TEDx & Countdown
Countdown is a bold, global movement to find ways to rapidly shift to a world with net zero greenhouse emissions and tackle the climate crisis. Communities, schools, universities, businesses, nonprofits, and city representative offices are invited to participate. Understanding that now is the time to take back power on climate, TED works with incredible networks to ignite ideas, showcase solutions, and drive action locally.
TEDx organizers may engage in community outreach and education, such as organizing workshops, panel discussions, and interactive sessions to encourage dialogue, collaboration, and engagement on climate-related issues. Furthermore, TEDx events may promote advocacy and policy discussions to drive systemic changes and support efforts to combat climate change at local, regional, and global levels.
By leveraging the TEDx platform, organizers can facilitate meaningful conversations, foster connections, and promote actionable solutions to tackle the climate crisis and create a more sustainable future.
