Mandeep: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Fashion brands want and need to understand and reduce their sustainability impacts. However, 80% of companies still don’t know their full supply chain. Bendi solves this lack of supply chain knowledge problem with artificial intelligence that maps millions of data points of suppliers. Additionally, Bendi gathers information from local and national news, industry bodies and NGOs, legal cases, and social media to monitor risks related to suppliers in order to alert companies when human rights and environmental issues occur.
Pritvik: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Throughout my community, I've witnessed colossal ecological upheavals caused by premeditated environmental negligence. Our climate crisis stakeholders are not just scientific communities, but also global policy leaders and the public. Aiming to decode detrimental effects of anthropogenic climate change on current species and to create comprehensible predictive frameworks to stem today's calamities, I launched ‘Network and Assembly Theory Models of Mass Extinctions.’ The challenge was to decrypt atmospheric data and fossil records via mathematical models, detect molecular signatures of future mass extinctions, pinpoint stressors that aggravate disasters, spot species affected by this degradation, and constrain impact of catastrophes on biodiversity.
O'Neall: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! The World Bank Group Youth Summit thrives to offer a platform for youth to discuss pressing issues of development with their peers and global stakeholders. The goal is also to empower them and provide them with tools to make a change locally and globally.
