University of Cambridge’s Aviation Impact Accelerator event: Accelerating Aviation to Climate Neutrality 10th November, 2021 COP26, The Action Hub, Blue Zone, SEC, Glasgow This fireside chat between Prof Rob Miller (Whittle Lab Director), Eliot Whittington Policy Director, CISL) and John Holland-Kaye (CEO, Heathrow) explores the opportunities and challenges for climate neutral aviation and the need for a whole system of aviation perspective. The hosts provide a sneak peek into the Aviation Impact Accelerator simulator prototype to demonstrate its potential to guide innovation, investment, and policy action. The Aviation Impact Accelerator (AIA) will accelerate the transition to climate neutral aviation by facilitating industry alignment and decision maker engagement. The AIA is building an interactive, open-source, whole system simulator that can map pathways and accelerate the journey to climate neutral aviation.

At its core, racism denies your humanity. At its core, sexism demeans and demands that you accept less than full person-hood. At the intersection of race and gender, there is little chance to be

At its core, racism denies your humanity. At its core, sexism demeans and demands that you accept less than full person-hood. At the intersection of race and gender, there is little chance to be truly free. I didn’t realize that I had been doing the very thing I swore I would never do. I had gotten so good at presenting my pain, frustration, anger and hurt as a black woman to predominantly white audiences in conversations and every day life that I did not realize how exhausting it had become. So, I finally decided, I had had enough of polite conversation. I would speak my truth and declare as Beyonce had in Lemonade, “I Ain’t Sorry." Frances Cudjoe-Waters is the mother of three incredible boys and the wife of an amazing husband - all of them on the endangered list in 2017 America. After focusing on civil rights issues as a Harvard Law student two decades ago, she never thought she would see the reemergence of situations like Charlottesville, VA and the spree of killings of black bodies with repeated acquittals by white juries - something she'd only studied about in the 90's as history from the 1960's, but now lived again in the late 2010's. She is passionate, loved and loving. And somehow seeks ways to facilitate discussions between all types of people from all different places. And didn't realize until preparing for this talk, how much of a toll this always "even-ness" and dispassionate intellectualism can actually take as we all seek to just be human. Her family was recently featured by the Dallas Morning News with a profile of her family on the front page of the Sunday paper 2017. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

In an age where energy is a top priority for researchers and government officials all around the world, David Maissonier sheds a little bit of light on the complexity and difficulty around the energy limits of our planet. Are renewable energy sources really that great as everybody says? How many people die because of energy production? Is nuclear energy really the solution for the future? Watch this talk to learn the answer to these questions – and much more! David Maisonnier is the Head of Sector of the Energy Directorate at the European Commission.

We’ve got a Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TEDxYouthEEB3/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/tedxyouthateeb3) page, too! Fusion energy presents several limits. We are today closer to limitless clean energy: recent experiments show nuclear fusion reactors could supply electricity to households by 2030. To achieve Fusion on earth requires hitting the 15 million °C milestone, which is 10 times hotter than the core of the sun - one of highest temperature limits at our reach. In this talk, David Maissonier will explore the limits of energy on our similarly limited planet. Indeed, when we look at the energy production/consumption worldwide, many figures are staggering, and we really wonder whether there is a limit to the energy we can produce. However, if we then look at the way in which we consume, and often waste, our limited natural resources, we wonder whether there is a limit to the stupidity of humanity!
