So we had a very interesting moment to try to imagine 20 years ahead, and what we can really do and how we can go there. They know how to build a company and to scale it and so on. We have more powerful computers which allow us at the same time to model things, but also to develop new things like new materials, for example. There is a purposeful redirection of finance that is starting to gather speed and gather momentum and become big scale towards clean investments in many, many different ways that are better if people engage in this, not better in the sense of who they are as persons, but more competent for doing this.ΔΆ0 years ago, most of the people who started companies that had to do with sustainability were activists, and now they're entrepreneurs. Today, wind and solar are the cheapest and in some places in the world, that is the cheapest form of electricity generation. We have a range of other technologies, from electric cars to batteries, etc., that come into play. Now we are at this moment where we are starting to get all the tools that are available here. We do that by bringing scientists and designers and activists and investors and the producers to the TED stage into the TED format and disseminating their ideas and creating initiatives and alliances and cooperation around those ideas. We just started about a year and a half ago and it is focusing on climate solutions at scale. My name is Bruno Giussani. I am the Lead Curator of the Countdown Project at the TED Conferences.
