TED's Countdown Featuring Matt Kenyon

Countdown is a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, turning ideas into action.

Countdown is TED’s global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, turning ideas into action. Together, we worked with a group of TED Fellows artists to create 10 public art pieces in 10 cities around the world, to kick-off on 10.10.2020.

The goal – to raise awareness for Countdown, while translating key climate issues in ways that spur imaginations and trigger participation. The selected works convey that we can change climate change, show that ‘it’s urgent, but doable’, and have the potential to make people step up and participate in building a better future.

Matt Kenyon is a TED fellow and this week he will be participating in TED’s Countdown and will include his art works, TIDE and Cloud. It is being live streamed on TED youtube channel this Saturday, October, 10, 2020.

More than 50 speakers in five curated sessions that combine TED's signature blend of actionable and research-backed ideas, cutting-edge science, and moments of wonder and inspiration.
