#FoodSystems are essential for achieving the #SDGs in China. Among policy measures, a shift to more #plant-based healthy diets (EAT-Lancet) has the lowest level of trade-offs, leading to better #nutrition, #health, #environment & livelihoods: https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-01100-z #China #diets

Stop being irritated by disabled people's anger at society and the government for exclusion, ableism, and inaccessibility.
Instead: Be angry with us.

Disabled people shouldn’t have to ask for access, accommodations, or basic civil rights.
The ableist system puts nondisabled folks in charge as gatekeepers, controlling what rights we get.
That’s not justice — it’s exclusion.

I have an opinion piece in the Green Agenda - The Right to Repair - the Canberra Revolution https://greenagenda.org.au/2024/11/the-right-to-repair/ From repair cafés to policy reform, Canberra has been at the forefront of the right to repair movement in so called Australia. Local activists and the ACT Greens have pushed for change, while federal policy trails behind global developments. #righttorepair #auspol #auslaw #SDGs #circulareconomy #productivitycommission

Global benefits flow when innovation shared: UN Pact for the Future https://www.qut.edu.au/news?id=196851 I have been doing a few talks this month on our collection on Intellectual Property and Sustainable Development (co-edited by Bita Amani and Caroline B Ncube and published by Edward Elgar Publishing) and its implications for the September Summit of the Future. The final text of the Pact for the Future is intriguing in terms of how it deals with the sharing of the benefits of science, technology, and innovation. #SDGs #IP #innovation #science #research #sustainability #techtransfer

It's our busiest time of the year! The next few days of #GlobalGoalsWeek and #UNGA79 are chock full of excellent events related to the #SDGs.
Today we will be following:
Until now, the only people who have been able to benefit from having intelligences doing all the boring jobs for them have been those individuals who are relatively rich and powerful.
#AI as a foundational technology really does have the longterm *potential* to allow everyone on Earth to have those same benefits and that same quality of life: automating work we don't want to do, boosting science in every field, and solving #SDGs.
We (all of us) just need to fight back against the rich and powerful who are seeking to keep and strengthen their current advantages by moving more and more of our future infrastructure under their control and surveillance. Anybody obsessed with infinite growth is a suspect.
Disability isn't an exclusive club. It doesn't discriminate based on age, race, or socioeconomic status.
An accident, an illness, or simply the passage of time can change anyone's abilities.
So, when we push for accessibility and inclusion, we're not just thinking about ourselves—we're thinking about you, your loved ones, and generations to come.

A summary of our dialogue on intellectual property, sustainable innovation, and the SDGs at the Victoria University of Wellington https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/law/centres/nzciel/events/reports/2024/seminar-on-intellectual-property-sustainable-innovation-and-the-sdgs #SDGS #IP #2030Agenda #nzlaw #nzpol
It was great to discuss intellectual property and the sustainable development goals on a panel with Professors Jessica Lai, Susy Frankel and Christian Schott at the Victoria University of Wellington. It was a good opportunity to explore the many fine contributions contained in the collection, The Elgar Companion to Intellectual Property and the Sustainable Development Goals, which I edited along with Bita Amani and Caroline B Ncube for Edward Elgar Publishing. https://lnkd.in/g--Zpqz4 It was also a useful platform to consider New Zealand's progress towards the realisation of the sustainable development goals. #SDGs #IP #copyright #trademark #patent #sustainability #nzlaw #nzpol
Ableism doesn’t just marginalize; it dehumanizes. When society devalues disabled people, it’s a profound violation of their basic rights and dignity.
We must challenge these attitudes and affirm that all are equally valuable and worthy.

Disabled people don't just "deserve" access to the world- we have a right to it.
Denying us the freedom to use a bathroom, enjoy a meal, or be a part of society is a denial of our human rights.
Until our rights are honoured, justice and equality remain empty promises.

Immediate Actions Needed:
1. Eliminate fossil fuel dependency
2. Ramp up solar and wind energy
3. Transition to full electrification
4. Prioritize local production and consumption
5. Emphasize conservation efforts

Stop labeling disabled people as 'inspiring' for surviving a rigged system.
The real inspiration would be tearing down the ableist structures that oppress them.
Accessibility, inclusivity, and equal rights aren't optional—they’re overdue.

Remember:
1. Our oceans are dying.
2. Forests are vanishing rapidly.
3. Fertile soil is diminishing.
4. Megafauna face extinction.
5. Insect populations are plummeting.
6. Plastic is infiltrating our bloodstreams.
Yet, none of this makes front-page news.

"Did you know that most people watch the Paralympic Games to see athletes 'overcome their disabilities' rather than for the thrill of elite sports competition?
A recent Channel 4 commissioned study revealed that 59% of viewers tune in for the former reason, while only 37% seek the excitement of the sport itself.
This eye-opening statistic is at the heart of Channel 4’s powerful new campaign.
