About this Event
Part II: Responsible technology and the climate emergency
Sectors like energy, transport and defence urgently need to be decarbonised to tackle the climate emergency. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, several industries have engaged in rapid conversion projects to aid health services, build breathing devices and make protective equipment. This has led to a debate around redesigning the economy to be more friendly to people and nature. What are the new opportunities for industrial conversion and how quickly can they be made to happen?
Speakers include:
- Dr Lucy Gilliam, Transport & Environment
- Prof Nick Robins, Grantham Institute, London School of Economics
- Dr Philip Johnstone, University of Sussex
- Alice Bell, Possible
- Dr Stuart Parkinson, Scientists for Global Responsibility
