PIT-UN Convening Keynote - Climate Tech: PIT or Pitfall
Channel: New America
Date: 13/12/2021

Two crucial conclusions can be reached from the recent IPCC Climate Change 2021 report: 1) Climate technologies will be crucially important in ongoing efforts to moderate climate change; and 2) Climate technologies will not be sufficient in such efforts. Our discussion explores both climate technologies and their potential contributions to the public interest from the perspectives of leading innovators in climate technology as well as leading thinkers in the governance of such technologies. By bringing such groups together, we hope that we bring a new technological dimension to the public interest technology community, as well as draw insights from PIT to apply to climate tech.
