About this Event

TEDxCountdown was a global event initiated by TED, aiming to promote practical actions through the exchange of ideas, advocating and accelerating solutions to the climate crisis. Civic Exchange has one of the three local branch licenses in Hong Kong.

Through a series of video lectures, panel discussions and case studies, TEDxCivic Exchange introduced community leaders in the Hong Kong climate movement, hoping to become a platform for policy makers, businesses, and civil society to meet and initiate Hong Kong’s move towards low carbon. Our theme was “Our Time Is Now for Climate Action”, as we must start a COUNTDOWN for a better future.

 

Mission statement – ​​#OURTIMEISNOW

The IPCC has urged we not exceed 1.5°C of warming above pre-industrial levels globally. As of 2019, we are at 1.1 degrees. We need a green and just transition for our society, and we need it now. ​Therefore, we need a collective vision for a green recovery and ambitious action to achieve this in HK and beyond. ​
