Sequestro de carbono urbano | Riya T A | TEDxThe Pupil International School Youth

Riya T A, uma estudante de 13 anos, explica como tecnologias inspiradas na natureza podem ajudar as cidades a capturar dióxido de carbono e reduzir a poluição. Ela apresenta ideias bioinspiradas, como as folhas celulósicas, que poderiam ser incorporadas à arquitetura urbana para diminuir as emissões. A palestra incentiva a reconexão com a natureza e a imaginação de cidades sustentáveis. Foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente.

• Captura de CO2 urbano inspirada na natureza
• Folhas celulósicas como ideia para a arquitetura urbana
• Cidades sustentáveis repensadas

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.
