Theme: TEDxTinHau Countdown

TEDxTinHau is excited to be bringing Countdown, a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, to Hong Kong. TEDxTinHau Countdown to identify the bold solutions that can be activated when people break out of their silos and rise to the challenge. Join us on Saturday, October 17th 2020 at The Fringe Club, Hong Kong

The ongoing health and economic crises are reminding us of an important fact: we’re all part of the same fragile system, dependent on nature and one another.
To make progress on climate action we need to collaborate on a global scale, and every community has an important role to play.
