FormatCountdown
Join us for TEDxWukangRd's Countdown event, part of TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis . We have invited 10 speakers—experts and practitioners in climate science, natural ecosystems, materials innovation, and urban sustainability—to explore what we as individuals can do to live more comfortably and sustainably in a warming world . Through their talks, we will examine how everyday choices can reshape our relationship with the environment, and how community resilience begins with personal action. Event Details Date: July 26, 2026 Time: 14:30 – 17:30 Venue: West Bund Central, Xuhui District, Shanghai Theme: "热浪之下·Stay Cool" — Focusing on both the physical "high temperatures" and the mental "restlessness" of our era, we aim to move the climate conversation from grand slogans to everyday life, anchoring it in individual choices, small actions, and community warmth.
