This talk features a young innovator and entrepreneur presenting a green solution to the massive socio-environmental problem of crop burning in Northern India. He is the founder and CEO of Craste, a TechStars company, which operates on the principle of “maximum efficiency, zero waste” and develops pioneering materials from leftover biomass.

A Chemical Engineering graduate from Imperial College London, he was invited to Buckingham Palace by Queen Elizabeth II for his achievements. He has received numerous accolades, including the BIRAC SoCH Innovation award. Additionally, he founded Gramiksha, a non-profit focused on youth mobilization in education, at age 19.

Brendan explores the nature of species and extinction risk, offering a new lens—the wonder of nature's irreplaceable designs—to evaluate conservation policies. His philosophical and practical insights aim to reshape our approach to environmental challenges.

With a Ph.D. in philosophy and a background in neuroscience, Brendan's research bridges science and philosophy. He investigates how evaluation translates into action, why we sometimes fail to do what's right, and ethical questions concerning the value of species. He teaches ethical theory, helping students apply philosophical reflection to real-world problems.

Humanity's population has surged from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion today, now producing enough food for 10 billion. This prosperity, driven by agricultural and water revolutions, comes with significant environmental costs. Daniel assesses the critical food and water challenges of the coming century and explores opportunities for sustainable solutions.

A geochemist and lecturer at the University of Lincoln, Daniel researches the chemical interplay between humans and the environment. His work, published in international journals, investigates how earth's chemistry shapes human lives and how human actions impact nutrient and contaminant processes in soils, rivers, and groundwaters.

Governments worldwide aim to reduce carbon emissions by 80% or achieve net zero by 2050, yet current collective actions appear insufficient. Matthew Tolley's talk reveals how individual choices

Governments worldwide aim to reduce carbon emissions by 80% or achieve net zero by 2050, yet current collective actions appear insufficient. Matthew Tolley's talk reveals how individual choices can significantly cut personal carbon footprints from 12 to 2.5 tonnes annually. These simple, actionable steps require minimal lifestyle changes, save money, and don't depend on government or business intervention.

Matthew, a qualified Energy Efficiency Assessor, also assists schools, charities, and businesses in saving money by adopting energy-saving technologies, focusing on measures with a payback period under two years.
