Imaginary Friend... #WorldOceansDay | Global Goals
Read more
She’s got a friend in need… help her save it before it’s too late. #WorldOceansDay In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the Goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.

How We Saved the Ozone Layer

The Future of Life Award honors those whose overlooked actions have steered humanity from disaster. 2021's recipients went one step further: they steered all life on Earth away from disaster. The depletion of the ozone hole was a global crisis, involving a family of compounds that had become deeply embedded in the world's infrastructure, used in everything from hairspray and asthma inhalers to microchip production. In this video, we look at the science behind CFCs, and the work of our 2021 Future of Life Award winners in rallying the globe to identify and regulate them against all odds. Their work show us that the technology we feel we are most reliant upon, and the policy roadblocks that are the most entrenched, can be overcome through a commitment to science, cooperation, communication and innovation.

All eight of these people received the Future of Life Award. Read more about the award here: https://futureoflife.org/future-of-life-award/ This video tells the stories of eight real-life heroes, ordinary people who found themselves in extraordinary situations, at crossroads with significance far beyond themselves. In the face of resistance and personal risk, they decided to act for the good of all life on Earth. Together, these stories show how the future of life can be defended and supported with courage, science, consensus-building, innovation and hard work. The Future of Life Award recognizes overlooked heroes who made the world a much better place than it might otherwise have been. On August 6th, we announce this year’s new winners of the Award.
