Séquestration du carbone urbain | Riya T A | TEDxThe Pupil International School Youth

Riya T A, une élève de 13 ans, explique comment des technologies inspirées de la nature pourraient aider les villes à capter le dioxyde de carbone et à réduire la pollution. Elle évoque des idées bio-inspirées, comme les feuilles cellulosiques, qui pourraient être intégrées à l'architecture urbaine pour limiter les émissions. L'intervention invite à renouer avec la nature et à imaginer des villes durables. Elle a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante.

• Captage du CO2 urbain inspiré de la nature
• Feuilles cellulosiques comme idée d'architecture urbaine
• Villes durables repensées

Riya explores how nature-inspired technology can help cities capture carbon dioxide and combat pollution. Her vision inspires us to reconnect with nature and reimagine cities as sustainable spaces that can breathe. Riya T A is a 13-year-old student and emerging climate advocate interested in ecological innovation and sustainable infrastructure. Driven by a keen curiosity about environmental science, she explores how bio-inspired technologies—such as cellulosic leaves—can be woven into modern urban architecture to actively combat carbon emissions. Known for her articulate stage presence and methodical approach to collaborative problem-solving, Riya balances her scientific inquiries with a passion for singing, dance, and cultural discovery. She aims to inspire fellow young thinkers to reimagine urban spaces through the dual lenses of ecological stewardship and creative engineering.
