“Environmental Engineering in the Context of Ecological Emergency”

Achieving climate resilience requires both climate change mitigation and adaptation. Concrete actions are essential, and it is crucial to establish the groundwork for a swift, just, feasible, and equitable transition. This transition must be supported by robust policy, standards, technical skills, finance, and collaboration. Oceans are the driver of the Climate, and, in this context, observing / measuring this medium, and gathering, formatting and distributing data is central to the understanding. The Marine “Science & Technology” community (IEEE, MTS, …) is proposing clean-tech approaches for climate sustainability.

This panel will discuss the pros & cons of leveraging technology for sustainable developments: clean-tech focus (description, examples), consequences (expected or unintended), bottom-up developments and priorities vs top-down directives, etc.
