Presented by Stadt Zürich:

1. Culture of Change: How can culture and art inspire climate action?
   The challenge is to use creative expressions to raise awareness, promote behavioural changes, and foster a collective commitment to sustainability.
2. Flying Less? Easy! How do we turn land-based travel into the new normal?
   The challenge is to develop innovative solutions that make land-based travel more attractive, sustainable, and practical, ultimately encouraging a shift away from flying.

   This challenge invites participants to develop innovative, citizen-focused solutions that help Zurich's residents respond and adapt to extreme heat.
