Deep dives
Uprising in Tibet
In March 1959, Tibet experienced an uprising against Communist Party rule, leading to significant changes in the region. The Dalai Lama fled into exile in India following rumors of abduction by Chinese authorities. This event marked a violent period that continues to affect Tibetans' sentiments towards the authorities, with a shared reverence for the Dalai Lama.
Climate Change and Business Risks
Climate change poses significant risks to businesses, with extreme weather events impacting properties and operations. Companies must prepare for increased threats such as hurricanes and floods to ensure business continuity. Failure to address climate-related risks can lead to substantial financial losses and negatively impact a company's long-term sustainability.

Efforts to promote gender equality and involve men in feminism are discussed. The conversation emphasizes the importance of men embracing feminist values and challenging traditional gender stereotypes. Companies are encouraged to prioritize climate adaptation strategies as crucial to their long-term success, moving beyond short-term economic concerns and towards sustainable business practices.
