🚀 We’re still not over what happened at #ClimathonZurich 2024! 🚀 In times of multiple crises and shocking election results, we need more hope than ever. Climathon Zurich gave us all a lot of hope and momentum for the climate movement in Zurich: Over an intense 32 hours, we watched over 80 participants tackle climate challenges, work through the night, and develop impactful ideas to drive Zurich’s journey toward net zero. The energy, creativity, and commitment of everyone involved was truly inspiring, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the engagement of all participants, coaches, experts, partners, and sponsors. 🌍💚 A huge congratulations to the 16 teams who pitched their ideas – from encouraging ground travel to creating a hydration reminder for the elderly, the range of solutions was incredible! In the end, seven standout projects received awards, showing just how meaningful and innovative each team’s work was. If you’re curious about the projects and ideas that emerged from the event, we’ve created a #BookletofIdeas with all the Climathon projects and a spotlight on our winning teams. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dkPcUKRs This unforgettable experience reminds us that tackling the climate crisis requires bold action and collaboration from each and everyone of us. We are still a minority and setbacks are part of our journey for change. Let’s encourage each other and keep fighting for what we believe in 💪🌿 Here’s to many more climate innovations – and see you again for #ClimathonZurich 2025!

🚀#ClimathonZurich 2024 has kicked off!🚀 Together we can make a difference, because together we are powerful,  Vanessa Rueber, from Patagonia, told the 120+ participants! Indeed, #Climathon is the chance for everyone to get active in addressing the climate crisis said Niels Rot, Co-Founder of Impact Hub Zürich and Rflect. This may require courage, but courage is to acknowledge difficulties and still get active. Over the next two days our goal is to spark change and move towards net zero added Rahel Gessler, Head of Climate and Environmental Projects and Programs of Stadt Zürich. To do this we need to question established new behaviors and embrace new solutions. This year our participants will contribute to this by addressing the following challenges from the Stadt Zürich and Patagonia: 🎨 … How can culture and art inspire climate action? ✈️ … Flying Less? Easy! How do we make ground travel the new normal? ⛄ … Keep Cool: How can we empower Zurich’s citizens to adapt to extreme heat? 🙋♀️ … Employees for Change: How can we empower employees to drive sustainability within companies? For the next 24 hours participants will work on innovative ideas on how to turn these challenges into opportunities to advancing Zurich’s efforts to reach net zero! Curious about the results? 👉OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: Experience the #Climathon vibe first hand by joining us tomorrow for the Festival of Ideas at 1 pm at Kraftwerk Zürich to listen to the final pitches of the Climathon teams and to mingle with the climate community!
