This week's top stories of the week include:

0:15 Copenhagen rewards eco-tourists – The CopenPay scheme aims to create a more sustainable, considerate tourism. If visitors cycle or take public transport, participate in litter cleanups or volunteer at urban farms. They can access freebies such as guided museum tours, complimentary kayak rentals and even a free vegan lunch made from local crops.

1:49 Seafood is now more farmed than caught – Aquaculture has surged by 4.4% since 2020, says the FAO. Humans now farm 185.4 million tonnes of seafood every year as well as 37.8 million tonnes of algae, worth a collective $472 billion, a new record. The aquaculture boom doesn’t mean wild fish populations are safe, though. More wild fish stocks are overexploited than ever before.

3:35 Half of US cancer death is preventable – Researchers looked at 1.78 million cancer cases from 2019. In 19 of the 30 cancers studied, more than half of cases and deaths could have been avoided by making different lifestyle choices. The extent to which lifestyle choices can mitigate risk varies between cancer types while genetics and environmental factors also play a role.

5:00 AI can make recruiting fairer – Recruiters have been using AI-powered algorithms for years but they often rely on keyword searches to narrow down applicants, says Nancy Xu Founder and CEO, Moonhub. This approach can exclude many potential candidates. The best person for the role might not even describe themselves that way. Moonhub’s AI takes a different approach.
