Over two days on October 10th and 11th TEDxSeattle will join with communities around the world to present COUNTDOWN – five curated sessions to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, turning ideas into action.  The goal is to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 in a race to a zero-carbon world – a world that is safer, cleaner, and more equitable for everyone.

Get connected to local organizations working to fight climate change and find out how you can get involved.
