Guest Post by Jan Russell, President of the GreenSpring Institute, USA. We live in a world with a growing population of over 7 billion people.

For countless travelers, the term “smart airport” is an oxymoron. For these individuals, massive crowds, endless delays and a rash of other headaches hardly add up to an intelligent environment. One exponential technology—a technology that is growing at an exponential rate—that’s helping to create smarter, more efficient airports is the Internet of Things (IoT).

More good news showing progress on climate change as suppliers around the world are cutting their carbon emissions significantly. To a new report by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) , The Carbon Trust and BSR , the suppliers of 89 large multinationals have cut their emissions by 434 million tonnes of carbon dioxide last year alone. This is more than the annual emissions of my home country, France.

A quote often attributed to Oscar Wilde urges people to be themselves because everyone else is taken. In a way, that bit of wisdom certainly applies to organizational identity, where what you are serves to differentiate you from both partners and competitors. But in building and managing identity, anticipatory organizations are very much aware that a valuable identity is not a one and done proposition.

An old cliché has it that there is no “I” in team. Like many well-worn phrases, that one holds a certain amount of truth—and not just in the literal spelling. In effect, a strong team emphasizes the group, not just one individual. The thinking is, when the team advances as a whole, so, too, does everyone within it. That begs a question: How do you build a team that is characterized by strong, coordinated teamwork?

As the Arctic is 30 degrees Celsius (50 F) warmer than what it should be right now, finding local solutions to cool down the poles suddenly doesn’t seem this far-fetched anymore. . Years ago I read a short article on how bringing more ice to the poles could help slow down climate change. A Professor of applied physics from Harvard, David Keith, was proposing a rather extreme approach to the problem.

That’s it ! Renewable energy sources and electric vehicles are progressing so fast around the world that according to a new study coal and oil use could peak worldwide in as little as three years. Yes, you read that right. We knew that global greenhouse gases emission from energy had been peaking for the past three years – largely thanks to China – but now, here is another series of nails in the coffins of coal and oil.

I came across several articles on my home country lately and thought it was the occasion to keep everyone updated on how the French energy transition is going on. First thing first, I am very disappointed that the Socialists running the country did so little on renewable energy sources during their mandate. After all, they are allied to the Greens, who should be adamant on renewables and energy efficiency.
