On Oct 10th and 11th, The Climate Reality Project and TED Talks are partnering for two days of presentations and discussions exploring the future we want and how we get there. It kicks off at 10am CST on October 10 with TED’s Countdown, a five-hour program of livestreamed TED talks and discussions with world-changing innovators and thought leaders confronting the climate crisis head-on and showing the way to a just, zero-carbon future.

Starting at 3pm CST, 24 Hours of Reality: Countdown to the Future continues the conversation with 24 full hours of digital presentations and discussions of how the climate crisis, environmental issues, COVID-19, and racial injustice shape our planet and this incredible moment.
