Mapping prospective conductors within the Angikuni sub-basin, representing high-priority Athabasca-style unconformity type targets 4. Identify ne
Addressing Climate Change by Changing Our Food Systems14.1.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESSWIRE / January 14, 2025 / The year 2024 was the hottest year on record. For the first time the average global temperature rose to 1.6C above preindustrial levels, exceeding the 1.5C vital to preventing accelerating climate change. The effects of climate change are now visible on every continent.Image: www.freepik.com Up to a third of global greenhouse gas production to date can be attributed to animal agriculture and food systems. Yet, most climate change solutions neglect the importance of food systems in climate change mitigation. In the article, ‘Solving Climate Change Requires Changing Our Food Systems,' published in leading scientific journal Oxford Open Climate Change, prominent scientists from around the world propose that the pressing nature of irreversible climate change requires rethinking our food systems. Lead researcher Dr Feigin and her co-authors assert that "we must undertake a global shift to a fundamentally plant-based diet and a gradual globa
The AI Gap: New Survey Reveals Enterprises Are Lagging in the High-Stakes AI Adoption Race14.1.2025 09:00:00 CET | Press release
Nearly 40% of Employees Say Their Organization Is Falling Behind Competitors Due to Slow Adoption NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 14, 2025 / A striking new survey from Unily uncovers an alarming truth: despite the excitement around AI as a transformative force, many enterprises struggle to adopt the technology in meaningful ways. The result is a growing gap between AI "haves" and "have nots," where enterprises adopting AI tools for their people are making quicker gains than those without. Additionally, employees who are open to using AI tools increasingly want more exposure to them and may even choose employers who are early AI adopters over those who are slower to adapt. The differences between companies and employees that embrace AI and those that don't include a downstream impact on Organizational Velocity. Organizational Velocity is defined as the ability to make sharp pivots, accelerate decision-making, and eliminate operational friction necessary to harness AI's full potentia
