About the presentation

Join us for a lively lunchtime chat about the highs and lows of climate tech. We'll dive into whether climate tech can really save the world, what’s fuelling its growth, and the tricky role of new environmental commodities. Climate tech has its ups and downs, and we’ll tackle those head-on, including how new data technologies, like AI, might be adding to emissions. We’ll dive into some of the work Adam is doing on distributed data management for the climate, the personal challenges that individuals and communities are facing in climate tech, and the ways we can overcome them. You'll walk away with a clear picture of what's driving climate tech and its real-world impact. Don’t miss this chance to get the lowdown on the future of climate solutions - join us on August 21 online!

The presentation will be followed by a live audience Q&A hosted by A/Prof Ben Neville, Co-Director at Melbourne Climate Futures.
