Australia from Lord Governor General David Hurley for his services to the charity sector through his social enterprise 10 X 10 Philanthropy. 10 X 10 operates in 14 cities in 7 countries and has raised over $5 million for early stage and grassroots not-for-profits. Established in 2013, Laurence and two other passionate social entrepreneurs shared a vision that everyone can make a difference by getting involved in philanthropy. Together, Laurence Marshbaum, Nina Skryzynski and Jenny Newmarch saw that professionals like themselves wanted to lead purpose driven lives and give back to their local communities, but lacked the time, knowledge, and framework to make a difference. On the flipside, grassroots for purpose organisations (not for profits) struggle to find financial support and volunteers to sustain their work. Laurence, Nina, and Jenny brought 10 friends to an organised event, with each friend inviting 10 of their friends, thus bringing together 100 people into the room with 3 social purpose organisations in attendance. That night they raised $11,000 for the non-profits, and the concept of 10×10 was born. 10×10 grew organically from Sydney to each Australian capital city as the news of this interesting model of philanthropy travelled. It wasn't long before major cities in the UK, USA, Hong Kong, Canada and New Zealand were established and in mid-2021, Laurence, Nina and Jenny reunited to celebrate the milestone 100th 10×10.

Hi and welcome, this is Cory… Question… what has the possibility of being able to last longer than us? Maybe that's why those seeking ridiculously extreme beauty seem so… plastic. Yes, plastic will most likely outlive us all. While some plastics are made to recycle, according to Forge Waste and Recycling in Leeds in the UK, it can take between 20 and 500 years for plastic to decompose, but this is dependent on things like what the plastic is made of and exposure to sunlight. A study by the Minderoo Foundation which is philanthropically funded by Australian mining billionaire Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest and his wife, Nicola… found more than 130 million metric tonnes of plastic waste worldwide as of 2021. A six million metric tonne increase since 2019, but most disturbingly, the most plastic waste ever recorded. The use of fossil fuels to make plastic means it also has a large carbon footprint. The report also named the largest contributors to plastic generation. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYgGWTvjWx/ https://www.forgerecycling.co.uk/blog/how-long-it-takes-everyday-items-to-decompose/ https://www.minderoo.org/ Follow and turn notifications on so you can be alerted when new episodes are released.

Meet Sean Wittenberg, founder of the seafood company SafeCatch. He started the business with a mission to source safe and sustainable tuna and other fish after his mother was diagnosed with mercury poisoning when she adopted a diet that included frequent servings of canned tuna. Sausalito, Calif.-based Safe Catch offers a wide variety of fish products in cans and pouch packaging, and the fish is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, the provider of the familiar and often controversial MSC “blue check” label. The company tests every tuna it sells for mercury, enforcing standards its claims are 10 times stricter than the Food & Drug Administration's standard. It also offers sourcing and sustainability information about its practices for each species of fish it sells. We'll discuss how Safe Catch assesses its suppliers in an era when 10% of the world's fish stock is described by the Minderoo Foundation as being on the brink of collapse and almost half of fish stocks are over-fished. The company relies primarily on purse seine net fishing, a form of fishing that involves large nets. Sean explores the relationship between the continued burning of coal to generate electricity to the 300% increase in mercury levels in the oceans. We discuss plastic pollution and the recyclability of Safe Catch's can and pouch packaging, which it collects through a mail-in program supported by Terracycle.You can learn more about Safe Catch at https://safecatch.com/

The average cost to Australia of natural disasters is currently estimated at $38 billion each year. It is time to shift our focus from spending on response and recovery, and to invest more into resilience and recovery. Adrian Turner is the CEO of the Fire and Flood Resilience program at the Minderoo Foundation. In this podcast, Adrian lays the argument for change.

"The most terrifying things at sea are when the thing you predicted might happen, actually happens." This episode of the Investing for Life podcast explores the remarkable career, service and life journey of Rear Admiral Lee Goddard CSC. As someone who has spent his life facing into uncertainty, setbacks and challenges, Lee shares several stories with our host, Douglas Isles, about what happens when you have no other option but to face up to your worst fears. After 34 years in the Royal Australian Navy responding to life-threatening situations like people smuggling and refugees lost at sea, Lee has learned a lot about leadership, decision making and resilience, and has now transferred those skills beyond defence. He explores what inspired this change, and shares what life is like today, through his work with AUKUS, the Minderoo Foundation, and as Chair of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. This is a fascinating discussion that tackles disconnection from family, keeping an open mind, and how the way you respond to major challenges defines your character and leadership qualities. In Lee's words: “I think what I would be most proud as a leader, is if people remember how I achieved things, rather than what I achieved – even with my family.”   Listen to this conversation to: - Learn about Lee's origins as ‘a boy from the suburbs' who joined the Navy as a teenager to escape banality; - Discover the many setbacks and challenges he has faced at sea, including the most challenging moments like dealing with people smuggling and refugees lost at sea; - Learn his first-hand experience of spending long periods away from family and friends, and how he built resilience; - Hear how his experience recruiting helped him realise first impressions are not always correct (and how that applies in the investing world); and Discover why, after a 30+ year career in the Navy at age 50, Lee made the significant decision to explore a new path.       Investing for Life is hosted by Douglas Isles, Platinum Asset Management.Disclaimer: Issued by Platinum Investment Management Limited ABN 25 063 565 006, AFSL 221935.

The fires that tore through the South Coast of New South Wales in 2019/2020 hit towns on the coast and in the bush. Within the community, homes were lost, some experienced events that left them traumatised and all inhabited a devastated landscape.   Animal habitats were also affected, and when both logging companies and urban developers began to encroach on the habitat of the critically endangered Swift Parrot, locals from the South Coast began to stand up and take action to save the home that this small bird needs in order to survive.   Content warning: this feature contains stories from the 2019/2020 Fires.     Guests: Bill Eger Nick Hopkins Jordan Nye Dr. Debbie Saunders     Credits: Producer: Alice Ansara Executive producer and sound design: Sarah Mashman Engineer: Tegan Nicholls Theme music by Oliver Beard Additional music by Blue Dot Sessions Management team: Abe Killian and Sime Knecevic In co-operation with 2EAR, Moruya   This episode was made on the lands of the Walbunga and the Budawang people of the Yuin Nation and the lands of the muwinina people from Country around nipaluna.

To describe Nicola Forrest AO in a few words is incredibly difficult. She is a mother, philanthropist, change-maker and country girl born and bred.Alongside her husband Andrew Forrest of Fortescue Metals Group, Nicola is the co-chair and co-founder of Minderoo Foundation and a director of the Tattarang Group.She campaigns to better the lives of children and the vulnerable, but also drives advances in the arts and community sectors and for the equality of women.Her story is many things; it's aspirational and I hope you will find it inspirational but most of all, and the reason we wanted to tell Nicola's behind-the-scenes story is because it's relatable. Nicola Forrest could have been any one of us; she grew up on a farm in Spicers Creek in central west New South Wales, had a penchant for agriculture and on travelling to remote north Queensland for a sniff of adventure, she fell in love with the Outback and eventually Andrew Forrest.This is a story of Nicola Forrest as a young girl and as a mother. And a warning this episode does speak about the loss of a child.

The Capability - Submarines, industrial development and frontier technologies webinar was a discussion at the highest levels of business about how companies can mobilise to build strategically important and commercially valuable intellectual property. Large-scale defence contracts direct huge investment into high-tech industries. At a time when a raft of powerful new technologies are coming of age, considered and well-directed industry programs and partnerships can be truly transformative. The industrial development opportunities for Australia are extraordinary. Where is Australia placing its big bets to leverage existing research leadership? Where does Australia already have comparative advantage, and where will it partner to augment home-grown capability ? Quantum, artificial intelligence, 5G, advanced manufacturing, robotics and automation, and critical mineral processing are all part of this mix. Expert guests included: The Hon. Steven Marshall, Premier of South Australia Professor Michelle Simmons AO, CEO & Founder at Silicon Quantum Computing, Director at ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology Rear Admiral Lee Goddard , RAN, Head of Partnerships & Operations at Minderoo Foundation. For more information on what was discussed, see AUKUS brings ‘huge multiplier effect' to local industry (innovationaus.com).

Welcome to Episode 4 of the Spring Series of Good Will Hunters, which asks, Can Australia be a Sustainability Superpower? WWF is proud to be collaborating with Good Will Hunters on this series, in the lead up to COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow from 31 October to 12 November. The sustainability of our ecosystems, energy networks, food systems and the cities we live in has never been more important. You can join the conversation via @goodwillpod or #RegenerateAustralia. In our fourth episode of the series, we speak to Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, Chair and Founder of Fortescue Metals Group and Fortescue Future Industries(FFI), Minderoo Foundation, and Tattarang. You'll hear us talk about how Fortescue has gone in front of Government policy, to invest in world-leading technological innovations in renewable energy.

Russia says it plans to stop investing in dollar-denominated assets through its sovereign wealth fund, in response to rising US sanctions. Speaking at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum in Moscow, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said the 186-billion-dollar National Wealth Fund will instead increase investments in the euro, Chinese yuan and gold. The announcement comes just days before Russian president Vladimir Putin meets his US counterpart Joe Biden in Geneva. Meanwhile, Moscow is trying to deepen economic ties with other countries with more than 300 agreements being inked at this year's event. Participants are also debating the adoption of green technologies and sustainable business practices, but many Russian businesses say it could take decades to significantly reduce the economy's dependence on fossil fuels. For more on this, we spoke to Andrew Forrest in St Petersburg. He's chairman of Fortescue Metals Group and the Minderoo Foundation. #Russia #SovereignWealthFund #USsanctions
