ENERGY
How do we divorce our whole population from fossil fuels when generating energy? How do we solve the challenging questions of electricity storage, transmission and management?
SECTORS
The findings of scientific research continue to suggest that to avoid the climate crisis we require a large-scale shift in social behaviour, policy-making, business models as well as technology. Due to the interconnectedness of our world, such a transformation must happen in all sectors, industries and other areas of human activity.
In its 2018 special report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calls for “rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land, urban and infrastructure (including transport and buildings), and industrial systems.”
The good news is that many of the means to achieve the necessary transformation already exist.

Each of the following sectors has displayed a great capacity for the emergence and development of climate solutions, proving a change is possible now.
Reduce Sources
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
How do we sustain our nutritional demands without burdening the ecosystems and exhausting the soil? How can we create new innovations and forever step away from greenhouse gases emitted by forestry and farming?
Reduce Sources
Industry
How can our industries become more efficient while less dependent on fossil fuels at the same time? How can we break from a linear lifecycle of goods and develop materials that enhance a circular economy?
Reduce Sources
Transportation
How can we turn to environmentally-conscious fuels instead of petroleum but keep enjoying the advantages of easy travel? How much more do we need to advance our technology to create transportation systems and vehicles that don’t produce emissions?
Reduce Sources
Buildings
How can we make construction and buildings themselves more efficient and decrease their dependency on non-renewable energy sources? How can we recycle construction waste and promote alternative construction materials?
Support Sinks
air & environment
How can we sustain the needs of our society without emitting pollutants into the air and endangering human health? How far does heavy industry, agriculture and transportation have to come to stop contributing to the warming effect of greenhouse gases?
Support Sinks
WATER
How do the practices of marine industries need to change so that we actively protect the oceanic fauna and flora? How can urban areas and heavy industries manage their water waste so that they stop threatening local ecosystems?
Better Efficiency
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
How can we utilize existing technologies and incentivize the creation of novel ones to alleviate stress on our ecosystems? How groundbreaking is monitoring and data analysis in identifying concrete and urgent issues in our environment?
Improve Society
social inclusion & gender equality
How can policy-makers establish climate action strategies that do not put pressure on certain social groups? How can communities provide their unique knowledge and gain an active role in finding new solutions?
