Today I am mourning the loss of Prince Philip, someone I worked with for nearly four decades and who was my friend. In that time, I watched him become the inspiration for the largest civil society environmental movement in the world-that of the world s religions.
He was also a man who had a special affection for one of the greatest and most ecological of all religions-Daoism. One of the very last public events he did before he retired at the age of 95 was to welcome the senior leadership of the Chinese Taoist Association to a meeting at Windsor Castle to celebrate the launch of a major eight-year plan by the Taoists to increase their activities to protect nature.

Melbourne (13 APRIL 2021): In response to the economic, societal and employment challenges that the world faced, and primarily Victoria in Australia in 2020, YBF partnered with the Victorian Government to launch the YBF Startup Immersion Program (SIP)––a first-of-its-kind pilot program in Australia aimed at upskilling experienced corporate professionals with entrepreneurial roles and capabilities.
At the time of launch in October 2020, the program was overwhelmed with applications––with over 500,000 people having been displaced from their jobs as a result of the pandemic in Victoria [source: IBISWorld] and a further three million Australian workers looking for a post-COVID-19 career change [source: ING Future Focus Report].
