TEDx Countdown: We Can Change Climate Change

Global problems require global solutions—and climate change is one of the largest challenges our world has ever faced.

This October, communities from all around the world are coming together on 10.10.2020 to establish a global action plan of climate solutions. CFI Canada is proud to present a vision of this action plan through a TEDx virtual discussion called Countdown: a worldwide call for scientists, activists, entrepreneurs, executives, investors, artists, authors and government officials to present the solutions they have to address climate change. On October 10th, CFI will host three speakers bringing crucial messages for this cause.

Marc Schaus, author of Our Livable World: Creating the Clean Earth of Tomorrow, will speak about the vast new scientific and technological advancements occurring around the world furthering state-of-the-art clean energy options. David R. Boyd, author of The Rights of Nature and UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and the environment, will speak from an experience of international legal initiatives focusing on environmental action at the highest levels. And finally, CFI Canada's keynote speaker for Countdown: MIT-trained physicist and Harvard professor David Keith, founder and chief scientist at Carbon Engineering here in Canada—a now world-famous carbon capture company specializing in the direct air capture of CO2. Together, they present an account of the latest scientific, technological and legal achievements necessary in our fight to stop global warming and re-balance our changing climate.
