Combating climate change and contributing to sustainability is the need of the hour; our earth needs our commitment - it is now or never. Around the globe, countries, universities, businesses, communities, and individuals are responding to this by taking ambitious steps to build a sustainable future. Collaboration among corporates, academia, startups, a new generation of sustainability thinkers, doers, and innovators is essential to make real what matters.
应对气候变化和促进可持续发展是当下的需要：我们的地球需要我们的承诺——现在或永远不会。 在全球范围内，国家、大学、企业、社区和个人正在通过采取雄心勃勃的措施来应对这一问题，以建立一个可持续的未来。 企业、学术界、初创公司、新一代可持续发展思想家、实干家和创新者之间的合作对于实现重要的事情至关重要。
To address this, Siemens launches the global ‘Tech for Sustainability’ campaign 23, an open innovation ideation campaign with 8 challenges with the aim of engaging with students, researchers, startups, pioneering companies, and innovative individuals all over the world - to leverage technology to solve real-world sustainability challenges and thereby shape our future together.
