Crowds & Climate Conference a Success! Photos, videos and more

Crowds & Climate Conference a Success! Photos, videos and more

"There is hope!"
-- Conference delegate, in post-event survey
While many conversations about climate change often focus on what we should be doing, or what we are not yet able to do, last week delegates engaged in a different kind of conversation:
 
How can a large groups of people — even a global community — work together now to effectively address climate change, using new internet technologies and lessons from other initiatives?
 
Over 800 scientists, activists, business and NGO representatives, students, concerned citizens and other leaders joined us from around the world, in person and online, representing over 30 countries.
 
We captured the entire conference via photographs, videos, and notes from the unconference and we invite you to review them, either for the first time or to relive the experience:
As Professor Thomas Malone, Director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, said in his closing remarks:
 
"My hope for this conference, is that by you all participating, the climate that our children and grandchildren will be living in will be better than if we had not convened at all.  Thank you."
