"Gone are the days when we can pretend that our technologies will work in the face of a military cyberattack. Securing our systems will make everything we buy more expensive—maybe a lot more expensive. But the alternative is no longer viable," write Bruce Schneier and Tarah Wheeler.

Governments around the world have acknowledged that education plays an important role in the fight against climate change, but climate literacy is not always a major priority in schools. Kathleen Rogers and Rebecca Winthrop explain why there may be a shift this year.
