Daniel Kammen examines how the confluence of technological change and changing social dynamics have finally made clean energy, social justice, and ecological preservation mainstream topics.
Event Summary
The climate change motivation for a transition to clean energy has been clear for some time. Political differences, a lack of urgency on climate change, and a failure to engage society broadly and equitably have all contributed to the slow pace at which humanity has addressed this global crisis. In this talk, Kammen examines how the confluence of technological change and changing social dynamics have finally made clean energy, social justice, and ecological preservation mainstream topics. How and how fast we respond to this “new” reality will shape human society for the remainder of the century and beyond.
