Climate mobility is the new adaptation | Mehak Masood | TEDxLahore
In her talk on climate mobility, Mehak confronts the uncomfortable truth that displacement due to climate change is no longer a distant threat but a present reality. With clarity and empathy, she reframes the narrative; not as a crisis to resist, but as a transformation we must learn to adapt to. Her message is both urgent and hopeful: adaptation is not surrender, but survival, and it demands reimagining how we live, move, and belong in a changing world. Mehak Masood, a respected Environmentalist and Climate Change Scientist, earned her "Master of Environment" from The University of Melbourne on the Australia Awards Scholarship in 2018. With 15+ years' experience, she led environmental, sustainability, and climate change efforts at Government of Pakistan, UN, USAID, GIZ, The British Council, IUCN, DAI, Interloop, Artistic Milliners and the University of Melbourne. Presently, as National Project Officer, Climate Change in UN-IOM Pakistan, & she also founded Green Women Pakistan. Her global recognition includes representing Pakistan at the Mosaic International Leadership Programme, completing the Climate Reality Project Training by Al Gore, and presenting a green social entrepreneurship project to HRH King Charles.

- 13:03Parole nel cassonetto! | Valentina Martinelli | TEDxAnconaCosa può racchiudere una sola parola? Emozioni, desideri, dubbi, entusiasmo e persino il nostro percorso di vita. Nel suo talk, Valentina Martinelli ci guida in un viaggio attraverso l’avverbio “ancora”, una parola semplice ma straordinariamente potente. Attraverso favole per bambini, arte, musica, cinema e letteratura da Monet a Dante, da Edoardo De Crescenzo a Michelangelo scopriamo come “ancora” diventi simbolo di persistenza, speranza, amore e apprendimento continuo. Dalla buonanotte ai bambini fino alla massima dell’arte immortale, un invito a riscoprire il valore delle parole e a trovare quella parola magica che ci accompagna lungo la nostra parabola personale. Da oltre 15 anni in Rete, quella virtuale e quella reale. Mi piace vivere connessa.

Comunichiamo dal food all'industry con un approccio fatto di concretezza, problem solving ed empatia. Sono la mamma di Margherita e Leonardo, ho un debole per i piani ben riusciti e per la carbonara.Le to-do list sono il mio mantra, amo i viaggi per i ricordi che costruiscono e i libri per i viaggi che regalano.
