‘Climate and Energy:

How Science and Technology can help us develop sustainably’

by

Prof. Ambuj Sagar,

Indian Institute of Technology,

Delhi.

Abstract:

India and many other developing countries face urgent developmental imperatives while also facing sustainability challenges that are no less urgent.  While it is clear that science and technology (S&T) can play a role in addressing these challenges, a key question is how to best leverage it do so?  How could science and technology activities be organized - domestically and internationally - for greater effectiveness?  Using the case of climate and energy, this talk will present some thoughts on this issue as well as discuss some current emerging approaches.

Speaker:

Prof. Ambuj Sagar is Vipula and Mahesh Chaturvedi Professor of Policy Studies at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.

All are welcome.
