Seeing the Big Picture: Climate Action Tech with En-ROADS Simulator
Join us for an insightful discussion to gain a systemic understanding of driving climate action within the tech sector.
En-ROADS is a tool created by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan. It offers a powerful platform to explore various scenarios and interventions aimed at limiting global temperature rise and mitigating climate change. This event will leverage the simulator to facilitate a discussion around Climate Action Tech, specifically focusing on bringing sustainability and efficiency into the technological sector. We'll use the concepts of systems thinking to understand this reality.
Why is this crucial? The tech industry has a significant environmental footprint – from energy-intensive data centers to the lifecycle of electronic devices. We need innovative technological solutions to:
Reduce the carbon intensity of our digital world.
Optimize energy consumption in data centers and computing.
Promote sustainable hardware design and manufacturing.
Understand the impact of tech choices on overall climate goals.
During this session, we will:
Introduce the En-ROADS simulator and its capabilities.
Explore key technological interventions for climate action in the tech industry.
Analyze different scenarios and their potential outcomes.
Discuss practical steps individuals and organizations can take to drive sustainability within tech.
This event is for anyone passionate about the intersection of technology and climate action – including:
Tech professionals
Sustainability experts
Investors
Policy makers
Students
Let's explore how we can harness the power of innovation to make tech sustainable.
The En-ROADS Climate Solutions workshop was designed by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan.
