THEME: AIR POLLUTION

The sky is no longer a canvas – it’s a code-red alert. Decades of atmospheric decay have rendered urban environments toxic, with wide-reaching health, environmental, and economic consequences.

Carbon dioxide is one of the key greenhouse gases that drives climate change globally. High levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere can be largely attributed to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion from vehicles and deforestation.

Humanity’s future depends on a new wave of technology.

Autonomous aerial drones and bio-inspired ground bots will work together to purify polluted air, nurture self-sustaining green corridors, and collect vital environmental data — building innovative, resilient urban ecosystems that promote cleaner air, thriving green spaces, and healthier communities.

This network of intelligent machines will rewrite the atmosphere’s code, ushering in a new age of breathable, resilient, and thriving cities. This marks the dawn of a new civilization, where technology and nature work in tandem to reverse the damage and create a lasting legacy of clean air for generations to come.
