In support of the UN Youth Climate Summit, the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) hosted interactive games for young climate leaders on September 22, 2019, in New York City. The event explored complex decisions surrounding the deployment of climate-altering technologies to address global heating.

Climate Interactive facilitated a "Model-UN-like" negotiating game, utilizing the En-roads Climate Solutions Simulation. This powerful tool allowed participants to interactively explore the combined effects of various policies and technologies on atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperatures.

LEGO produces millions of plastic bricks annually, a toy cherished across generations. Despite its inherent durability, the company aims for even greater environmental friendliness by 2030.

LEGO produces millions of plastic bricks annually, a toy cherished across generations. Despite its inherent durability, the company aims for even greater environmental friendliness by 2030. Nelleke, a chemical engineer, leads this ambitious goal.

Nelleke's career began in Rotterdam, instilling a "stop talking, start working" ethos. After a PhD from TU Delft, she gained extensive experience in chemical process design in the US and at Avantium Technologies in Amsterdam. Her diverse background honed her skills in innovation and collaboration within the chemical industry.

In 2014, Nelleke joined The LEGO Group, a dream job where she and her team develop sustainable materials for both current and future LEGO bricks. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Plastic offset is an emerging environmental paradigm designed to combat global plastic pollution. It aims to fund underfunded waste management social enterprises in the developing world, which offer ethical solutions but struggle to scale.

Inspired by carbon credits, plastic offset provides a transformative funding mechanism to accelerate a circular economy. Achieving meaningful impact is challenging, given the complex interplay of consumer responsibility and producer accountability, but entirely possible.

This initiative will explore local needs and global systems governing waste, from Mumbai to New York.

In his talk, David Wallace-Wells discusses his book, "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming," which distills complex climate science into human-scale impacts. He explores how to address climate change without succumbing to despair and the potential of technology for both mitigation and adaptation solutions.

Wallace-Wells, deputy editor of New York Magazine, expanded his 2017 article into this full-length work. The book details the effects of climate change on water, food, oceans, and more, guiding readers to understand societal impacts and inspiring action to prevent the worst outcomes.

Jonathan Safran Foer argues that addressing climate change requires examining our dietary habits, particularly reducing animal-centric foods. He questions whether societies can overcome the desire for comfort to make necessary changes. Even industry leaders like Google are adopting "veggie-forward" approaches by reducing meat consumption.

This raises a key question: is a purist or effective approach better for global food habits? Join Jonathan Safran Foer, author of *Eating Animals* and *We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast*, and Helene York (ISS Guckenheimer) for a discussion on the power of individual choices and collective action in tackling climate change.

This talk addresses the climate crisis, urging a re-evaluation of our legal and moral obligations to Earth within the Anthropocene epoch. It advocates for a fundamental shift in how we view ourselves, development, freedom, and comfort, presenting a solution for these uncertain times.

Courtney, a thought leader, pioneers a climate crisis solution specifically for South Africa. She has engaged in global issues at the United Nations and holds a Bachelor of Social Sciences and an LLB from UCT, currently pursuing a Master's degree.

Kris Gasteratos, founder of the Cellular Agriculture Society (CAS) and author of "90 Reasons," recently met with Suzette Bishop at Google NY. Their discussion focused on lab-grown meat, cellular agriculture, and Project CMF.

Project CMF (Cell-based Meat Facility) is a CAS design initiative conceptualizing New York's meat production by 2040, where animal cells are farmed instead of animals. Over a dozen leading cell-based meat scientists were consulted to create an ambitious yet realistic vision. Kris Gasteratos is the Lead Concept Designer, with Mihai Iacubovschi as Lead Visual Designer.

Julia Blocher, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and President of the International Youth Federation (IYF), explores the global impacts of climate change and human responses. She illustrates how climate events drive migration while highlighting young people making real change.

With a decade of experience in climate change and human movement, Blocher believes youth are pivotal in solving global challenges like climate change and migration. Her work, focusing on regions like East Africa and island nations, underscores the potential of this new generation to lead towards a just, peaceful, and inclusive future.
