都市の炭素固定 | Riya T A | TEDxThe Pupil International School Youth

13歳の学生Riya T Aさんが、自然に着想を得た技術によって都市が二酸化炭素を回収し、汚染を減らせる可能性について語ったTEDxトークです。セルロース製の葉のような構造を都市建築に組み込み、排出量を抑えるという生物模倣的なアイデアが紹介されています。自然とのつながりを取り戻し、都市を「呼吸する」持続可能な空間として考えることを呼びかける内容です。独立して運営されたTEDxイベントで、The Pupil International Schoolにて行われました。

• 自然に着想を得た技術で都市の二酸化炭素を回収する構想
• 都市建築に応用できる生物模倣的アイデアとしてのセルロース製の葉
• 都市を持続可能で「呼吸する」空間として捉え直す提案

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. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
