Abstract: | The problem of human-accelerated climate change is serious enough that it is inspiring a range of solutions reflecting a variety of disciplinary and professional perspectives. This talk samples the solution space and asks which proposals are ripe for implementation now as we begin the transition to a post-carbon era. Using examples of innovative buildings, settlements, energy networks, smart infrastructures, and energy production technologies, it compares their maturity, scalability, cost, and side effects. | |
