Creating tangible change
In March, another member of The Audacious Project’s first class got liftoff when MethaneSAT — a satellite designed to measure methane emissions — launched into orbit. It’s now circling the globe every 95 minutes, monitoring 80% of the world’s oil and gas production, to help us avoid the worst climate impacts.
TED levels up the power of convenings
TED has always used events to catalyze collective action; now, we're launching new conference experiences designed for the future. This year, TED received the highly acclaimed 2024 IMEX-EIC Innovation in Sustainability award for utilizing community-led storytelling and sustainable planning at the 2023 Countdown Summit in Detroit. In October, the first-ever TEDNext conference in Atlanta, Georgia inspired nearly 1,000 attendees to explore their path and purpose with brand-new formats for talks and workshops centered on personal growth and cultivating leadership for a thriving future.
By the numbers
In 2024, TED content was shared more than 21.9 million times, creating a multiplier effect of change around the world.
In Addition:
$5.9 billion has been unlocked since the start of The Audacious Project for projects taking on society’s most intractable problems.
1 million educators are now using TED-Ed in the classroom, inspiring the next generation, with lessons getting more than 2 million views a day.
