NOW IT IS TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM!

How will we tackle the global climate crisis?

Planetary Boundaries:
Exploring the Safe Operating Space for Humanity

A group of academics led by Johan Rockström and Will Steffen has published a article called "Planetary Boundaries: Exploring the Safe Operating Space for Humanity."

In the article, 9 critical thresholds such as carbon emission and melting of glaciers, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, ocean acidification were mentioned. Crossing these 9 critical thresholds risks creating large-scale and irreversible environmental changes. Moreover, exceeding a threshold can increase the likelihood that other parts of the system will also cross the critical threshold, with a domino effect. At the point we have reached by 2022, we have exceeded 4 of the 9 thresholds that regulate stability in the world and ensure our survival. Here, with this simplified scientific model, “Where do we start the fight against the climate crisis?” We have found the answer to the question.

We dream of the day when the world won't need us!

as ecording; We have shaped our 2030 - 2050 goals and our fight against the global climate crisis, within the framework of these 9 critical thresholds, by developing sustainable, innovative and technological solutions in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

What is ecording?

ecording is a social enterprise that develops sustainable and innovative environmental technologies against the global climate crisis.

Why was ecording established, and what is it aiming for?

Established in 2017, ecording aims to bring solutions that can create change and impact through the butterfly effect to humanity through innovative technologies, and to support the fight against the climate crisis in the world by using the power of technology.

How will we tackle the global climate crisis?

A group of academics led by Johan Rockström and Will Steffen, “Planetary Borders: Searching for a Safe Space for Humanity” scientific article named. Within the framework of the article, 9 critical thresholds in the climate crisis were mentioned. 

 

These include climate change (carbon emissions and melting glaciers), deforestation and land-use change, loss of biodiversity, consumption and cycle of fresh water, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles (food production), ocean acidification, chemical pollution, atmospheric aerosols, and stratospheric ozone depletion. 

 

According to the article, exceeding nine critical thresholds carries the risk of creating large-scale and irreversible environmental changes. In addition, exceeding one threshold can increase the possibility of other parts of the system exceeding their critical thresholds, in a domino effect. 

 

As of 2022, we have exceeded four of the nine thresholds mentioned. These are climate change (melting glaciers and carbon emissions), deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and nitrogen and phosphorus cycles (food). Along with the fresh water cycle, these five thresholds that regulate stability and support our survival on earth are critical, and fortunately, we are not yet at a critical threshold for the fresh water cycle, but we are very close! 

 

We have found the answer to the question of ‘Where do we start in the fight against the climate crisis?’ with this simplified scientific model. We set our 2030 and 2050 goals based on the positivist research of scientists. Our fight against the climate crisis within the framework of these 9 critical thresholds and in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals; We continue with the mission of developing sustainable, innovative and technological solutions.

What are ecording's areas of work?

In 2018, we started developing ecoDrones to prevent deforestation and biodiversity loss. With ecoDrones, the unmanned aerial vehicles we have developed, we aimed to support forestation and biodiversity studies in the world by using technology by shooting seed balls in hard-to-reach areas. 

 

In 2021, we focused on reducing carbon emissions and developed ecordingApp. In ecordingApp, we aimed to ensure that environmentally friendly activities that people can implement in their daily lives turn into a habit with a reward system, with tasks for the benefit of the world. Our main motivation was to show people the tremendous change we can create individually, even with a 1% carbon footprint reduction per year, and to present that we actually have the solution through our actions.

 

Our fight against the climate crisis, which started with ecoDrones and continues with ecordingApp, is within the framework of critical thresholds constituting the borders of our planet until 2030. 4 We will support you with alternative technologies that we will develop. From 2030 to 2050, together with all our stakeholders, we are determined to repair the damage caused by the climate crisis in our world.
