【Special Session ⭐️ 2022 ECRs in Sustainability Science 12】Taipei-Canada Hubs Collaboration: Digital Sustainability

Early Career Researchers (ECR) working group of Future Earth Taipei is looking for wider collaboration with ECRs in other global hubs (Africa, Canada, China, France, Japan, South Asia, Sweden, USA) - let ECRs share their research outcomes in relation to sustainability and climate change.

★ In this short talk ———

🇹🇼 Dr. Milan Chen - Leapfrogging to a greener future: identifying the drivers and barriers of digital sustainability in Taiwan 探究台灣數位永續的困難與挑戰
▌Is digital technology a source of emissions, or does it offer solutions to the climate change crisis? The answer could be both. This seminar explores how digital innovations could help reshape climate governance and energy transition. It invites Dr. Pierre Chuard and Dr. Milan Chen, as well as the participants, to discuss and identify potential opportunities and barriers.

🇨🇦 ☆ Dr. Pierre Chuard - Digitally-enabled innovations have the potential to rapidly reshape climate governance
▌Rapid societal transformations are required to keep global average temperature rise well below two degrees Celsius by 2050. An increasingly diverse set of initiatives are leveraging digital technologies to transform society. Given the rapid pace at which these initiatives emerge and the accelerated rate of technological innovation, few connections are made as to their common approaches and motivations, especially in the global south. To address this, we developed a database of such initiatives from around the world. We propose a categorization of four types of strategies: data mobilization, optimization of existing strategies, incentivizing and automating behavioural change, and enhancing participation and empowerment of individuals. We analyse connections between types of strategies through the lens of the Earth System Governance framework’s original 5 A’s – Architecture, Agency, Adaptiveness, Accountability, and Allocation & Access. This work provides a first step towards understanding how digitally-enabled initiatives are contributing to re-imagining climate governance.

🔱 台灣與加拿大 ECRs 首次聯合對講!!!2022 第 12 場 ECR 線上短講———

數位科技是二氧化碳排放源?還是氣候變遷的解決方案?答案可能是兩者。本次研討會探討了科技創新如何幫助重塑氣候治理和能源轉型,並邀請 Pierre Chuard 博士、陳米蘭博士,以及與會人士就數位科技和永續發展的潛在機會和困難進行討論。
