INSEAD Asia campus
Held on 14 June 2012 at the INSEAD Asia campus, TEDxWWF comprised forward-thinking speakers who shared their endeavours and insights that are challenging and changing the way we think, live and work to meet the challenges of living on our one planet.
Theme: One Planet Living
The theme for TEDxWWF Singapore emerged from WWF's overall vision to create a world where we
can all live in harmony with nature within the limits of our one planet.
Humans, like every other species on the planet, depend on healthy ecosystems for survival. Nature provides essentials like clean water, food and medicines, while intact ecosystems also help regulate our weather and climate. However, our demand on natural resources means we are using 50 per cent more resources than the Earth can provide.
TEDxWWF Singapore inspired speakers to share their innovative ideas on how we can live in order to keep our planet healthy, touching on topics such as sustainable energy, climate change and reconnecting with nature.
