Climate change is harming the planet's environment. To solve this problem, we need to change the way we obtain and use energy. We need to make our use of energy sustainable. This means it can continue for generations to come.
Renewable energy is a cleaner and more sustainable way of powering our homes. Technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines are continually improving. Engineers are finding new ways to make them more effective. Some are using biomimicry by looking to living things for design ideas.
In 2015, the United Nations agreed on 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals aim to end poverty, protect the planet and improve lives. Countries need to work together to meet these goals. Renewable energy fits into many of the Sustainable Development Goals. For example, Goal 7 is to provide access to cheaper and cleaner energy.
Biomimicry is when engineers and scientists take inspiration from nature to solve problems. In this challenge, you want to improve a device that harnesses energy from moving water.
propose improvement to a device that harness energy from moving water and inspiration is taken from plants and animals (biomimicry).
