Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials
Using our planet’s natural resources carefully and taking action on global warming
We are consuming too many resources, generating a lot of waste, and causing potentially irreversible damage to the environment and the climate. The increasing burden we are placing on the planet cannot go on forever and the impact of global warming is already being felt. We need to turn the situation around and you could well have a role to play in that.
Designers who can create objects that use less electricity, inventors who can come up with better ways of recycling or retrieving precious elements from waste, biologists who can work out effective ways to conserve species – there are so many ways you could help that the only real limit is your imagination!
