Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Kostas Bakoyannis, Chair of the Committee on the Environment, Climate Change and Energy at the European Committee of the Regions. Kostas has served as a member of the Committee since 2020 and previously held elected roles as Mayor of Athens, Governor of Central Greece, and Mayor of Karpenisi. He brings nearly two decades of public service experience including roles at the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Parliament in Brussels, and the World Bank in Kosovo. We were thrilled to connect with Kostas for an insightful discussion on Europe's energy future, the pressures facing European industry, and how the EU is navigating today's complex geopolitical landscape. In our conversation, Kostas shares his perspective on Europe's environmental and energy policies and the challenge of balancing energy security with energy transition amidst rising geopolitical tensions. We discuss the impact of tariffs and trade relations, Europe's internal challenges regarding energy affordability, regulatory complexity, and bureaucracy, and Greece's more balanced and pragmatic energy policies. We explore the importance of interconnection and regional energy cooperation within Europe, as well as the broader geopolitical and economic implications of efforts to connect energy systems with Cyprus and Israel. Kostas offers insights into how average Greek and EU citizens experience energy and financial pressures, the limitations of EU communication, and the importance of preserving the U.S.-European alliance built after WWII. We examine how different EU countries are pursuing diverse energy mixes and the need for technological neutrality in policymaking. We touch on Europe's evolving strategy on industrial policy and tariffs, the urgency of presenting a united Western front in dealing with China, calls for increased European defense spending, and the seriousness of concurrent economic, national security, and ideological tensions. Kostas highlights Greece's economic transformation, the investment climate, lessons from local governance, the need for more flexible, innovation-friendly regulation within the EU, and more. It was a broad-based discussion and we're thankful to Kostas for sharing his time and unique insights. Mike Bradley opened by discussing that “Trumpatility” is alive and global fear is high! He noted that Trump's reciprocal tariffs are dominating global markets and that broader equity markets could still have additional downside. However, the time for panic was weeks ago when equity market volatility was low, not today, when fear is extremely high. On the broader equity market front, Trump's reciprocal tariffs haven't just affected U.S. equities (S&P 500 down 12% over last 5 trading days) but also global equity markets (down 8-12%) over the same timeframe. Investor fear is historically high with the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) trading at ~55 today and as high as 60 on Monday (3rd highest VIX level of the last 30 years). The S&P 500 opened strongly on Tuesday (up 3.5%) before ending the day down just under 2.0%, which looks to be signaling that investors are “selling the bounce” rather than “buying the dip.” Investors seem inclined to “buy the dip” around the S&P's 200-day moving average of 4,675 (6-7% lower). On bonds, he pointed out that the 10yr bond yield trades at ~4.25%, which is a higher yield than it traded on Liberation Day, as traders sense the Fed could be conflicted between tariff induced price inflation and a tariff induced U.S. recession. March CPI & PPI reports due this week could influence Fed decisions, with a cooler-than-expected inflation reading possibly paving the way for interest rate cuts as early as the May 7th FOMC Meeting. In the oil market, WTI price has plunged ~$14/bbl (to $58/bbl) over the last five trading days and is now trading at Mar '21 price levels. The recent plunge in oil price was due not only to Trump

Nick welcomes Michael Ault, the long-serving Executive Director of the Downtown Sacramento Partnership, to the podcast. With an impressive 25+ year tenure leading the charge for California's capital city core, Michael offers a unique perspective on urban development, leadership longevity, and navigating complex challenges. Their conversation explores how downtown Sacramento is successfully bucking national trends, the critical role of collaboration and "social collisions," and the evolution of a Business Improvement District from its inception to a major force for revitalization. Michael shares his journey from taking a temporary role to becoming a pivotal figure in shaping downtown Sacramento's identity and future. He discusses the importance of aspirational leadership, especially during difficult times like the COVID-19 pandemic, and strategies for building and empowering a high-performing team. Filled with candid reflections on personal growth, the significance of mentorship, and the continuous effort to balance demanding work with family life, this episode provides a masterclass in sustained leadership, resilience, and creating a lasting legacy for a community. Episode Highlights: Sacramento's Success: How downtown Sacramento is bucking national trends with business growth. Michael Ault's Journey: From a one-year commitment to 25+ years leading the Downtown Partnership. The Power of Presence: Understanding "social collisions" and the value of in-person collaboration. Business Improvement Districts: The model, its evolution, and the impact of the Downtown Partnership. Leading Through Crisis: Maintaining positivity and an aspirational vision during challenging times. Team Dynamics: Strategies for attracting, retaining, empowering talent, and fostering a collaborative environment. Avoiding the Bottleneck: Transitioning leadership focus from individual execution to team enablement. The Role of Mentorship: Key figures and lessons learned, emphasizing honesty and integrity. Vulnerability in Leadership: The importance of asking for help and admitting you don't have all the answers. Key Takeaways: "We've got to be aspirational. I've got to be able to say this is going to be hard... What we're doing here makes a difference." "Regions are defined by their downtowns and the identity... what downtown Sacramento's perception is is important to the identity of this region. And we want to be proud of it." "Social collisions [are] conversations that wouldn't have happened randomly if you were not in the office together, talking, collaborating, mentoring..." "Selfishly, I would tell you I don't know where the downtown core would be without the work that we've done down here over the last 15 to 20 years." "This is really legacy work. What we're trying to do... is to create an urban center that this region can be proud of." "My job should be here to coach you up, to give you the skills you want, give you that confidence and move on to the next job in your career. I'm proud of you." "I really have a tendency to take things far too personally... I have got to switch from taking it so personally to figuring out what things we could be doing differently..." "Don't give up just because it's hard... you might end up being more proud of this than anything professionally you've ever done." "Downtown is going to be different and being different is great... we may have been over reliant on downtown's only big driver is the office market."

IFPRI Webinar How Can We Improve Food Security Monitoring in Conflict-Affected Regions? Machine Learning for Spatially Granular Food Security Mapping Co-organized by IFPRI and the CGIAR Initiative on Foresight March 25, 2025 Machine learning is transforming agricultural and food security research, enabling more accurate and timely insights. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is advancing data-driven approaches in various domains, including crop-type mapping, maize yield estimation, and boat detection. These innovations demonstrate the potential of machine learning in addressing complex challenges and informing policy decisions. A key challenge in this space is food security monitoring in fragile and conflict-affected settings, where timely, granular data is often lacking but essential for policymakers, humanitarians, and researchers. Traditional methods, such as in-person household surveys, are often expensive, infrequent, and spatially coarse, limiting their ability to provide timely insights at local scales. To address these challenges, IFPRI has developed a machine learning-based approach to estimate Food Consumption Scores—which is the most commonly used food security indicator by WFP and partners— at a granular village-tract level in Myanmar. This model leverages multiple data sources—including phone survey data, earth observation, crowd-sourced data, and GIS (Geographic Information System) datasets—to generate spatially explicit and near real-time food security assessments. During this seminar, we will discuss the development and application of this approach, the key data and modeling techniques used, and how this method can be scaled for other conflict-affected regions. We will highlight challenges such as data representativeness, feature selection, and model validation, and share insights into improving food security predictions. Finally, we will outline the broader implications of integrating machine learning with earth observation and survey data to support humanitarian efforts and policy decisions. Moderator and Opening Remarks Jawoo Koo, Senior Research Fellow, Natural Resource and Resilience Unit, IFPRI Presentations Joanna van Asselt, Associate Research Fellow, Development Strategies and Governance Unit, IFPRI Zhe Guo, Senior GIS Coordinator, Foresight and Policy Modeling Unit, IFPRI Links: More about this Event: https://www.ifpri.org/event/how-can-we-improve-food-security-monitoring-in-conflict-affected-regions-machine-learning-for-spatially-granular-food-security-mapping/ Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

As a share of the total CPG/FMCG market, private brands vary across major global regions. In the EU, private labels account for nearly 39% of total market value and 47% of unit sales, while in the U.S., they represent 22% of dollar sales and 24% of unit sales. Sally Lyons Wyatt and Ananda Roy talk about retailer investments for private brands, including being category-focused, consumer-obsessed, innovative and of high quality.  Highlights include:  Successful retailers treat private labels like brands, cross-promoting them with name brand products and partnering with notable chefs on product development.  In EMEA, private brands have pulled back price promotional efforts and instead are focusing on promoting premium quality at a competitive price to name brands. While the U.S. lags other global regions in overall private label share, some categories, notably in the fresh perimeter departments, have a high share of total CPG sales.  The rise of the term “zero consumer” in Europe describes consumers who seek better value but show zero loyalty to any retailer or established brand.

This webinar will discuss groundwater and surface water interactions in two presentations: Part I: Introduction (Judy Canova) Typical interactions between groundwater and surface water may vary in different regions depending on the types of climate that occur. This introduction focuses on principles and rudimentary cost-effective techniques that can be used to evaluate groundwater-surface water interactions with the expectation that groundwater discharge to surface water is typically not homogeneous and diffuse but rather heterogeneous and focused on preferential pathways of discharge. Case studies illustrating the evaluation of groundwater and surface water will be presented to demonstrate principles of characterization as well as the concepts of heterogeneity. Part II: Bonita Peak Case Study and CSM (Ian Bowen) This presentation will cover a geophysics characterization approach used to understand ground water/surface water interactions at the Bonita Peak Mining District Superfund Site, and the impact the findings had on the Conceptual Site Model.

Dr. Albert Green has spent his career at the intersection of technology and economic development. “I often refer to myself as bilingual, because I kind of speak both languages fluently,” he told the CBIA BizCast. QuantumCT just announced Green as its new CEO. The Connecticut public-private partnership is working to drive the adoption of quantum computing technologies and position Connecticut as a hub for research, technology development, and jobs. The University of Connecticut and Yale University-led partnership is competing for up to $160 million in funding as part of a National Science Foundation competition. “When I first learned about QuantumCT and what Connecticut was doing in this space, it just fit exactly what I'd done my entire career,” Green said. That career includes a PhD in physics from Stanford, more than 20 patents, and leading several technology companies. Green said it's an exciting time to be part of the quantum ecosystem in part because of the building excitement surrounding the technology. “If you look at popular culture, you see all these movies like Quantumania and stuff,” he said. “Leveraging that excitement is kind of cool.” He compared the technology to what we're seeing with the growth of artificial intelligence. ““I'm a firm believer that quantum technologies and quantum computing is where AI was 10 years ago,” Green said. “The regions that really drove that have to turn away people. And the idea is for us to do the same thing with quantum technologies.” With QuantumCT, Green said Connecticut is perfectly positioned to build an ecosystem that will make the region the Silicon Valley of the quantum economy. “It's higher ed, it's workforce, and it's our business community,” said Green. “What we're trying to do is to create essentially a mechanism that allows these organizations to effectively collaborate in this area that we see is coming, and that's really the core mission of QuantumCT.” Green said it was that workforce, higher education system, and culture of collaboration that attracted him to the role. “I've been a part of many different ecosystems,” he said. “The ability for those three elements to work together, I saw here in Connecticut—mainly the ability of the large R1 research institutions to work with the state government, and also the workforce to really bring these new innovations to the marketplace—was exciting.” With QuantumCT, Green said he hopes to capitalize on that collaboration and engage with the business community to put a framework in place that will grow Connecticut's quantum economy. He said some of Connecticut's biggest industries like defense, advanced manufacturing, and finance give the state a leg up because they've been early adopters of new technology. “Regions that tend to thrive, there is an ecosystem around large anchor corporations,” Green said. “What's really, really important is that the large institutions, the large anchor organizations and companies, view and recognize the importance of those smaller new [companies]. “They recognize that importance by being early adopters, by being helpful and in partnering with them for government grants, engaging with them.” Green said that while there's a lot of work to do, he's excited about what QuantumCT means for the future of Connecticut's economy and workforce. “Ultimately,” he said, “we win when the seven year old says, ‘Oh, wow, I want to work in something associated with quantum,' when that's no longer a mystery.” “The idea here is that QuantumCT really is about building that ecosystem that accomplishes that goal.” Related Links: QuantumCT Website: https://quantumct.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/quantumct/ Dr. Albert Green LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albert-m-green/ CBIA Website: https://www.cbia.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cbia/
