Regeneración: la crisis climática como oportunidad | Javier Peña | TEDxVitoriaGasteiz

Pessimism seems to pervade news related to the fight against climate change. But for Javier Peña, we are facing the opportunity of our generation and, possibly, of our planet. We live in a society that has traded nature for carbon. CO2 emissions continue to break records, indicating a rise in temperature. We have a consumption model that destroys ecosystems. We have come to believe that society doesn't exist, that only the individual exists. But Javier Peña, science communicator for the platform “Hope: Videos for Change,” has a completely different vision. We face the opportunity to adopt a regenerative economy that will completely transform our planet and, at the same time, ensure a future for the next generations. The question is: do we want to lead this change? Science communicator, journalist, and activist. Founder of Hope!, the video platform about the climate and ecological crisis that has surpassed 1.9 million followers and accumulated 600 million views. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
