In 2017, Edie Lush and Claudia Romo Edelman met for the first time, at Hub Culture. It's an example of the cultivated synergy which so frequently happens when stirring the Hub Culture soup -- after that interview, the idea of the Global Goalscast was conceived. One year later, the Global Goalscast was launched, with the partnership of CBS News, Harman, UNICEF, and so many other contributing partners -- and Claudia and Edie are still talking to people all over the world about what they are doing to help achieve the Global Goals and save the planet. Click here to see their very first interview, back in 2017. To hear what they've been up to in the years since TUNE IN to globalgoalscast.org, or LISTEN to the Global Goalscast, on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
In 2016, the ICEhouse was built in Davos for the first time.

In 2019, we met Gail Whiteman at the Arctic Basecamp in #Davos Arctic Basecamp, where she was sleeping with other scientists in tents to study and discuss the impacts of #climatechange.

Hub Culture is very proud to support their efforts! #climate #arcticbasecamp #science #schoolstrike4climate #gretathunberg #gailwhiteman #wef20 #davos2020
In 2019, Swedish student activist Greta Thunberg rocked Davos by speaking to world leaders and insisting that they DO something to stop climate change. Her #schoolstrike4climate sparked a movement and inspired a generation -- she was named Time's #personoftheyear, and dozens of children's books now feature Greta as a character. In the #ICEhouse, we hosted Greta's press conference, also on this channel, and @edielush also had the opportunity to talk to her one on one. NOTE -- please forgive the SOUND! if you stick it out, you will hear her voice. Her voice should be heard!

The tokenization of assets is disrupting the financial industry, but a big obstacle revolves around regulatory alignment.

Could this step towards more regulatory clarity potentially pave the way for more traditional investors to hold digital asset securities? In this session, we'll dive into the intersection between regulated securities and the cryptocurrency space, looking at the latest developments and the future of digital asset securities.
