Sara was the co-producer and host of TEDxKingsCross as part of the TED Countdown series on ‘How We’re Going to Solve Climate Change’.
Each speaker used their own perspective and experiences to raise the urgency but also possibility for our future. TEDxKingsCross focused on keeping the momentum of COP26 going, and look ahead to the challenge we collectively face. The event attracted 100 in-person attendees and over 900 join our live stream. The talks are available to watch on the TEDx YouTube Channel.

“TEDxKingsCross left me feeling more informed, insightful and inspired then I have remembered feeling in a long time. We have so much to play for- when we listen to the facts, solutions and stories that are right here in front of us, this will empower us, remind us to hold systems accountable, and allow us to connect with both nature and community.”
