Impact Hub Zürich

🚀Climathon Zurich 2024 has kicked off!🚀 Together we can make a difference, because together we are powerful,  Vanessa Rueber from Patagonia, told the 120+ participants! Indeed, #Climathon is the chance for everyone to get active in addressing the climate crisis said Niels Rot, Co-Founder of Impact Hub Zurich and Rflect. This may require courage, but courage is to acknowledge difficulties and still get active. Over the next two days our goal is to spark change and move towards net zero added Rahel Gessler, Head of Climate and Environmental Projects and Programs of Stadt Zürich. To do this we need to question established behaviors and embrace new solutions. Which brings us to this year’s #climathonzurich challenges from the Stadt Zürich and Patagonia: 🎨 … How can culture and art inspire climate action? ✈️ … Flying Less? Easy! How do we make ground travel the new normal? ⛄ … Keep Cool: How can we empower Zurich’s citizens to adapt to extreme heat? 🙋♀️ … Employees for Change: How can we empower employees to drive sustainability within companies? Curious about which innovative ideas our teams are developing in the next 24 hours? 👉PUBLIC: Join us tomorrow for the Festival of Ideas at 1 pm at Kraftwerk Zürich to listen to the final pitches of the Climathon teams and to mingle with the climate community! 👉Full program: https://climathon.ch  A great thank you to our wonderful moderator Laurène Descamps, to Lara Mogge, Eva Aschwanden and Magdalena Auer from our #ClimateAction & #CircularEconomy team and Silvia Burgdorf and Clea Henzen from the City of Zurich for their amazing work of putting it all together! #Climathon #Zurich is organised by Impact Hub Zürich in close collaboration with Stadt Zürich and supported by Climate-KIC, Google, and Patagonia.
