Ozone recovery as a reminder: science works, policy matters
The announcement that the Antarctic ozone hole reached its smallest seasonal extent since 2019 is one of the most encouraging environmental signals we have received in years. After decades of global cooperation under the Montreal Protocol, the atmospheric system is finally showing measurable signs of recovery: later opening dates, earlier closures, and a progressive reduction in area size. At a time when environmental news is often dominated by climate disruption, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem stress, this positive development matters. It demonstrates something fundamental: when the world commits to science-based policy, coordinated regulation, and long-term implementation, environmental recovery is not only possible, it is inevitable. But this is where the optimism ends, and the complexity begins.
COP30 in the Amazon – where we stand today
COP30, hosted for the first time in history inside the Amazon, in Belém (Brazil) , has become a symbolic and strategic moment for global climate governance. It brought together nearly 200 countries, along with businesses, indigenous communities, local governments and NGOs, to discuss how the world will adapt to the accelerating climate crisis. Although expectations were high, the outcomes were mixed: some tangible steps forward, but also major gaps in ambition, especially regarding the future of fossil fuels.

The ecosystem edge: maximizing stadium naming rights
The practice of selling naming rights for professional sports stadiums has grown into one of the most visible and lucrative sectors of sponsorship marketing. What was once considered a novelty—putting a corporate name on a building—has become a multi-billion-dollar industry with far-reaching implications for teams, municipalities, investors, and brand partners alike. In the NFL alone, naming rights agreements collectively generate well over a billion dollars annually, and new deals continue to climb to unprecedented valuations. Yet the naming rights story is no longer simply about signage, media mentions, or having one’s brand on the skyline. Today, the real value is unlocked when the naming rights contract is designed as part of a fertile ecosystem—a symbiotic environment where the sponsor’s brand, the stadium, the fans, and the surrounding community are actively engaged. The name on the building becomes only one component of a broader, carefully orchestrated strategy.
