PLANET: Climate Change - The Hydrogen Revolution and the global energy system

As pressure to tackle climate change grows, so has the idea that hydrogen will play a central role in a cleaner global energy system. We’re constantly told that our planet is in crisis; that to save it, we must upend our lives. But maybe that really is not the case, we just need a new kind of fuel: hydrogen. From transportation and infrastructure to heating and electricity, hydrogen could eliminate fossil fuels, boost economic growth, and encourage global action on climate change. It could also solve the most bedeviling aspects of today’s renewable energy—from transporting and storing wind and solar energy and their vulnerability to weather changes to the inefficiency and limited utility of heavy, short-lasting batteries.  The Hydrogen Revolution isn’t just a manifesto for a powerful new technology. It’s a hopeful reminder that despite the gloomy headlines about the fate of our planet, there’s still an opportunity to turn things around.

Smart Cities and the Future of Urbanism

Contemporary cities reveal a plethora of challenges. After two centuries of urbanization and industrialization, the cities became main drivers of climate change and social inequality. Being the most dynamic invention of humankind and hotspots of creative, political and intellectual capital, cities also offer immense potential to be cradles of social, spatial and economic innovation. Therefore, if we want cities to become smart, sustainable and inclusive habitats, it requires data-driven, evidence-based cross-sectoral urban and economic models & policies. This session, co-organized by Drees&Sommer -  Integrated Urban Solutions, will offer insights from different disciplinary and regional voices. The aim is to reveal integrated techniques and methods to uncover the latent potential of human, financial and societal strata through showcasing project-based initiative in several contemporary cities in Europe and Asia.

PROSPERITY: Data Unions - Your data, Your decision, Your rewards!

Data is everywhere. It's in our photos, emails, and even the clothes we wear. We produce data every second of every day — but it's still not as valued as it should be. There are a few big companies harvesting its value by owning large quantities of data, such as access to our GPS location or browsing history. But they sell that data to other companies that then use it to try and sell us more things — like tailored ads in a newspaper that you no longer read. Yet it's easier than ever for corporations to take our data and sell it for a profit — without asking us first. Hence, a Data Union is a way of pooling data between various parties and monetizing it as a collective. How can you be a part of this revolution? Let's talk!
