Our 12th annual event is in the making. It’s time. Let’s turn the tide on climate!

2020 is the year for COUNTDOWN – a bold new initiative from TED to transform our cities and create a sustainable world for future generations. Countdown is about involving everyone to take action in response to the global climate crisis: politicians, CEOs, activists, celebrities, and citizens both young and old. Countdown is TED’s most global activation yet! TEDxBucharest is joining as part of TED and TEDx extended family.

2 days of talks, collaboration and commitments that we can track together, learn from and build on. The goal isn’t chit-chat. The goal is action. From everyone.

When: October 9th-10th

Where: To be announced asap
