Hosted by Capgemini's Applied Innovation ExchangeThe climate conversation is stuck. One side sells doom, the other sells denial, and most of the energy goes into proving someone wrong. But proving people wrong has never built a working system.
On Earth Day, join Tom Chi — physicist, founding member of Google X, and founding partner of At One Ventures — for a keynote drawn from his new national bestseller, Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future. Tom will challenge the room to shift from "prove-you-wrong" to "build-forward" — the mindset that actually produces breakthroughs, from DARPA's rapid iteration model to the autonomous robots now replanting coral reefs and mangrove forests at scale.
This is not a talk about why the planet is in trouble. It's a toolkit for what to do about it.Run of Show
