2020 is the year for Countdown, a bold, global movement to find ways to shift, more rapidly, to a world with net zero greenhouse emissions and tackle the climate crisis. Countdown will be anchored by a summit of leaders in science, government, business, philanthropy, activism and more, taking place virtually on 10.10.2020. That same week, hundreds of satellite events will be hosted and organized by communities around the world. Many of the practices, ideas and stories shared will be further amplified by TED and YouTube’s global platforms.

​

In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx, a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connections. TEDxEncompass HK event is not organized by TED Conferences, but is operated under a license from TED.

今年2020年是一個令人拭目以待的一年。全球正在更全力投入零碳排放和解決氣候變化的行動。現在，這一群在科研、商界、政府、慈善行動、行動主義者等為環保議題火熱的領袖將會在2020年10月10日齊集在Countdown TED talk . 與此同時，全球各地過百組織都會在同一星期舉辦不同的有關活動一同響應。
 

一如以往，TED 和全球 YouTube 會廣傳各位參與者的經歷和理念。藉着「理念值得廣傳」的精神，TED創立了TEDx，希望藉着自我在地化的平台為參加者帶來「TED」一般的體驗 。透過結合TED Talk 影片和現場講者的話語，TEDx活動希望帶出深層次討論和連結。TEDxEncompass HK （本活動）並非由TED Conferences 舉辦，不過本活動會根據 TED 牌照守則舉辦。
