Let's Hack Climate Change Hack For A Green Economy Build A Low-Carbon Society
Why EkoClimathon?
Global Climate Change Mitigation efforts fall short to achieve the 1.5°C goals. The world leaders are focusing on driving net-zero with stringent decisions by cutting emissions through cap & trade, and driving adaptation for better future resilience. However, tech innovation can be an alternative fast route that can bring the world closer to the net-zero goal.
