0:14 – Could visiting this country be good for your health?: Sweden has teamed up with doctors for a new ad campaign about the health benefits of a visit, billing itself as ‘the first country in the world that doctors can prescribe’. The claims have some grounding in fact, as scientific studies confirm the advantages offered by Swedish habits such as cold plunges, foraging and ‘forest bathing’.
1:53 – This technology is the next generation of plastic recycling: What if there was an alternative to the current imperfect recycling systems? That’s the thinking behind DePoly, which switches out the conventional melt-based recycling for a chemical process that breaks plastic waste down into its original molecular building blocks, ready to be reused in new plastics.
4:41 – By 2035, 1.2 billion young people will reach working age in emerging markets. But there might only be jobs for a third of them: The World Bank forecasts a shortfall of 800 million jobs in emerging markets by 2035. How can governments and the private sector prevent this from happening? How can economies promote job growth? And which sectors offer the most promise?
8:44 – In Angola, this community used to hunt sea turtles. Now it protects them: Previously, locals in Hojiua, Angola, would kill up to 30 sea turtles a day to cook and sell. Now, they have jobs as caretakers and beach patrollers in an ecotourism economy based around turtle preservation.
