#Israel just launched “preemptive” strikes against #Tehran. We are likely to see a series of waves of attacks and counter-strikes from #Iranian as missiles and jets take to the skies. The question is if and when Israel starts targeting #nuclear facilities.

Environmental #crime is no longer a side issue - it’s a $280 billion threat to #security, #markets, #nature and #climate. At #COP30, #UNTOC, #G20 and #BRICS, the world must treat it as a core diplomatic priority. ⁦@ProSyn⁩ ⁦@igarape_org⁩ https://t.co/MxzcEg1dIr

Transição energética baseada em “minerais verdes” é um paradoxo ecológico – uma solução que se autodestrói. Entrevista especial com Robert Muggah - Instituto Humanitas Unisinos - IHU https://t.co/BCLgKR3w1M

Global #AI governance is fractured. The US, Europe, and China have raced ahead with regulatory frameworks, while much of the Global South remains stranded at the policy starting line. A new report from @igarape_org casts light on the growing asymmetry. https://t.co/rfvqhxLNnR https://t.co/1yXJe8vyZU

US tech giants are serving as instruments of American influence, often at the expense of other nations' digital sovereignty. ⁦@MishaGlenny⁩ and I show in @ForeignPolicy⁩ that governments are belatedly waking-up to their risky digital dependencies. https://t.co/24g17aMZrY

#Ukraine may have carried out the most audacious attack of the war since 2022: SBU says drones hit 40 #Russian bombers in 4 locations (est $7b in damage). A reminder of how (AI-enabled) drone warfare exposes gaping vulnerabilities for (all) large armies. https://t.co/NDSEBOMmPK

“#TEDx Amazonia helps to amplify knowledge from the region, essential to reverse climate change, preserve forests, end deforestation and protect nature and future generations”, says ⁦@IlonaSzaboC⁩, cofounder of the Igarapé Institute and partner.” https://t.co/6t92xticHI

O dilema é evidente: como conciliar demanda por minerais estratégicos, essenciais para a transição energética, sem destruir a integridade ecológica e social da Amazônia? Não há resposta simples. Algumas reflexões neste artigo para a ⁦@ConversationBR⁩ https://t.co/Ue5lmscdrp

Illegal #logging, gold #mining, and #wildlife trafficking arn’t just environmental issues - they’re transnational #crimes. A global #UNTOC protocol could help close enforcement gaps. But fan governments turn momentum into meaningful action? @MongabayOrg https://t.co/N3166158hb https://t.co/LO3brttSse
