TEDxBoston | Thirteen-year-old Una Joy Hornick challenges societal apathy and climate anxiety among youth by advocating for an eco-civics curriculum, empowering students through debate, research, and data evaluation to actively participate in democratic processes and combat climate change. Her journey from organizing a recycling club to promoting meaningful environmental action reflects her dedication to real change. https://lnkd.in/eHp3hJUR

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to watch a TEDxBoston talk featuring Asegun Henry introduced to me by John Werner. Asegun, an MIT professor and a visionary in the field of energy technology, presented his groundbreaking work in developing sustainable energy solutions. His invention, which includes the ‘Sun in a Box’ thermal battery concept, is not just an impressive scientific feat but also a source of inspiration for me. It reminds us that what once seemed like science fiction can indeed become reality with innovation and persistence. Watching Asegun’s journey and achievements motivates me to think bigger and push the boundaries of what’s possible. https://lnkd.in/e6uvVtnK

Cows burp. It's a real problem. That's because cow burps emit methane, a greenhouse gas that warms the planet more than 80x faster than CO2. So make cows burp less--easy, right? Not exactly, because what makes the cows burp varies constantly. This startup is using AI to consistently measure and optimize cow microbiomes, which reduces methane and increases milk production. Win, win! Dr. Yaniv Altshuler is an experienced entrepreneur and an industry-leading expert on Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis. Yaniv has published three books on the theory and applications of Artificial Intelligence, over 70 scientific papers, and filed 17 patents. His research has been covered by Harvard Business Review, Financial Times, Davos World Economic Forum, Communications of the ACM, IEEE Spectrum, and others. After receiving his PhD in Computer Science, Yaniv worked with MIT Prof. Alex "Sandy" Pentland on the development of the new field of Social Physics. Over the past decade Yaniv used his expertise to advise leading financial institutes and government agencies worldwide. He is Founder and CEO of Metha.ai, a company applying AI for climate change mitigation in agri-food by reducing Methane emissions from cow burps. TEDxBoston #methane #ai #agriculture

The world is racing to reduce CO2 emissions and achieve net-zero goals by 2050, but what about methane, a potent greenhouse gas that warms the planet faster than CO2 in the short term. Tod Hynes, an expert in climate and clean energy, believes that a global prize could accelerate the search for solutions, just as it has for other complex engineering challenges. He has extensive experience in this field, having co-founded organizations, raised over $500 million, and mentored students launching climate and energy companies through MIT.

Excited to begin to share the talks from last month's #planetarystewardship event. Check out Irina Gerry's talk on creating real dairy without the cows. 🐄 > 🛩 Did you know raising dairy cows contributes more emissions than the entire aviation sector? 🐄 > 🌎 And requires the land area equivalent to North + South America combined?? 🧀 = 💛 But who wants to live in a world without cheese?

Juan Enriquez - shares a playbook on how to immediately build the planetary climate emergency response system.
