Ms. Lia Nicholson discusses wealth creation as a top priority in Africa, noting that historical development was carbon-intensive. Amid global net-zero targets, she outlines three low-carbon development scenarios for Sub-Saharan Africa: jobs-for-emissions, clean industrialization, and leapfrogging to a services economy.

Nicholson is optimistic that 8 billion people can live sustainably. She advises governments and companies on environmental policy, currently supporting four West African cities with C40 to develop climate action plans for resilience and net-zero emissions. A Yale and Scripps alumna and award recipient, her insights were shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Jakarta's peak hour traffic creates stress for both motorists and pedestrians, with sidewalks often misused by motorcycles and vendors, endangering those on foot. Alfred Sitorus, an avid cyclist and co-founder of the Jakarta Pedestrian Coalition, discusses efforts to protect pedestrian spaces.

Established in 2011, the coalition arose from the question, 'who does the sidewalk actually belong to?' Their goal is to return sidewalks to their rightful owners through campaigns like 'sidewalk sightseeing,' advocating for National Pedestrian Day, and conducting social audits to ensure public facility quality.

Hydrogen concepts are crucial for the North West UK's decarbonisation efforts. A key project in Cheshire involves converting two refuse trucks and an operational vehicle to fuel cells, supported by a hydrogen refuelling station in Middlewich.

Lily Bernadet from Storengy UK, an ENGIE company, is central to these initiatives. ENGIE aims to be a major player in renewable hydrogen, developing solutions from carbon-free power generation to end uses like mobility, industry, and energy storage. Storengy UK partners locally to advance projects across this entire value chain. This information was presented at a TEDx event.
