Shifts in global tourism
| | | | Following on from last week's article on how young people experience eco-anxiety, we offer practical pointers on how adults and caregivers can provide children with critical climate education both digitally and by promoting nature-based outdoor learning.

Finally, a research unit at EDHEC Business School in Paris has invented a new self-assessment tool to help employers encourage progressive change and speak-up culture in the workplace. |  | Carly Lock Editor, Paris | |  Sanae Okamoto, United Nations University; Nidhi Nagabhatla, United Nations University; Robert Oakes, United Nations University There are things that we can do to combat the climate crisis.

A free tool for integrity professionals seeks to improve channels for encouraging employees to speak up. | | | | | -
