I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Since the global financial crisis, Britain has been through a difficult period, leading many to conclude the country is doomed to inevitable decline.

The economic consequences of Mr Trump: what the trade war means for the world 1:02:41

לפני 14 ימים1:02:41

1:02:41

Contributor(s): Philip Coggan | In this event, former Economist and Financial Times journalist Philip Coggan will talk about his new book, The Economic Consequences of Mr Trump: What the Trade War Means for the World. In the book Coggan argues that Donald Trump has upended the system of global economic and financial cooperation that helped to bring prosperity after World War Two. His rationale is based on a foolish misunderstanding of corporate supply chains, tariffs and the decline in manufacturing employment. Whatever level of tariffs is finally reached, his chaotic decision-making has caused untold damage.…

Exile economics – what happens when globalisation fails 1:02:54

לפני 20 ימים1:02:54

1:02:54

Contributor(s): Ben Chu | Join us for this conversation between journalist and author Ben Chu and LSE's Richard Davies about Ben's new book Exile Economics: What Happens if Globalisation Fails. In Exile Economics Ben Chu argues that nations are turning away from each other. Faith in globalisation has been fatally undermined by the pandemic, the energy crisis, surging trade frictions and swelling great power rivalry. A new vision is vying to replace what we’ve known for many decades. This vision – what Ben calls exile economics - entails a rejection of interdependence, a downgrading of multilateral collaboration and a striving for greater national self-sufficiency. The supporters of this new order argue it will establish genuine security, prosperity and peace. But is this promise achievable? Or a seductive delusion?…

Global trends in climate litigation 2025: report launch 1:22:15

לפני 5 weeks1:22:15

1:22:15

Contributor(s): Dr Danielle de Andrade Moreira, Kate Cook, Professor Michael Gerrard, Professor Jacqueline Peel, Dr Joana Setzer | This influential report provides an annual overview of key developments in climate litigation worldwide and identifies emerging trends shaping the future of climate law and governance. This year's report marks a decade since the landmark rulings in Urgenda Foundation v State of the Netherlands and Leghari v Federation of Pakistan. These cases pioneered the ‘rights-turn’ in climate litigation. Ten years on, the field has matured and diversified. In this edition, we expand our typology of case strategies to examine trends in cases heard by Supreme Courts and their equivalents, offering new insights into litigation outcomes at the highest judicial levels.Featured image (used in source code with watermark added): Photo by Kaboompics.com via Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/women-protesting-and-speaking-through-megaphones-8106775/…

Harnessing AI: safeguarding high-integrity data for climate action 1:31:14

לפני 5 weeks1:31:14

1:31:14

Contributor(s): Dr Melissa Chapman, Amy Fisher, Sylvan Lutz, David McNeil, Professor Carmen Nuzzo | Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are versatile technologies that have drastically lowered the cost of data production and analysis, potentially accelerating global decarbonisation and addressing socioeconomic issues. Nonetheless, concerns persist regarding their environmental impact and the risk of propagating low-quality information, especially with large language models (LLMs). Like any tool, AI can yield both positive and negative outcomes. As the demand for real-time data increases for the net-zero transition, the Transition Pathway Initiative Centre (TPI Centre) at LSE is navigating this challenge. While AI could help process the necessary data for net zero alignment, unchecked reliance on automation may lead to misinformation and greenwashing, jeopardising sound decision-making. This event will explore the TPI Centre’s pilot programme aimed at automating data collection to evaluate the net-zero progress of companies, banks, and countries. By bringing together academics, researchers, investors and businesses, we hope to foster discussions on the information essential for advancing the net-zero transition.Featured image (used in source code with watermark added): Photo by Getty Images via Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/photos/3d-rendering-of-earth-futuristic-technology-abstract-background-illustration-60_6d24hGTg…

Contributor(s): Professor Jason McKenzie Alexander, Professor Charlie Beckett, Hardeep Matharu | In a world of mass information, and misinformation, truth seems both easier and harder to find than ever before. As trust in traditional media erodes and social media blurs the line between fact and fiction, with authoritarian regimes weaponising disinformation and post-truth world leaders taking centre stage, how do we defend and promote knowledge, evidence and informed debate?…

Empowerment, safety and equity: children's visions of rights-respecting digital futures 58:34

Contributor(s): Dr Sakshi Ghai, Adam Ingle, Michael Murray, Professor Dylan Yamada-Rice | One in three internet users is a child, yet the digital world was not designed with children in mind. As we witness an acceleration of the development of technologies like generative AI, rapidly transforming children’s lives, tech regulation often prioritises speed over human and children’s rights. Yet the technology-related challenges children face and will face in coming years differ greatly worldwide. What can we learn from engaging children from around the world in imagining what children’s digital lives might look like in the future and what changes are needed to ensure child rights respecting digital environments and tech regulation?…

Big data for public good 58:38

לפני 5 weeks58:38

58:38

Contributor(s): Dr Sara Geneletti, Dr Laura Gilbert, Professor Helen Margetts | Routinely collected UK government data sets contain staggering amounts of information. The potential for the use of these data to understand how government policies are changing people’s lives, to aid better decision making and to hold government accountable for the policies they make is enormous. The process is not however all plain sailing. Good, big, and representative data sets are essential, and datasets are often far from perfect with inherent biases and missing entries. Cleaning data is time consuming and labour intensive and analysis requires skilled data scientists. These issues can be overcome or at least mitigated, and in the future government policies could be based on evidence drawn from these data and tested on model populations prior to implementation.…
