Climate action can be a vehicle to deliver dignity, opportunity and equality for all. UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed invites us to reimagine what the journey to net-zero could look like if we invest in people’s climate efforts while prioritizing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals — a blueprint of interlinked global goals to protect humanity and our warming planet. “It’s time to make some serious noise to transform our world,” she says.

Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at

    This TED talk is all “show” and zero substance. I think we should add white paint to the Oceans so they cool the planet down. Or it could be red. But then we’d have to use most of the
    “bleeding hearts” of the World.

    If any of you think you can stop the normal climate changes that our earth experiences, you are mistaken. No amount of money will influence it. Speak to China and India about their carbon emissions if you care.

  13. Julia Nielsen

    December 30, 2021 at 4:50 pm

    All she does is use fearmongering (shocker, I know) to do what the left has wanted to do forever: erode rights and redistribute wealth. All of these lofty goals will cause more harm than good if there isn’t an alternative plan, which they don’t have. Plain and simple – you cannot control the climate – Earth will survive with or without us. Leave it up to God.

    Nothing major will change. Until we have legally binding, annual targets with large penalties for not meeting them – then net zero will never happen. Stating a year 30 years from now is just kicking responsibility down the road to the next generation i.e. our children.

    • Phantom FPV

      December 31, 2021 at 1:06 am

      Climate change in the US is easy, we can regulate and hold our citizens responsible. The rest of the world, not the case. Net zero is a farce. No other county plans to forfeit money, food or civility to reduce their carbon footprint. Fix Inda, Asia, Africa, and maybe we’ll get close. But guess who we’ll never fix – India, Asia, Africa or any other third world nation that has never even heard of net zero. Survival is their climate of change. Stop greed, and maybe create a chance.

  21. Josh Keirsey

    December 30, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    Let’s say all the world’s resources are poured into this, living standards within rich countries take a massive hit as a result while poor nations see a huge economic boon. What is the plan to prevent the inevitable global war this massive change in balance will create? Rich nations are going to see this as pure favoritism and their people will wonder why they should foot the bill for results they will never see. That is what needs to be discussed, the results beyond the big idea.

    I recall the line from Hollywood’s “The Untouchables” and Sean Connery is dying “What are you prepared to do?”

    It is a global issue as seems and it’s reality, it would be better if all the countries could have take decision S on that. As a humen being in this earth it is all our responsibility to protect our earth let’s work on that . It must be discussed on the national organizations meetings and conferences. We’ll what we can do each day with our daily life let us think about it. Atleast save plants trees.. 🙏 Her speech was really inspired.

    TED | Ladies and gentlemen..We must say openly
    to each other the things we hold in our hearts and that too often are
    said only behind closed doors. 

    There must be a sustained effort

    to
    listen to each other;

    to learn from each other;

    to respect one another;

    and to seek common ground. 

    As the Holy Koran tells us, “Be conscious
    of God and speak always the truth.” 

    That is what I will try
    to do today — to speak the truth as best I can,

    humbled by the task
    before us,

    and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human
    beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart.

    These are not just
    United Nations | الأمـــــمُ المتّـحــــدَة
    ideas,
    they are human rights. 

    And that is why we will support them everywhere.

    Thank you.

    I am curious as to how the great green wall will be irrigated. It’s one thing to plant 100 million trees in a desert, but quite another to keep them growing.
    I think we need to be more conscious of what we buy as individuals as well, our lifestyle choices and who we put in power. In Australia, right wing Parties dominate, because simple folk are easy to scare, and any decent politicians use honest messaging. They simply cannot compete with the deluge of corporate funded propaganda. How to win the votes of the uneducated is the key, as they probably don’t watch Ted talks.

They’ll keep doing what they do unless we take control and fix it ourselves.

    Like crypto currency economy there should be a a “blue currency” economy. This blue currency is linked to green activities & poverty, with which you can buy only basic amenities(food/sanitary/health/books). Crypto is the currency of the “cash rich”; blue will be the currency of the “cash poor”!! It would also prevent misuse/misappropriation in the name of the “net zero” Revolution!!
