🍿 Grab the popcorn because today is the Monday Movie! 🍿   🎥 Today’s tip is 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 (2016), directed by Fisher Stevens. In this documentary, Leonardo DiCaprio and the film crew traveled to places like Greenland, India, and China to show the impacts of climate change. 💡 Curiosity: The documentary highlights how climate change impacts environmental and social sustainability. This perspective broadens the conversation around climate action, encouraging a more holistic approach that considers people’s needs and vulnerabilities, particularly those most affected by climate change. #csls #mondaymovie #myklu #climatechange #documentary #sustainability Source: https://lnkd.in/exBVK8J4)

⛰️ Mount Everest, the Earth's highest mountain above sea level, is littered with an estimated 50 metric tons of waste. 🧗 Each climber generates approximately 8 kilograms of waste. The Nepalese government spends $7.5 million every year on the “Mountain Clean-up Campaign,” collecting tons of waste from Mount Everest and nearby peaks. However, this action is still not enough to address the trash issue. 🎨 In order to tackle this issue and raise awareness, the organization “Sagarmatha Next” has repurposed the collected trash into art. #csls #myklu #factfriday #MountEverest #waste #sustainability Source: https://lnkd.in/eqUnQQZ3

🍿 Grab the popcorn because today is the Monday Movie! 🍿   🎥 Today’s tip is 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐨 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (2021), directed by Ludo Brockway and Otto Brockway. This documentary embarks on a cinematic journey around the world, portraying the perspectives of various stakeholders, such as indigenous people, globally renowned figures, and leading scientists. It sends a simple but impactful message by uncovering hard truths and raising awareness about the most pressing issue of our generation – ecological collapse. 💡 Curiosity: It explores the connection between animal farming and deforestation, showing how large swathes of rainforests, particularly in the Amazon Forest, are being cleared to make way for livestock farming and the cultivation of crops to feed these animals. The intersection between dietary habits and environmental degradation underscores the urgency for sustainable food systems and dietary choices. #csls #mondaymovie #myklu #climatechange #documentary #sustainability Source: https://lnkd.in/ekgHC7q2

🌎🌍🌏 World Earth Day 2024: Google collected aerial photos for its Doodle from organizations including Airbus and NASA 🛰️📷 In the Doodle, each letter showcases some of the places across the globe where different stakeholders work continuously to help protect the planet’s natural wonders, biodiversity, and resources. These examples offer the promise of hope and optimism but also remind us that much more needs to be accomplished to address today’s grand sustainability challenges.

🍿 Grab the popcorn because today is the Monday Movie! 🍿   🎥 Today’s tip is 𝑺𝒂𝒏 𝑨𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔 (2015), directed by Brad Peyton. This disaster movie follows the story of a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot, played by Dwayne Johnson, as he navigates through the aftermath of a massive earthquake along the San Andreas Fault in California, USA. 💡 Curiosity: The film received many critiques, particularly regarding its scientific (in)accuracies. For example, in a film blog by The Guardian, Tiziana Rossetto, a professor of earthquake engineering shared: “San Andreas is entertaining and the special effects are amazing, but the chaos and destruction is exaggerated. But I suppose that’s the whole point of this sort of blockbuster Hollywood movie. What you do really see is the value of preparedness. At one point, Lawrence (Giamatti) says something along the lines of: “It’s not a matter of ‘there may or may not be an earthquake’, it’s when.” That’s the case with most areas with high seismic activity. We have to prepare for when an earthquake will happen, because it will. We don’t know what size it will be or when it will take place, but we need to be prepared at personal, community and government levels in order to minimise the consequences. The importance of having an emergency plan and being prepared does come through in the film, and that’s a positive thing.” #csls #mondaymovie #myklu #earthquake #SanAndreasFault #preparedness Sources: https://lnkd.in/e9XdcFFk) https://lnkd.in/eCjQ7rbc

𝐂𝐒𝐋𝐒 𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐮𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 Today, Kuehne Logistics University is a pretty crowded place as we host the Kuehne Foundation’s Logistics Day 2024. This year, we put a focus on AI and, of course, sustainability. Right now, CSLS’s Johannes Meuer is hosting a session around the question: how are we going to finance the transition to low-carbon assets and fuels? He is joined by two great guests: Martin Jacobs from shipzero and Cristiano Façanha, PhD from the Smart Freight Centre. In another session later today, two longstanding friends of CSLS – Friedel Sehlleier and Timo Landener – take the stage and discuss how logistics can become a driving force for low-carbon development. Exciting day!

🌐 Closing Global Gender Gaps: The Role of Gender Parity Accelerators 💼 According to the 2023 Global Gender Gap Report, it will take 131 years to close global gender gaps. Gender Parity Accelerators, collaborative efforts between public and private sectors, aim to advance women's labor force participation, pay equity, and leadership. In Latin America, nine countries have established Accelerators in partnership with the Forum and IDB. Yet, gender parity is not just about fairness; it is a solution to many global challenges. It fosters sustainable growth, economic stability, and resilience. Moreover, amidst the green and technological transition, it drives innovation and economic diversification. Through public-private collaboration, Gender Parity Accelerators in Latin America have shown promising progress over the past seven years. Co-chaired by ministers and CEOs, these platforms engage the largest national employers to drive impact for gender equality. 🚀 #csls #myklu #factfriday #sustainability #genderequality #inclusion #sustainablegrowth Source: https://lnkd.in/dXQ3Gf2J

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗝𝗮𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗿-𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗸𝗼! Today was a special day for CSLS and Kuehne Logistics University as our very own Moritz Jäger-Roschko was scheduled to defend his PhD thesis on closed-loop plastics recycling. And boy, did he deliver! You could tell that Moritz didn’t pick his topic because it was fashionable but driven by a deeply rooted motivation to help tackle our problems with growing plastic waste. Congratulations, Moritz. The entire team is super happy for you. A huge 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂! to the fabulous external reviewers Thomas S. Spengler and Ruth Carrasco-Gallego, and to Christina Raasch for chairing the committee. Congratulations also to the supervisors Moritz Petersen and Maria Besiou. You can tell from the picture how proud they are! Moritz's thesis was part of our H2020 CREATOR project. Thank you also to Irma and everyone we collaborated with.

🍿 Grab the popcorn because today is the Monday Movie! 🍿   🎥 Today’s tip is 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒆 (2022), directed by Lori Miller. This documentary portrays the journeys of natural winemakers in Northern California, during the largest wildfire season on record. It also explores the artistry behind the creation of natural wine, which uses no chemical additives and is produced through innovative sustainable farming by small producers. 💡 Curiosity: In an interview with Forbes, Lori Miller was asked what she hoped viewers would take away from the documentary: “Through the making of the film, I found many multi-layered messages, including healing the earth through farming, and doing work that you love. But a simple and overreaching message is that as consumers, we can choose quality over quantity. In all segments of society, there is a profit-motive drive to mass-produce products like hotels, houses, food, fast fashion, and action films. The wines highlighted in the film are all unique tasting and looking, and made with thoughtfulness and integrity. Vintages and even bottles from the same vintage may vary as the wine is meant to express the changes in the natural environment, climate, and topography. These qualities can be enjoyed and valued, and I hope the film inspires people to look for and try wines from small producers.” #csls #mondaymovie #myklu #winemaking #farming #resilience #sustainability Sources: https://lnkd.in/e-V3DQ5N https://lnkd.in/eUvJ929R
