Innovate like your life depends on it...because it does.
A 17-year old student from Ukraine who may be able to put the land mine business out of business. A video game that connects players to solving pressing climate change challenges. And a robotic habitat for bees. These are 3 stories of innovations that are unfolding not just so people can thrive, but so they can thrive. In this episode of GDP, broadcast live from the CGI 2022 meeting in New York City alongside the UNGA, we meet 3 innovators who's ideas put into action may make a world of difference. Praise aside, these innovators show how a commitment to be present to a problem can lead into an executable action. It's a lesson for students, teachers, and policy makers alike on how to beat "development anxiety" and put it into commitments to action.
