*1. Climate awareness* - creating the will to act universal understanding and awareness of climate change and what we can do about it a radical shift in public and political will to take the action necessary systems that create the right economic incentives for consumers and businesses
*2. Climate adaptation* - preparing for and mitigating the effects adapting to the climate effects that are already taking place (e.g. heatwaves, drought, forest fires, flooding, extreme weather events) mitigating against and preparing for events that are increasing in likelihood building communities that are resilient and proactive
*3. Climate action* - limiting climate change facilitating a rapid transition to carbon-free and low carbon energy ending deforestation and stimulating widespread reforestation influencing consumer and business behaviour to make climate-friendly choices How does #hack4good work?
Teams respond to problem statements and challenges set by NGOs, government organisations and subject matter experts, collaborating intensively over a 48-hour period. The result is 100s of prototype projects that demonstrate innovative technology solutions to have a positive impact for humanity.
*Hack4good 0.6 Locations so far* Bangalore Kazan Malta Odessa Santiago Berlin Krakow Minsk Paris Senegal Chicago Kiev Mumbai Philadelphia Southampton Dublin Lisbon New Delhi Port of Spain Topi Hyderabad London New Orleans San Jose Tunis Kathmandu Los Angeles New York San Francisco Washington DC
