在氣候危機中正行——為公正轉型行動/Acting Right in the Climate Crisis | 張寒瑋 Han-Wei Chang | TEDxMingdao HS Youth
在氣候危機日益嚴峻的時代,我們需要「正行」。從正視問題開始,專注共好的價值,讓利他行動點燃永續。我將分享個人轉職的心路歷程,以及從國際氣候會議參與到推動淨零轉型的實際經驗,說明如何透過行動,讓青年、女性和社會脆弱群體的聲音被聽見,最終轉化為具體的公正轉型方案。我相信,在氣候危機中,每一個正直的行動,都是改變未來的力量。The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time. It demands more than awareness — it calls for righteous action. To act righteously is to face the truth, to choose the path of integrity, and to work for the common good, even when the road ahead is uncertain. My journey took me from international climate conferences to community-driven initiatives for net-zero transition. Along the way, I’ve seen how the voices of youth, women, and vulnerable communities can rise above the noise — and, when amplified, can shape just transition policies.
In this talk, I will share how we can transform empathy into action, and action into systemic change. Because in the face of the climate emergency, every honest step we take can become the spark that lights a more just and sustainable future.e climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time. It demands more than awareness — it calls for righteous action.

- 17:45What AI can't hear | Tünde Lukacs | TEDxHWZAI hears words; humans hear weight. I’ll show how presence, silence, and “reading the room” reveal what transcripts miss—brought to life with a yellow chair, a deliberate pause, and a simple “sigh changes the story” demo. Despite the provocative title, it’s not human vs. AI; the magic happens when AI handles information and humans hold context.

- 4:36Democracy at 16: A Risk or a Right? | Georgiana Jeffreys | TEDxSGBIS YouthThrough recent election reforms in the United Kingdom, sixteen-year-olds will now be given the right to vote in the next general election. In Europe currently the only countries to allow them to vote in general elections are Austria and Malta . On the one hand teens form a vital part of society and their vote would mean the government was more reflective of the public opinion and giving them the opportunity to vote encourages lifelong civic engagement. On the other hand teens are very susceptible to the influence of parents and therefore would be less reflective and secondly, teens have a lack of maturity and life experience and therefore this power should not be handed over to them.

- 4:52Burnt by Today's Education System | Anna Gallagher | TEDxSGBIS YouthHow far is the education system helpful in shaping young minds and driving success? The education system seems to have a singular view of success that is only achieved with a narrow path filled with methodical examinations. However, this close minded view has lead to the crushing of creativity and individuality as well as curiosity and has left many students demoralised and discouraged from pursuing education and knowledge. This has also lead to anxiety and the phenomenon that is burn out. Is this singular view of education helpful or harmful and what would be alternatives? And can exams truly assess our understanding of a topic when many are more focused on learning exam technique rather than understanding the content?

- 8:09Chega de Stress: a bicicleta desarma o trânsito e traz Paz. | Gisela Carvalho | TEDxJoaoPessoaSalonO trânsito das cidades se tornou um verdadeiro campo de batalha, uma guerra silenciosa onde a pressa, a distração (celular) e a velocidade são os gatilhos. Neste vídeo, Gisela Carvalho faz uma reflexão urgente: se os veículos motorizados se tornaram armas que tiram vidas diariamente, qual é o caminho para a paz e a segurança viária? Ela é ciclista, vive na mira e revela os números assustadores de atropelamentos e mortes de ciclistas. A mobilidade urbana foi corrompida pela cultura do "eu primeiro" transformando pedestres e ciclistas em alvos fáceis. A bicicleta pode ser o ato de humanidade e conscientização que o trânsito precisa. Pedalar não é apenas um benefício para a saúde e o meio ambiente, mas uma ferramenta poderosa de transformação social. A bicicleta desacelera a cidade e nos ensina a ter empatia e presença. Gisela Carvalho é educadora, mãe, contadora de histórias, cicloviajante, sonhadora, mulher engajada nas questões da bicicleta e no cotidiano de uso na vida na cidade. Atuou em pesquisas sobre a promoção da mobilidade por bicicleta e é voluntária da rede Bike Anjo, onde ensina pessoas a pedalar. Além disso, participa de debates sobre mobilidade ativa em fóruns e eventos fomentando esses lugares de ativismo social e político.
