Join the Impact Challenge!

A challenge for students and young professionals interested in changing the planet with technology.

The International Energy Agency forecast that in 2020 about eight percent less of CO2 emissions have been emitted by the people of this planet. That is a great figure IF we could stick to this trend - airplanes almost vanished in the sky and more people are working from home. 

“What’s remarkable is not how much emissions will go down because of the pandemic, but how little.” - Bill Gates

He states further: "Within the next 40 years, increases in global temperatures are projected to raise global mortality rates [...]14 deaths per 100,000. By the end of the century, if emissions growth stays high, climate change could be responsible for 73 extra deaths per 100,000 people. In a lower emissions scenario, the death rate drops to 10 per 100,000.

In other words, by 2060, climate change could be just as deadly as COVID-19, and by 2100 it could be five times as deadly."

You do not want this to happen? You want to save the planet?

We are on the same page and therefor have co-created with Main Incubator the
