WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EARTHDAY.ORG, together with partners worldwide, today announces the global theme for Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet—a rallying cry for people everywhere to reclaim their voice, their rights, and their future.

Other than limited signs of progress, 2025 was a year marked by extraordinary environmental retrenchment. The current Administration took more than 400 actions ranging from sweeping executive orders to obscure regulatory changes, that are causing irreversible damage to every facet of the global environment. Across the world, environmental safeguards that took generations to defend and create are under relentless attack; stripped away to the benefit of polluters while communities pay the price with their health, livelihoods, and lives. The belief that progress can be secured quietly, through good-faith negotiations alone is no longer a reflection of reality.

Real change requires persistent public pressure that is impossible to ignore.

EARTHDAY.ORG and our partners call on individuals, students, communities, faith groups, elected officials, and organizations worldwide to organize actions on Saturday, April 18, on Earth Day, April 22nd and throughout Earth Week, including:

1. Peaceful demonstrations and marches
2. Voter registration drives
3. Convening town halls with federal, state, and local officials to advance pragmatic pathways for restoring environmental protections, strengthening a clean and competitive green economy, and ensuring safe, affordable, and resilient communities
4. Grassroots organizing to protect environmental laws
5. Teach-ins at schools, universities and communities
6. Community cleanups (streets, parks, rivers, lakes, beaches) and actions to advance the end of plastic pollution
7. Targeted campaigns supporting reforestation, oceans, and ecosystem restoration

People Have Changed History Before

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, people from every walk of life – farmers and ranchers, faith leaders and scientists, health professionals and first responders, students and families, and communities on the front lines of climate disasters – have driven action that prevented countless illnesses and saved millions of lives worldwide.

Economic prosperities and environmental protections are not competing goals. They are on the same path forward. Clean energy and sustainability have already created millions of jobs, lowered costs, and delivered healthier air and water. Governments will delay, corporate interests may distract—but they cannot ignore an organized, determined public.

“All those years ago, in 1970, we were ridiculously confident that we were going to win. We launched a genuine environmental revolution. We proved that an engaged public can be an unstoppable force. It can be again in 2026.”
— Denis Hayes, Organizer of the First Earth Day and Board Chair Emeritus, EARTHDAY.ORG

Join the Movement

Earth Day’s enduring legacy is people working together to shape a livable future, and to never doubt that a dedicated group of people can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. Join us on Saturday, April 18, on Earth Day, April 22nd, and throughout 2026 as we harness our collective power to defend, restore, and advance the progress generations have fought for and achieved.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Starting today at 10 a.m. ET/ 7 a.m. PT, sports fans worldwide can register for the LA28 Ticket Draw* and take their first step toward witnessing Olympic and Paralympic history. On the eve of this milestone moment, LA28 hosted more than 300 Olympians and Paralympians – representing 28 different Games dating back to 1960 – at the historic LA Memorial Coliseum in the interest of continuing to build an athlete-centric Games, marking one of the largest assemblies of Olympic and Paralympic athletes ever gathered outside of competition.

“LA28 is ready to welcome the world and the most spectacular athletes from every corner of it for what will be the greatest Games in history,” said LA28 Chief Executive Officer, Reynold Hoover. “A ticket to the Games is more than just a seat in the stands. It’s an opportunity to witness history and be part of the awe-inspiring moments where we celebrate the best of humanity and experience unity through the power of sport.”

How the Ticketing Process Works: Register Today at Tickets.LA28.org
Registration is the first step for a chance to secure a time slot to purchase tickets. Once registered, participants will be entered into a ticket draw, which will randomly assign time slots to purchase tickets throughout multiple future ticket drops.

Here are the key details of the ticketing process:

• Starting today, January 14 (10 a.m. EST / 7 a.m. PST), through March 18, fans around the world can register for the LA28 Ticket Draw and the opportunity to be selected for a time slot when Olympic tickets go on sale.
• Time slots to purchase during Drop 1 will run from April 9 to April 19, 2026.
• Fans will be notified by email from March 31 to April 7, 2026 if they’ve been assigned a time slot.
• There will be rolling ticket drops starting in April 2026. Fans are encouraged to register today for the best choice of tickets and events, as capacity may be filled or limited in subsequent drops. Paralympic tickets will go on sale in 2027.
• Fans only need to register once to be entered for future ticket draws and Paralympic draws once tickets for this event go on sale later in 2027. Those not selected for the first drop will automatically be entered into future draws.
• Anyone who wants access to tickets – whether for one sport or multiple events – will need to register for the LA28 Ticket Draw.
• If registrants selected for a time slot do not purchase the maximum amount of tickets allotted for the Olympic Games (12 per person) during that slot, they will automatically be entered into subsequent ticket draws.
• Tickets to the Opening and Closing Ceremony will be available in Drop 1.
• Tickets start at $28, and details on pricing for all categories will be available when Drop 1 opens in April 2026.

Introducing the LA & OKC Locals Presale*
The Locals Presale runs from April 2 to April 6, 2026 before Drop 1 opens on April 9. Residents who register for the ticket draw with billing postal codes in the following Southern California and Oklahoma counties will automatically be entered into the draw for the presale and will have a chance to secure a time slot during a special early-access window prior to tickets going on sale to the general public: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, San Bernardino, Oklahoma, Canadian and Cleveland.

The LA28 ticket process will be powered by LA28’s Official Ticketing Service Provider AXS and EVENTIM. In addition to individual tickets, curated ticket-inclusive hospitality experiences and packages from On Location will also go on sale in 2026. 

Options for Everyone
LA28 is committed to ensuring that tickets to the Games are accessible to everyone, especially for those in the Los Angeles community. To achieve this goal, LA28 is ensuring fans have a wide array of ticket options — from single tickets that will start at $28 to premium hospitality experiences — to witness the Games firsthand. This includes at least one million tickets priced at $28 and a third of tickets priced under $100.

In addition, LA28 launched a fundraising effort in November in which local sports teams, philanthropists and partners will contribute donations to fund free tickets that will go directly into the hands of local organizations to distribute within their communities.

To register for the LA28 Ticket Draw, visit Tickets.LA28.org.

In recognition of Visa’s long-standing partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Visa is the Official Way to Pay.

ABOUT THE LA28 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES
LA28 will bring the Olympic and Paralympic Games to Los Angeles in 2028, uniting more than 15,000 of the world’s greatest athletes in a celebration of sport, culture and human potential. Set against a diverse collection of venues only Southern California can deliver, from the Pacific Ocean to Hollywood stages to world-class arenas, Los Angeles will become the third city ever to host three Olympic Games, following 1932 and 1984, and will also host its first ever Paralympic Games. The LA28 Games will celebrate historic milestones including becoming the first Olympic Games in history to feature more women athletes than men, the debut of new Olympic and Paralympic sports and becoming the first Games since 1948 to not build any new permanent infrastructure. Operating as an independently funded, non-profit organization, LA28 has built a strong foundation of successful commercial partnerships alongside licensing, hospitality, ticketing and with the support of the International Olympic Committee.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Toku Ltd. (“Toku” or the “Company“), a Singapore-incorporated AI-powered customer experience (CX) platform, today registered its offer document (the “Offer Document“) in connection with the proposed initial public offering (the “IPO“) and listing of its ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the Catalist Board (“Catalist“) of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading (“SGX-ST“).^[1]

PrimePartners Corporate Finance Pte. Ltd. is the Sponsor, Issue Manager, Underwriter and Co-Placement Agent for the IPO, while CGS International Securities Singapore Pte. Ltd. is the Co-Placement Agent.

The Company has received indications of interest from Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Lion Global Investors Limited (as investment manager for and on behalf of its clients), Amova Asset Management Asia, Ginko-AGT Global Growth Fund and pre-IPO investors, namely Asdew Acquisitions Pte Ltd, ICH Synergrowth Fund and Mr Han Seng Juan to participate in the offering. Mrs Lim Hwee Hua is the Non-Independent, Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of the Company.

Toku provides enterprise customers with a comprehensive 360° customer experience (CX) platform to seamlessly orchestrate all conversations across voice, chat, email and other digital channels, while navigating complex regulatory, linguistic and infrastructure requirements. 

Building AI-Powered Solutions for Complex and Fragmented Markets

Incorporated in Singapore in December 2017, Toku develops technology specifically designed for complex and fragmented markets. Unlike global incumbents who typically prioritise standardised solutions deployed uniformly across all markets, Toku differentiates through deep telecommunications expertise, localised AI, and compliance-driven delivery. Toku’s products and solutions suite includes transcription, summarisation, sentiment analysis, and conversation analytics, which deliver high accuracy in multilingual environments such as those across APAC. The end-to-end platform also integrates conversational AI along with Agentic AI for reasoning, multi-step autonomy, and API-driven actions, enabling enterprises to manage customer interactions securely and at scale across channels and jurisdictions.

“The way enterprises manage customer engagement is undergoing a fundamental shift. What were once separate systems for operations, sales, and marketing interactions are now converging into unified platforms, with AI acting as an accelerant,” said Thomas Laboulle, Founder and CEO of Toku. “This shift is particularly significant in regions like Asia Pacific, where local complexity has historically limited the effectiveness of global incumbents. Toku is built to capture this opportunity. We combine cloud communications expertise with AI designed specifically for markets with multiple languages and diverse regulatory environments.”

The platform serves enterprise clients across diverse industries including financial services, healthcare and shared economy services as well as government agencies, with operations spanning 34 countries in Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa.

The company controls its entire technology and solution delivery stack, from connectivity infrastructure through to AI applications and professional services implementation, reducing reliance on third-party providers and enabling faster innovation cycles.

Addressing a Growing Market

According to Frost & Sullivan, the global contact centre solutions market is projected to reach US$21.58 billion in revenue by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 12.8% from US$10.52 billion in revenue in 2024. In Asia Pacific specifically, Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) revenue is expected to grow at 13.6% CAGR from 2025 to 2030.

Mr Laboulle added: “As enterprises increasingly prioritise intelligent, compliant customer engagement, the market opportunity continues to expand. This listing enables us to accelerate investment in AI, grow our partner ecosystem, and pursue strategic acquisitions. We welcome new shareholders to join us as we capitalise this significant growth opportunity.”

Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman of Toku, said: “With data sovereignty and responsible AI becoming strategic priorities across both public and private sectors, Toku is well-positioned to meet the region’s growing demand for trusted, compliant citizen and customer engagement. I am pleased to support a homegrown company building for these realities.”

The Invitation

The Invitation is in respect of 65,000,000 Invitation Shares, comprising of 2,000,000 Public Offer Shares at S$0.25 per share and 63,000,000 Placement Shares at S$0.25 per share. The offer period opens on 14 January 2026 immediately upon registration of the Offer Document and closes on 20 January 2026, 12:00 noon SGT.

Use of Proceeds

The Company expects to allocate a portion of the proceeds towards accelerating the expansion of its AI-powered 360° CX platform, including investments in proprietary technology development, research and development initiatives, talent acquisition, channel partner ecosystem development, and expansion into strategic markets across APAC, LATAM, MENA and Europe.

In addition, part of the proceeds will be set aside as a cash reserve to strengthen the Company’s financial position, enhance liquidity, and ensure sufficient working capital to support ongoing operational requirements.

The Company also expects to deploy a portion of the proceeds towards potential strategic acquisitions, partnerships and general corporate purposes, in line with its broader growth and market expansion strategy.

A portion of the proceeds will further be used for the repayment of shareholders’ loans.

Business Strategies and Future Plans

Toku plans to accelerate growth through a partner-led go-to-market model designed for scale, continued investment in its AI capabilities, and geographic expansion into the Middle East, Europe and North America. The Company is also pursuing strategic acquisitions that complement its technology portfolio or accelerate entry into new markets.

With deep roots in the APAC region and an expanding global footprint, Toku’s modular 360° CX Platform orchestrates customer interactions across voice, chat, email and digital channels while managing regulatory, linguistic and infrastructure complexity at scale.

DUBLIN, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced a $1 billion expansion of its proprietary Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program (DCLP), increasing total capacity to $2.5 billion. The expansion responds to accelerating global investment in cloud computing, artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure and increasing complexity of risks across the data center lifecycle.  

First introduced in 2025, DCLP is a multi-line insurance solution designed to support data center projects from construction through ongoing operations. The program brings together traditionally fragmented risk classes into a single coordinated insurance solution. By integrating construction, cyber, cargo and operational risks, DCLP helps clients secure capacity at scale, reduce friction and execute projects more efficiently.

“Managing risk throughout the data center lifecycle is a strategic imperative – these platforms drive innovation, connectivity and economic growth,” said Greg Case, president and CEO of Aon. “As these facilities become more critical and complex, building resilience into their infrastructure is essential for the broader business ecosystem. Aon is committed to helping clients anticipate risks, strengthen operational continuity and invest in the future of digital infrastructure with confidence.”

The expanded DCLP is designed to support investors, developers and operators as data centers grow larger, more capital-intensive and more operationally complex. By integrating insurance capacity with risk engineering and analytics, the program helps clients anticipate risk, demonstrate resilience to stakeholders and support long term performance.

“When disruptions occur, the financial and operational consequences can be significant and ripple well beyond a single facility, affecting customers, supply chains and broader business operations,” said Joe Peiser, CEO of Commercial Risk for Aon. “By expanding the capacity of DCLP, we are helping clients manage risk across the full lifecycle of a data center – from build-out to steady state operations, while supporting faster, more certain execution.”

Key Features of the Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program include:

• Up to $2.5 billion in coverage for Construction All Risks, Delay in Start-Up (DSU) and Operational Property Damage/Business Interruption.
• Cyber, Cyber Property Damage and Tech E&O coverage up to $400M, including DSU (damage and non-damage), business interruption and SLA violations.
• Third-party liability coverage up to $100 million (excluding U.S. exposures).
• Project cargo and transport insurance up to $500 million.
• Integrated risk engineering and cyber impact modelling available through Aon’s Global Risk Consulting team.

This expansion of the DCLP builds upon Aon’s broader strategy to scale innovative Risk Capital solutions for digital infrastructure. Late last year, Aon also announced the renewal of its Client Treaty — a proprietary follow-on facility designed to provide broad, multi-line coverage for complex risks — with enhanced terms that include protection for extended construction periods. This renewal reflects Aon’s commitment to helping clients manage the unique challenges of large-scale technology projects, ensuring resilience from initial build through operational phases.
