Challenge description

The world today is filled with serious and immediate existential threats to human survival ranging from weapons of mass destruction to climate change and the arrival of smart machines. Billions of tons of greenhouse gases as well as the waste in the oceans and in the forrests come from the humans.

Challenge vision

The Club of Rome at its 50th anniversary focused on the need to recognise the seriousness of the threats and take immediate actions with the report entitled Come On!

Because these threats can only be avoided by human ingenuity and persistent focus on solutions. The response to these overwhelming challenges originates from a human heart, which decides that now is the time to make a difference. Change in behaviour or change in technology follows, and this journey becomes also incredibly rewarding emotionally.
