WHAT

A TEDx event including short talks and TED Talk videos addressing a multiplicity of issues regarding global development and sustainability. If our history has been a curve of accelerating change, as social entrepreneur Buckminster Fuller suggests, we stand at the base of a very steep slope, and the actions we take today will have a profound influence on where that slope leads us and future generations. Our TEDx event will gather leaders from various sectors to discuss how the international community can harness this rapid acceleration of change to address our most pressing issues, from remaining human-rights violations, to climate change, to poverty.
