Patrin WOur World 2.0 is brought to you by the United Nations University and asks the question: What can we do when faced with complex, inter-connected and pressing problems like climate change, oil depletion and food security?
In responding to these challenges, innovation will be the key. This webzine and documentary series will report on and analyze these innovations in order to inspire people to learn.
And while understanding is a precursor to motivation, innovation and technology alone will not solve these problems. These are just examples of how to bring about change. A global priority shift is perhaps first necessary, so we must consider the question: Why change? And you are best placed to answer this.
Our World 2.0 speaks to you, the general public and shares stories on how and why we can re-make this world into a newer, better version.
For Our World 2.0, the central tenet is that we can use our collective knowledge, technology and design to facilitate creativity, innovation, and, most notably, collaboration amongst people.
Our World 2.0 is a conversation. It is your opportunity to have a say and to share your ideas.
Our World 2.0 motivates people to take action and illustrates how this action can bring immediate benefits in terms of their money, health and overall lifestyle. -
