Maintaining human well-being across generations is a core sustainability challenge, intrinsically linked to clean air and climate change. Pollutants from sources like power plants and vehicles degrade air quality and drive climate change, which further exacerbates air quality issues. Addressing both simultaneously, with a people-centered approach, is crucial for present and future health.

Noelle Eckley Selin, an MIT Associate Professor, specializes in these interconnected issues. Her research uses atmospheric chemistry modeling to inform decision-making on air pollution, climate change, and hazardous substances. With a Harvard PhD and experience in science-policy interactions, Professor Selin's expertise is vital. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Tammy Ramos, a youth organizer with Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), led a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles. Living in Wilmington, home to extensive oil operations, Tammy and other youth plaintiffs challenged the city's approval of oil drilling without proper environmental review, a violation of state law.

Despite intervention from the California Independent Petroleum Association (CIPA), whose claims were dismissed by appellate and Supreme Courts, the youth prevailed. This victory prompted Los Angeles to implement stronger environmental reviews for drilling projects. Tammy continues to fight environmental racism, inspiring fellow youth leaders to drive change in their communities.

Collapsing ice shelves and calving icebergs in Greenland and Antarctica are now major drivers of sea level rise. The speed of these changes highlights significant gaps in our understanding of how ice sheets respond to climate change, largely due to insufficient measurements from glaciers' marine edges.

For over a decade, Fiammetta Straneo and her Scripps Institution of Oceanography team have probed Greenland's calving glaciers using diverse vehicles. Their research provides crucial data, improving models and sea-level rise predictions. This presentation was recorded on May 13, 2019, as part of the "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series."

American democracy often excludes youth, despite public policy significantly impacting their lives. Young people possess powerful, dynamic voices ready to contribute to policymaking. It's time to challenge negative perceptions and redefine inclusivity to ensure youth are fully represented.

Amanda Schuerman, an 18-year-old community activist from Gilbert, Arizona, exemplifies this call for change. She serves as Southwest Regional Director for March For Our Lives and Captain of her Speech and Debate team, planning a career in nonprofit law. This talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Global urbanization creates challenges for poverty reduction and sustainability. Xiaoxiang Zhu addresses this by developing a global model of urban areas, using satellite and social media data with machine learning. Her models depict 3D building shapes, functions, and temporal changes. Open access to this data will enable broad global impacts, from improving slum conditions to providing more accurate census information.

A professor at TUM specializing in Signal Processing in Earth Observation, Xiaoxiang Zhu combines her lifelong fascination with space and mathematics in her work. This talk was delivered at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Addressing the inefficiency of single-occupant vehicles in traffic, Tommaso Gecchelin proposes "car jumping." This innovative transportation method allows commuters traveling in the same direction to group more efficiently, providing door-to-door service while preserving individual autonomy.

Gecchelin, a physicist and industrial designer from Padua, Italy, co-founded NEXT to realize his vision for future mobility. Inspired by the correlations between science and design, he's transforming this concept into reality. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
