Countdown : The Next Now
TEDxPortharcourt 2025
TEDxPortHarcourt is proud to host a TED Countdown Anchor event in 2025, joining a select group of cities worldwide. This isn’t another discussion about climate change—it’s a call to action. Instead of overwhelming data and predictions, we focus on solutions that inspire real progress.
“The Next Now” encapsulates the urgency and opportunity of the present moment. It emphasizes that the future of our planet is being shaped now by the actions we take (or fail to take). It calls for a shift from passive observation to active participation in creating a sustainable future. It highlights the power of present innovation to drive transformative change and emphasizes that the “next” solutions are needed now. Port Harcourt is about to take center stage in the global climate conversation as the city hosts the TEDxPHCity Countdown Anchor City this October .
