This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 How investment advice is changing – ‘The film is a rollercoaster ride into the last few years of how technology is changing our relationship to money’, says Chris Temple, director of This Is Not Financial Advice, a documentary that follows four online investors, including one who made - and lost - millions in crypto. 5:56 New tech reveals the impacts of climate change – Using AI, we can process Earth Observation (EO) data faster.

Its reefs generate around $1.6 billion in value every year through fisheries, coastline protection and tourism. But Indonesia’s reefs face a range of threats. 9:21 Ray Dalio on funding climate action – By 2050, climate damage could cost between $1.7 trillion and $3.1 trillion per year.

Right now, climate action is hugely under-financed. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
