This TEDx talk, presented on October 17, 2020, at TEDxEuropeanSustainabilityAcademy Crete, addressed climate change and sustainability. Professor Theocharis Tsoutsos, from the Environmental Engineering School at TU Crete and founder of the Renewable & Sustainable Energy Lab (ReSEL), shared insights into Rethymno's successful sustainable mobility initiative.

He detailed the H2020 CIVITAS Destinations project, which engaged diverse stakeholders to implement policy-based mobility solutions. This program significantly improved residents' quality of life, enhanced the city's image, and enriched visitor experiences, establishing Rethymno as a 'lighthouse example' for other EU cities.

Syukuro Manabe delivered his Nobel Prize lecture, "Physical modelling of Earth’s climate," on Wednesday, December 8, 2021. Professor Thors Hans Hansson introduced him.

Manabe shared the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics with Klaus Hasselmann. Their work was recognized for "physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming."

The prize, awarded for "groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems," also saw Giorgio Parisi receive the other half for his discoveries on disorder and fluctuations in physical systems.

Professor Sara Wylie (Northeastern University) connects fossil fuels to climate change and endocrine disruption, discussing strategies to resist the combined toxicities of the fossil fuel and petrochemical industries. She also explores developing alternative public interest databases and environmental health research tools.

Growing concern about beef's environmental impact faces political backlash, driving new climate commitments. Food and climate experts will discuss the climate science of beef, exploring effective solutions, regenerative practices, and emission reduction strategies. They will also examine carbon markets, consumer awareness, and how cultural factors influence the debate.

Renowned experts Dr. Jonathan Foley (Project Drawdown), Dr. Matthew Hayek (NYU), and Dr. Silvia Secchi (University of Iowa) will lead this discussion. Sign up for our Food X e-newsletter: https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/food-x/

Human objects in space are creating dangerous clutter. MIT Assistant Professor Danielle Wood advocates for sustainable space technology, stressing the need to respect both people and the environment in future missions. This approach is crucial for managing the "industrial waste" accumulating beyond Earth.

One promising solution involves a wax-based fuel for satellites, made from beeswax and candle wax. This less toxic and more affordable alternative would help bring objects closer to Earth for safe deorbiting and destruction, offering a sustainable way to address space debris.

Dr. Quinton's talk, "Dinosaurs, Asteroids, and Climate Change," explores the connections between climate change, asteroid impacts, and dinosaur extinction. She discusses predictions regarding how an asteroid alters Earth's climate, emphasizing that these have not been empirically tested and thus require a creative experimental approach.

Page Quinton is an Assistant Professor of Geology, teaching courses such as Principles of Paleontology, Geochemistry, and Climate Change: Past and Present. This presentation was given at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
