Hackathon for Human Rights - 2020

The 2020 FIFDH Hackathon is cancelled.
When innovation is used in the fight against climate change: what concrete measures can be introduced to re-examine our lifestyles? Register and participate in the FIFDH hackathon.

Climate change and, more generally, environmental issues have long been considered too remote to be considered a priority. It is only over the last few months and a broad public mobilisation that climate change has finally been recognised as an imminent threat.

Now at the top of the political, activist and media agendas, the climate issue is one of the most cross-cutting issues there is: agriculture, mobility, energy, health, the arts and the digital world, no area is immune to its consequences. Faced with this reality, how can we innovate and rethink our economy and our lifestyles?

The FIFDH, Open Geneva and Le Temps invite you for an evening and a day to reflect together on the formulation of innovative proposals to combat the dramatic effects of climate change. Register for free and participate! No particular expertise is required.
