Natural ecosystems are vital for planetary cooling, but effective solutions demand a holistic understanding of the organisms regulating our climate. The Crowther Lab, led by Professor Thomas Crowther, digitally explores the biosphere using advanced data and AI. This research aims to reveal nature's full potential in combating climate change and biodiversity loss.

Unlike many labs, Crowther emphasizes a comprehensive approach to predict climate progression and develop nature-based solutions. As chief scientific advisor to the UN’s Trillion Tree Campaign, his work helps organizations make informed decisions and implement these crucial solutions. This innovative perspective was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Climate change, driven by excess CO2 from industrial processes and combustion, presents our greatest existential challenge. While CO2 pollutes our air and creates unpredictable weather, the chemical industry also needs carbon. Dr. Christoph Gürtler and his team at Covestro and the CAT Catalytic Center have devised a new method to convert this waste CO2 into valuable resources.

Dr. Gürtler, a co-founder of the CAT Catalytic Center and an expert in sustainable industrial chemistry, has dedicated a decade to utilizing carbon dioxide as a resource for new technologies. His innovative work earned him a nomination for the "DEUTSCHER ZUKUNFTSPREIS." This talk was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
