Join our arena of a carbon neutral world!
We are delighted you have made your way here while the world around us is getting warmer, and warmer.
Collectively, we will pass on the Earthlympics fire and make sure we become champions in the race towards a greener society that is better for both our health and the planet.
What’s all this about?
The climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges we are facing as a society. In this context, small numbers have a significant impact: Currently, we have reached global warming of +1.15° compared to pre-industrial levels. Only +1.5°C will dramatically determine what our lives will look like soon. Will we be able to breathe fresh air? Will there be sufficient nutritious food? Will we have the delight of coffee, tea, and chocolate? Will we be able to enjoy warm summer days, or will we suffer from heat waves forcing us to stay in air-conditioned rooms? The calls are clear: We need to scale up actions, including to's on the individual level, to cut global emissions by half until 2030 and in the end, become a climate-neutral society.
Why is this about you?
Every one of us can become a climate champion and make a contribution to tackle the climate challenge through individual behaviour shifts. For this, we all must understand how our daily behaviours and routines are related to climate issues. This understanding is necessary to scale-up efforts to promote transformational changes in the economy. Still not sure why all this is about you? Please stick with us to find out…
Our mission
It is time to show our commitment to Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, we try to support SDG 13, which is Climate Action, by developing a digital solution: The Earthlympics Application.
Our solution
We want to help you become a climate champion understanding how your daily routines are related to climate change and more importantly, how you can easily switch to a behaviour that will keep you and our planet healthy
The Earthlympics App
After intense work of 40 hours, we managed to develop an idea on how we could help you to switch to climate-friendly behaviour in an App that would motivate you to engage with and keep up with your efforts.
