Caesar Jung Harada

Cesar Jung-Harada is a French-Japanese designer, environmentalist, educator, and entrepreneur, passionate about ocean technology, impact innovation, and education based in Singapore. Cesar is currently a candidate Ph.D. in Design and Ocean Innovation at the CNAM (France), Founder of MakerBay LTD (Hong Kong Makerspace), and Scoutbots LTD (Ocean Robotic Startup). Cesar serves as a Trustee of the board of HBKU (Qatar), the Wyng Foundation (Hong Kong), and regularly delivers workshops and keynotes at international conferences in places such as the UN, Harvard or TED.

Cesar spearheads the "Climate Data Safe" initiative, a project to preserve climate data. As climate change increasingly shapes our environment, health, and economies, it has become a politically charged issue. Some regions have witnessed censorship of global warming discussions, defunding of climate science, and destruction of critical climate data. “Climate Data Safe” aims to decentralise climate data, making it more accessible, reliable, and sustainable for the future. The initiative operates under Safecast, a Citizen Science NGO that gained recognition for empowering communities to monitor radioactivity following the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
