Our community of outstanding individuals and organizations is and always has been at the vanguard of disrupting business as usual. We believe that, by coming together, we’re more likely to find the ideas, solutions and partnerships that will transform our society. Together, we can accelerate impact in all areas of our economy: investment, trade, global supply chains, technology and innovation, and jobs. Together, we are redefining what it means to be successful and prosperous in the 21st century. Our team is 100% dedicated to making GLOBE 2018 a transformative and memorable experience for each and every one of our delegates. Each of you has experience, practices, tools and knowledge that will make us better at what we do, and get us closer to where we want to be. Nothing short of transformational change and bold action will shift our business and economic landscape towards clean prosperity. GLOBE Forum is a platform for making that shift and having an even bigger impact. An event the size and scale of GLOBE Forum is the result of an enormous team effort. We owe a debt of gratitude to our amazing staff, sponsors and partners for their support. We know there is more work to be done. There are opportunities waiting for us. As a global community of leaders, we have the ideas, ingenuity and will to succeed. Let’s get to it at GLOBE 2018. Very best, CHRIS HENDERSON MIKE GERBIS NANCY WRIGHT Chair, GLOBE Series CEO, GLOBE Series Chief Operating Officer, GLOBE Series Welcome Message from Premier John Horgan Welcome to beautiful Vancouver, B.C. and to GLOBE Forum 2018. Thank you for being here, and for your commitment to work together fight climate change. The annual global temperature record has been broken five times since 2005, including the last three years. The threats to our food, our water supply and our health are undeniable. Climate change affects everyone. Sitting back and accepting the status quo isn’t an option. If we do that, we fail our kids and our shared future. But how do we find solutions? For me, that means looking at the climate challenge as an opportunity to build a strong, sustainable economy that works better for people and the environment. That’s why our government is making B.C. a leader in climate action, and working with climate leaders around the world to cut carbon pollution while making life more affordable for people and creating good jobs. To that end, the B.C. government recently appointed a Climate Solutions and Clean Growth Advisory Council that is tasked with providing a road map to building a strong sustainable economy that benefits everyone, while meeting our obligation to address climate change. We’re supporting innovation in the job creating tech sector, clean energy, green transportation and sustainable construction to make sure B.C. is a leader in the low- carbon economy of the future. We’re also putting firm limits on emissions by committing to an interim target for 2030 of a 40% overall reduction in carbon emissions, and we are increasing the carbon tax by $5 per tonne each year, beginning April 1, 2018. Tackling the challenges of climate change and protecting B.C.’s environment means getting to work creating good jobs and a sustainable, innovative economy that puts people first. That’s exactly what we’re doing. We’re making B.C. a climate leader. Because our shared future depends on it. Thank you for being part of the solution.

  • Hootsuite's Fifth Annual Report on the Latest Global Trends in Social Media
    SOCIAL TRENDS Hootsuite’s fifth annual report on the latest global trends in social media To say any of us saw 2020 coming would be a lie. A global pandemic, economic collapse, unignorable calls for racial equality, and an ongoing climate crisis all made for a tough, dark year. But when there is darkness, there is light. There is resiliency, innovation, and creativity—and there’s always a path back to growth. In this year’s report, you’ll find big ideas and quick wins. New solutions to old problems. And real stories from leading brands around the world. All backed by insights from the brightest minds in marketing and data from our biggest survey yet. I hope it helps you find your way forward. Tom Keiser CEO, Hootsuite contents 4 Executive summary 6 Methodology 7 The most effective social platforms for 2021 10 TREND 1 The race to ROI Social bridges the gap to a new customer experience 18 TREND 2 Silence is golden Brands find their place in the conversation 26 TREND 3 Way more than OK A generation ignored by digital marketers booms on social 33 TREND 4 Do I know you?

TREND 1 | page 10 The race to ROI: Social bridges the gap to a new customer experience As businesses struggle to recoup lost sales in the wake of the pandemic, marketers turn to social to meet two equally urgent imperatives: deliver short-term ROI with targeted performance marketing tactics while building innovative digital experiences that win long-term loyalty by bringing discovery, connection, and fun back to the customer experience.

  • Letter to Shonan Maru
    To: The Captain of the Shonan Maru From: Pete Bethune – Captain of Ady Gil Dear Sir. Opinions from Maritime experts agree that in the ramming of the Ady Gil, which occurred on 6th January 2010, that you were responsible for the event. Below is their opinion: 1. You approached from my port side, so I had right of way 2. You were the overtaking vessel so you had an obligation to keep well clear of me 3. Your water canons impeded yours and our view leading up to the ramming, which may have exacerbated the situation 4. You fired LRADs at us, adding to the general state of confusion 5. You turned hard to starboard at the last moment, deliberately ramming my vessel and endangering my crew. 6. The Ady Gil sank as a result of your actions in ramming it. I am here to arrest you. I am requesting that you transfer now to the Steve Irwin, where we will take you into custody, and we will deliver you to the Maritime Safety Authority and the New Zealand Police once we reach Wellington (New Zealand). If you refuse to be arrested, then I am requesting that you deliver me to Wellington (New Zealand). Having sunk my vessel, and with our issuing of a mayday call, you have an obligation under maritime law to provide me with safe passage back to land. I will refuse to be handed over to any Sea Shepherd vessel. I will also refuse to be handed over to any New Zealand or Australian Coastguard, Customs or Naval vessel.
