Unlawful by Design: Exposing the Human Rights Costs of Generative AI – publicatie
In het rapport ‘Unlawful by Design: Exposing the Human Rights Costs of Generative AI‘ documenteert Amnesty International ernstige risico’s bij het grootschalig ‘scrapen’ (automatisch gegevens van internet halen) en verwerken van data.
De gegevens worden gebruikt om AI-systemen te bouwen en te trainen. Het gaat daarbij om schendingen van het recht op privacy, nadelige gevolgen voor het milieu en risico’s voor kwetsbare gemeenschappen. Bedrijven verzamelen enorme hoeveelheden online gegevens zonder onze toestemming. Ze gebruiken deze data om generatieve kunstmatige intelligentie (GenAI) te bouwen. Deze aanpak maakt een grootschalige inbreuk op onze privacy mogelijk. Hierdoor zijn deze systemen van meet af aan onrechtmatig, stelt Amnesty International in het onderzoek. Amnesty International onderzocht de modellen die ten grondslag liggen aan enkele van de populairste, openbaar beschikbare, generatieve AI-tools, waaronder GPT 3 van Open AI, Gemini van Google, Llama van Meta, DeepSeek en tools van Midjourney en Stable Diffusion.

Sprouts Film Festival 2026
The team behind Sprouts has developed a recurring platform for fictional ecocinema and socially critical debut films. We have steadily grown into an interdisciplinary film festival, now present across six venues in three of Amsterdam’s city districts: Studio/K, Kriterion, De Uitkijk, Droog, MidWest, and QRU.
While a five-year anniversary calls for celebration, each day the team behind Sprouts is reminded of why they felt the need for a festival like Sprouts in the first place. Autocrats, tech bros, and far-right factions continue to wreak havoc on our planet, disrupting ecosystems and undermining international law and human dignity. This is why the team cherish the brave filmmakers of our 2026 edition so deeply: they defy systems to share bold, uncompromising visions. The team also support the shaping of a new generation of green storytellers by hosting the very first Sprouts Eco Shorts Pitch and Industry Day. From 1 – 7 June 2026, focussing on bringing people together and inspiring one another to resist. Whether by visiting the free Eco Expo, joining community dinners, attending outdoor screenings, supporting our fundraiser for Sudan, or simply watching a film together.

#SaveOurOcean #WorldOceansDay / Wereld Oceanen Dag 2026
World Ocean Day (WOD) is an international day that takes place annually on June 8, the concept was originally proposed in 1992 by Canada’s International Centre for Ocean Development (ICOD) and the Ocean Institute of Canada (OIC) at the Earth Summit – UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
“World Oceans Day” was officially recognized by the United Nations in 2008. The international day supports the implementation of worldwide Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fosters public interest in the protection of the ocean and the sustainable management of its resources. World Oceans Day is observed by all UN member states.World Oceans Day reminds every one of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. They are the lungs of our Planet and a major source of food and medicine and a critical part of the biosphere. The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world’s oceans. Hosted by the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea of the Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations, in partnership with the non-profit organization Oceanic Global, this year’s annual program will celebrate the wonders of the ocean as a source of life that supports humanity and all other organisms on Earth. The ocean covers over 70% of the planet. It is our life source, supporting humanity’s sustenance and that of every other organism on earth. The ocean produces at least 50% of the planet’s oxygen, it is home to most of earth’s biodiversity, and is the main source of protein for more than a billion people around the world. Not to mention, the ocean is key to our economy with an estimated 40 million people being employed by ocean-based industries by 2030. Even though all its benefits, the ocean is now in need of support. With 90% of big fish populations depleted, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed, we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished. We need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean that no longer depletes its bounty but instead restores its vibrancy and brings it new life. “Reimagine”, the theme of World Oceans Day 2026, invites us to change the way we see and care for the ocean. For too long, we have viewed it as something distant, when in fact it is part of our daily lives: the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the climate balance that makes our existence possible. Let’s stop being mere beneficiaries of its resources and let’s become true guardians of its future.

#WorldOtterDay / Wereld Otter Dag 2026
World Otter Day takes place on the last Wednesday in May each year. The day was established by IOSF to help draw attention to otters, celebrate them, and raise awareness and support for their conservation globally.
The aim is to put otters on the map, and at the forefront of people’s mind. It focuses on raising awareness about how important otters are and also highlights the threats that they face. There are certain issues faced by otters that some people are largely unaware of, such as the huge trade in these animals for pets and fur. World Otter Day addresses this.

Heat Action Day 2026
Heat Action Day op 2 juni 2026 is een initiatief van het Rode Kruis, in Nederland is Klimaatverbond Nederland de officiële partner.
Hitte is het meest urgente en dodelijkste klimaatrisico van Nederland, hittegolven komen steeds vaker voor en duren langer. Ouderen, jonge kinderen en mensen met een kwetsbare gezondheid lopen hierbij het grootste risico. Hitte is niet alleen een probleem in onze steden – ook in versteende wijken in kleinere gemeenten hebben mensen last van hitte. Meer dan de helft van alle Nederlanders woont in een huis dat te veel dreigt op te warmen in de zomer. Hitte hoeft geen groot probleem te worden. Gelukkig zijn veel hittemaatregelen relatief simpel, en gebeurt er al veel: gemeenten, provincies, woningcorporaties, gezondheidsorganisaties en kennisinstellingen werken hard aan oplossingen. Maar er is meer nodig. Daarom is Heat Action Day jaarlijks dé dag om samen stil te staan bij het belang van de aanpak van hittestress. Op deze dag brengen organisaties hun hitte-activiteiten onder de aandacht en stellen ze ‘hete kwesties’ aan de orde.
