rAs 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

🌎The human dimension: ensuring social sustainability alongside technological advancement

🌎Balancing rapid innovation with responsible implementation and equitable access

Drawing on diverse expert perspectives, this event will provide a critical examination of how we can maximize the benefits of emerging climate technologies while minimizing harm. We'll explore multiple approaches to responsible innovation, from biomimetic design to social impact assessment, ensuring that our technological solutions support both environmental and social sustainability.
