We are thrilled to announce the first 2021 Edition of TEDx Archivorum, the fourth event of a virtual series of talks where international guests will join the Global Countdown to fight climate change together!
Countdown is an attempt to bring together anyone who wants to better understand or do something about the single biggest crisis we face: climate change.
Despite the pandemic’s harmful economic and social effects, our climate crisis has not lost its urgency. It is our obligation to engage on a path that does not bring us back to "normal" ("normal" is what got us here) but that projects us towards something "better”.
The January edition of TEDx Archivorum will take place on the 14th of January from 3 pm to 6.45 pm (CET) on Zoom.
We are proud to present you some truly exceptional guests joining us. All of them are profoundly committed to mitigating climate change, implementing sustainability; always striving to achieve significant & tangible changes in the world:
Emilio Sempris
