“Growing up in the city, my path to conservation wasn’t typical. But escaping to the fjords opened my eyes to an underwater world full of wonders and immense beauty.” Story with Nina Jensen, Marine biologist and CEO of REV Ocean, Board Member Polyteknisk Forening, Board Member KR Foundation, Board Member Heramba Electric, Board Member OceanWise, Board Member HUB Ocean, Board Member SLB Capturi Advisor High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, Board Member Business for Peace Foundation, Former CEO WWF Verdens naturfond Our oceans are home to breathtaking #biodiversity and play a vital role in supporting life on Earth. But this natural wonder is fragile, and with every passing year, the need to protect it becomes more urgent. Every solution, no matter how small, contributes to a larger impact. 🌱 True conservation begins with awareness and access. When people experience the beauty of our oceans firsthand, they gain a deeper understanding of why protecting these ecosystems is essential for our planet’s health. Through #collaboration and #innovation, individuals worldwide are coming together to tackle marine pollution, biodiversity loss, and the effects of climate change.

With today’s youth increasingly concerned about the future, particularly in the face of climate change and environmental degradation, it’s essential that we offer them a vision of hope and opportunity—especially in the vast and resilient ecosystems of our oceans. Ocean champion Christine Spiten from EntrepreneurShipOne, byFounders Danske Bank and Co-founder of Blueye Robotics and board member of Clean Sea Solutions, Advisory Board member of NMBU - Norwegian University of Life Sciences gives us a view of how we should tell the story! Our oceans aren’t just vital for biodiversity; they’re also a cornerstone of sustainable development, responsible for 50% of the oxygen we breathe and crucial in regulating our climate. Yet, ocean conservation can seem daunting for young people seeking ways to contribute. 💙 By fostering early curiosity and guiding them toward ocean exploration and conservation, we can equip the next generation to be innovative, passionate stewards of our seas. This starts with education, hands-on experience, and mentorship to bridge the gap between concern and action. Let’s inspire our future generation to dive deeper, understand the ocean’s challenges, and discover meaningful roles they can play. Hope lies in knowledge—and by engaging young people today, we empower ocean champions for tomorrow. 🌊 Stories connect us all Story captured while storytelling on Electric Boat sharing with Kruser.

🌍 Building a Future We Can Be Proud Of: The Shift to Sustainable Capitalism. “We don't own the planet—we're just passing through. While you might hold title deeds, the real legacy we leave behind isn’t measured by short-term profits but by the #impact we have on the world,” states Professor Mervyn King SC , Chair Integrated Reporting Committee of South Africa, Co Chair Value Reporting Foundation and Patron: Good Governance Academy . It's time to move beyond profit at any cost and embrace #sustainablecapitalism, where businesses create long-term value while protecting our planet. 🌱 The key question today isn't just how much money a company makes, but how it makes that money. If we continue to destroy value for the sake of profit, we're robbing future generations of a livable world. The challenge is simple: Will we leave behind a better world than the one we found? This is more than a business strategy—it’s a moral duty. 💡 Let’s rethink our values, invest in #sustainability, and lead with purpose. Because the #choices we make today will shape the world our grandchildren inherit.

🌐 Why should YOU care about blockchain? Blockchain has the potential to transform the world by empowering humans in ways we can barely imagine today. It’s more than tech—it’s about creating a truly democratic, transparent system we can all trust. Thought Leader Amar Singh -Global Cyber Security & Privacy Thought Leader - CEO Cyber Management Alliance Limited shares his expertise on the topic during an interview for Naoris Protocol on a deeper dive to understand the universe of Blockchain 🔗. We can no longer afford to ignore the impact of blockchain technology on industries, consumers and the future. As our lives become more connected, from our phones to our fridges, it’s time to ask ourselves: are we ready for the impact? Our children and grandchildren will judge the choices we make today. Let’s shape the future responsibly.

“There are ways that we human beings can use our ingenuity to get us out of this trap that we've built for ourselves. We just have to have the collective will to do it.” Rick Ridgeway Co-Founder (Cascale), Former VP of Environmental Affairs in Patagonia. We each need to take bold action if we are to create a liveable future for ourselves and all the species we share this planet with. It is time to rethink our actions and make conscious decisions that protect our planet's future. If we listen to these words and take a minute to pause and look at how we can all take part with our everyday actions. By blending Indigenous Knowledge with modern science, we can create pathways to a more sustainable future.  Let’s take responsibility for our footprint and work towards restoring the balance.
