The UNDP Accelerator Labs and Nesta collaborated on a flagship report on Collective intelligence for climate action for all of 2023. Today, on Earth Day, we finally presented it! As ever, I am humbled by the work of the collective, and grateful that I was able to contribute as one of the authors. The report is downloadable here: https://zenodo.org/records/10535116

I made this image a decade ago. It shows how it doesn’t take much to make a difference. Someone repurposed a plastic barrel, painted “Help keep the River clean” on the side, and set it at a popular fishing spot on a river leading to Lake Michigan. Yes, it was being used and emptied regularly. A good example of “Think global, act local”. #michigan#BuyIntoArt#pixels

🌏This Earth Day, explore what we can do to make the Internet greener and how we can build resilient infrastructure that can withstand the effects of climate change.
The projects are expected to eventually reduce emissions by the equivalent of 30 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and save households $350 million annually, along with expanding our capabilities in solar energy, an important component of our climate goals. #EarthDay#BidenHarris2024
Humans as a species need to do more to protect the environment. We as individuals can only do so much; we need a cultural shift and we need big corporations / governments of the world to help.
