Climate change is among the most urgent issues of our time. 2011-2020 was the Earth's warmest decade in recorded history by most estimates. Up to one million species are at risk of extinction due to climate change. Tens of millions will be displaced from their homes because of it. The Climate Action Tracker anticipates a 4 degrees increase in global temperatures by 2100 if we keep at our current trajectories. The delicate balance that we have on Earth is at risk.
So, what do we do about it? The need for action & innovation is more urgent than ever. And to make headway in addressing the problem, it will not be a "magic bullet" that solves everything, rather the efforts of engineers, artists, coders, educators, politicians, business-people & others coordinating with a variety of difference solutions to make a difference.
The challenge: Can you create the next big solution to our climate change dilemma?
