Details	Many of us want to do something about climate change but don’t know where to start or feel disempowered as we believe our actions are insignificant. But small changes can make a big difference. Did you know that if enough of us made simple habit tweaks across just eight areas of our daily life from food, online shopping to internet surfing plus more, we could save more than two billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions? This is equivalent to the combined 2015 GHG emissions of Japan and South Korea! The power of one is strong, but the power of a group is stronger; and tech is a powerful catalyst critical to realising collective action: How can tech/apps be used to gamify habit changes to synergise collective savings for a greener society and better planet? Can we use tech to improve emissions across these eight areas? What about harnessing social media to spread the word around the world of these simple actions? Start innovating now with CWR in this workshop and explore how to leverage simple actions that can lead to greener lifestyles and a healthier planet. The 2022 IPCC report paints a bleak future if we do nothing - large parts of Hong Kong submerged by rising seas in your lifetimes cannot be ruled out. Time is running short, but it has not run out … so don’t wait, YOUR technical solution can make a difference … together we can hack better habits for a better planet.

Details	The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is clearer than ever: "Code Red for Humanity". The message is clear: to meet the greatest challenge facing humanity, we must collectively and urgently step up our efforts to reduce emissions and limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Businesses have a crucial role to play in leading the change. To achieve net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest, many aspects of our economy and society will need to be completely transformed - with the support of governments, investors, businesses and consumers. How can we get there fastest and what challenges might we face on the way? Questions like "How can we measure and manage climate risks? What should we focus on as a business?" And - perhaps most importantly - "What opportunities can we identify to solve problems and create positive impact both environmentally and economically?" are key questions that we need to address and provide guidance and solutions for. We are in the decade of urgent action. The benefits have never been clearer - let's do it together!
