#JoinTheCountdown
Introducing: COUNTDOWN by TEDxJakarta
The presence of the current ongoing health and economic crises reminds us of an important fact that we’re all part of the same fragile system, where we depend on nature and another. Having our eyes set to the future, we are required to build forward and emerge more sustainable and resilient efforts more than before.
Countdown is a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, turning ideas into action. Our goal is to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 in the race to a zero-carbon world – a world that is safer, cleaner and fairer for everyone.
Countdown invites collaboration from every organization, company, city and nation and from citizens everywhere. It is a movement open to everyone – and everyone has a vital role to play.
We can change climate change. Join us and together we can actualize a safer, cleaner, and fairer future.
