Climate Change AI - Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning
Machine learning can play an impactful role in many strategies for reducing and responding to climate change. However, it is not a silver bullet, and should supplement (rather than divert attention from) other impactful actions to address climate change.
Lorenz Keyßer is a master student of Environmental Systems and Policy at ETH. His research focuses on climate mitigation scenarios, post- and degrowth approaches to socio-ecological problems as well as strategies to address them, such as the green new deal. In this talk, he will present his paper, 1.5° C Degrowth Scenarios Suggests the Need for New Mitigation Pathways, co-authored with Manfred Lenzen, which attempts to subvert the positive meanings associated with traditional concepts of growth. The talk will be followed by a discussion round.
ICT and sustainability – the good, the evil, and the complex
In his talk, Dr. Vlad Coroama will give a broad intro to the field of IT & sustainability, addressing in particular the direct energy/carbon footprint of computing, its indirect effects, as well as existing trade-offs and conflicting goals between the environmental and societal dimension.
