Countdown
On December 4, 2021, the 2nd edition of the TEDxSavassi Countdown - Countdown to a zero carbon world - took place. Countdown is a global TED Talks initiative that aims to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and to turn ideas into action. By presenting a real path to achieving net zero, the Countdown movement is designed to bring together people from all over the world to celebrate and publicize the decisions and goals related to the United Nations Climate Conference, COP26.
As part of this movement, the TEDxSavassi Countdown 2021 turned to building a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 in the race to a zero carbon world - a safer, cleaner and fairer world for all.

Climate Hackathon
To complete the TEDxSavassi Countdown program, a Climate Hackathon was held in partnership with the organizations Sustentabilize-se and Uniclima, approximately one month before the event, so that multidisciplinary groups of young people could propose solutions to problems listed by 05 social organizations that work in the Brazil - Greenpeace, WRI, YCL, Climate Reality Project, Engajamundo and Zero Youth Waste.
The TEDxSavassi Agenda 2030 received 03 lectures on its virtual stage that relate to SDG No. 12 - Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. The first was Clarissa Taguchi's, who reflected on how our food choices impact the world we live in.

The second talk related to ODS 12 was that of Gilberto Chagas, a collector of recyclable materials and social photographer, whose life was transformed through collection. Gilberto shares how people's lives can be transformed through activities such as recycling, in an exciting personal account, as well as reflecting on why people who work with waste are stigmatized and ignored by society, always staying on the sidelines of opportunities.
Finally, TEDxSavassi Agenda 2030 featured a lecture by Eduardo Muñoz, on the decarbonization of urban centers in the preservation of the Amazon. Eduardo tells through his trajectory - which goes from the extraction of açaí along the Amazon riverside to the development of shared electric vehicles in the United States and in global markets - how forest preservation can be the solution for improving the environment in large urban centers .
