Sand Crisis Hackathon

[ SAND CRISIS HACKATHON ]
Sand is the 3rd most consumed natural resource after the air and water. Without radically sustainable solutions, sand may become soon a scarce ressource with severe implications on the environment, human development and urban future. 

We invite those who care about sand to join the Sand Crisis Hackathon, in order to explore radically sustainable ways to deal with sand. (english only)

The Sand Crisis Hackathon is co-organised by Geneva-Tsinghua Initiative and Open Geneva.

Discover the challenges and choose your team :

4) Communication on sand crisis
