Meet The 76-Year-Old Fisheries Scientist Who Refuses To Accept ‘Destruction Of Biodiversity’ westcoastnow.ca/2023/01/26/mee…

“Boats connect us to our ocean. They connect people from different islands and cultures, they enable our ocean to be our highway…Boats are our lifeline.”

The #UBC community was clearly excited to be part of this very special educational event - I came out of the meeting feeling more hopeful for our world.

Last night we were honoured to host guests from Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji & the Solomon Islands who spoke passionately about traditional sustainable systems of seafaring navigation and vessel construction, maritime culture, and the urgency of addressing climate change

We are deeply grateful to Joseph Wong, Kathryn Ibata-Arens, Yanzhong Huang, Yves Tiberghien, NicholasA.R.Fraser, & Joanna Lewis for coming together to present in a symposium on "Prosperity and Human Security: Japan and Asia's 21st Century Governance Challenges."

As Heidi Tworek, Panthea and Yves Tiberghien write in their latest, global data governance is fragmented and inadequate, given the dual nature of data as both a fundamental human good and a commercial good: cigionline.org/articles/as-di…

The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that demands #Russia leave #Ukraine. In favour: 141 Against: 7 Abstentions: 32

Last night Seoul and Tokyo announced the de facto resolution of their dispute over wartime conscripted labor—signaling the arrival of a durable, closer partnership, write Victor Cha CSIS Korea Chair and Chris Johnstone CSIS Japan Chair. Read here: csis.org/analysis/japan…

The West has mostly stopped importing Russian energy. Instead, the 3 biggest importers are now China (black), Turkey (green) & India (brown). A big rejiggering that's fine as long as Russia's oil exports happen under the G7 cap. That's likely for India, but not China or Turkey...

The truth is that our current fragmented data governance frameworks are inadequate. A fundamental reassessment, one that goes beyond inserting chapters in trade agreements, is needed, write Panthea, Heidi Tworek and Yves Tiberghien: cigionline.org/articles/as-di…
