In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Sokphalkun Out (អ៊ុត សុខផល្គុន)

Sokphalkun Out works at EnergyLab as the Clean Energy and Mobility Coordinator. People say that because we are a developing country with a devastating past, we can’t be a leader in the region and help tackle this global climate challenge. The fact that Cambodia is a developing country is an ADVANTAGE, not a disadvantage - we haven’t built our system around a centralized fossil fuel system, so we don’t have to adopt a broken system. We can build out our new system by having 100% renewable energy.
