About the event
As the world grapples with the accelerating impacts of climate change, it's clear that technological innovation will be crucial to driving meaningful emissions reductions. But are we harnessing these new technologies in a responsible and sustainable way?
This panel discussion will explore both the promise and perils of using advanced technologies to combat the climate crisis. Our expert speakers will delve into various aspects of technological innovation and its impacts, including:
🌎The environmental costs and social impacts of mining rare earth minerals needed for renewable energy and other green tech
🌎 Breakthroughs in renewable energy, carbon capture, and other climate solutions - and the potential tradeoffs or unintended consequences
🌎The role of AI in climate modeling, mitigation strategies, and decision-making - and the risks of bias and privacy concerns
🌎Biomimetism as a pathway to responsible technology use - learning from nature's efficient, sustainable systems to develop better solutions
