  First-class is getting an upgrade 動画レッスン：ファーストクラスがアップグレード https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_FkqW6Mjg&t=3s   Vintage first-class travel catered to those who could really afford it. From this pristine propeller to classic fine dining, the Peninsula Hong Kong’s China Clipper lounge gives us a glimpse into the heyday of luxury travel. Fast-forward to today, a number of airlines are announcing revamps to first-class seats post-Covid, with the first to announce being Lufthansa and Qantas. The whole look and feel of first class shows it’s not just a seat anymore. The airlines want you to feel like you’re in a mini hotel room. Qantas has enclosed suites with high walls that offer complete privacy at the front of the plane. It’s big enough to sit with a companion traveler to have your own first-class dining experience in the sky. Lufthansa has also added first-class suites with a particular cabin designed just for couples. It might not come close to Etihad’s The Residence ...

What will the future of jobs be like? 動画レッスン：どうなる、「仕事の未来」 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH1fFdjzJAw&t=57s   Covid 19 is one of the biggest crises of our time. It has impacted every single one of us, shaken out social systems, and disrupted every sector of our economies. The automation of work combined with the global recession led workers to lose their jobs at an accelerated pace compared to previous years. And this trend is expected to continue. The ongoing shift in the division of labor between humans, machines and algorithms might displace 85 million jobs worldwide in the next 5 years, while 97 million new roles, ones that are more adopted to this new task distribution, may emerge. By 2025, companies expect to displace roughly 6 % of their total workforce, one in two workers will need reskilling, and those remaining in their current roles will need to update 40% of their skills set to adopt to the changing labor market. There is a way to collectively benefi...

  How we're doing on the path to zero emissions 動画レッスン：排出量ゼロへの道のりをどう歩む? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipkPcrNsCv8 I believe that we will be able to avoid a climate disaster. Innovators now have way more funding than ever before. Private companies are making serious climate commitments. Governments are passing advanced climate legislation. As a result, there are a number of clean technologies in development that cover every area of emission. But when I first started working on this issue, emissions were 51 billion tons each year and we are still at that level, and the time is running out. Alongside my belief that we can solve it, it can be difficult to actually contemplate the scale of change required for this energy transition. Of course, we have to invent new ways of doing these things, but it took a hundred years to build a very energy intensive industrial economy. We also need to replace all of that physical infrastructure in a much much shorter period of time. There’s never b...
