No Internet for a year: Why Equatorial Guinea has kept Annobón island offline

For 12 months, the people of Annobón, an island province of Equatorial Guinea, have lived in a digital blackout - cut off from the world with no explanation. Why would a government deliberately silence its own citizens? In this episode of Somewhere on Earth, we speak with Tutu Alicante (EG Justice) and Felicia Anthonio (Access Now) about the shocking reality of one of the world’s longest-running internet shutdowns. Digital rights groups are now demanding action - but will the world listen?

From oil giant to climate ally? How Petrobras is unlocking emissions data for the world

What if the key to fighting climate change wasn’t just more data - but making it accessible to everyone? In a groundbreaking partnership, Brazil’s Petrobras and tech hub CESAR have transformed dense emissions reports into an interactive public dashboard tracking G20 nations’ climate progress. Could making this complex scientific data easily accessible and understandable bring real change?
