Fiberoptic cables that transport sunlight from the outside to lamps inside your office? A whole city powered purely by the sun? Toy libraries where children rent toys and play without spending a dime? A 300,000 strong network of youth engaged in climate issues? Wind power generators that are mounted vertically?
Sounds too good to be true, right? Think again. Climate entrepreneurs everywhere – large and small – are changing the world as we speak. The examples mentioned above (Parans, Retoy, IYCN, Sun Valley and Vertical Wind) are only five cases where people like you and me have gone from idea to reality, all in the name of sustainability.
With the Get In! project we are inspiring people to act by presenting a sophisticated world analysis coupled with stories, like the ones above, about real solutions to climate change, reachable visions of a sustainable future, and real-life examples of the people – climate entrepreneurs and change-makers – that are making it all happen.
Through our work we have collaborated with and come across a wide range of inspiring people, innovations, solutions, stories and results, building up, in short, a virtual bank of inspirational examples and stories that we now want to share with you.
This project takes many shapes:
Seminars and Workshops
Debate articles
Radio & TV shows and segments
Events
