Humanity faces a critical climate crisis, with only about nine years to halve global CO2 emissions by 2030. While digitalization profoundly shapes our lives, its potential role in climate policy for achieving this rapid reduction remains largely unexplored.

Nick Nuttall, International Strategic Communications Director for Earth Day Network and We Don't Have Time, and a UN veteran, emphasizes digitalization's opportunities for sustainable development. He views digital technology as a vital tool against climate change, citing examples from ocean clean-up to renewable energy. However, Nuttall warns against seeing it as a cure-all, stressing that digitalization must be used wisely to be effective.

Nuttall's insights were shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Anna leads Finland's successful initiative against food waste, a story rooted in the nation's unique characteristics. Finland's cold, vast landscape and small population (5.5 million) have cultivated a practical, collaborative society, essential for tackling complex challenges.

Her team unites diverse stakeholders—including the food industry, retailers, and various ministries—to work collectively. Their model encourages voluntary actions focused on profitability and sustainability, while also spreading awareness. The key learning is that effective solutions must reflect food waste's multi-faceted nature.

In this episode, Stephanie Kelton explores Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and its insights into how money and the economy truly function. She challenges common misconceptions surrounding government deficits, often linked to negative outcomes like rising taxes or economic instability.

Kelton questions whether these issues stem from deficits themselves or from governmental decisions. MMT proposes that deficits can be strategically utilized to foster job creation, drive innovation, and advance a regenerative, circular economy.

Chad Frischmann defines "Drawdown" as the point when greenhouse gas concentrations begin to decrease, leading to global cooling and reversing the climate crisis. His team identified existing technologies and practices that, collectively, can achieve this goal. By reframing climate change as a symptom, we can better focus on root causes and solutions. For instance, reducing food waste, responsible for 8% of global emissions, plays a significant role in reaching this pivotal point.

Frischmann, co-author of *Drawdown* and VP of Project Drawdown, works to build a regenerative future. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
