Countdown has positioned itself as a global initiative to promote and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, by transforming ideas into tangible action. As part of this dynamic, the TEDxBrussels Countdown edition brings together local and international players, all committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to a more sustainable economy.
The event takes place in the evocative setting of the Dinosaur Gallery at Institute of Natural Sciences, a symbolic place that serves as a reminder of the consequences of drastic changes on the planet. Participants and speakers, including young people, scientists, activists and committed citizens, meet to exchange innovative ideas on resilience in the face of crisis, making sustainability accessible to all, and developing concrete solutions to the environmental impacts of human activity.
Drawing on videos from the TED Summit Countdown 2021 and contributions from local speakers, this event explores ways to reinitialize our urban, economic and social systems. This is not simply a theoretical discussion, but a call to action, inviting each participant to consider how, individually and collectively, we can contribute to a more liveable and sustainable future for Brussels and beyond.
Through these exchanges, TEDxBrussels Countdown seeks to build a new climate narrative, where each idea becomes a brick in the construction of a regenerative economy, adapted to today's challenges. This event is aimed at all those who are determined to understand and act on the climate crisis, particularly in the urban context of Brussels, and who want to play an active part in the transformation needed for a sustainable future.
