MIT ILP WEBINAR: A broad overview of sustainability at MIT, including a talk by Sergey Paltsev on the Joint Program
Overview
Here at MIT, sustainability can mean many things. New materials for everything from electronics to infrastructure which are both functional and kind to the environment. “Green” government and corporate policies which regulate energy and greenhouse gas production. Innovative urban planning for a city of the future which is efficient, but also accessible and abundant. Whether stated in economic, environmental, social, or technological terms, sustainability is the capacity to endure – to consume, grow, and thrive – but not to be consumed and perish in the process. Join us for this two-part webinar series which explores how MIT and its community of researchers and corporate members are leading the way in sustainability research.
Part 1: Sustainability Research at MIT
This webcast is a broad overview of sustainability research at MIT. Fields include: materials science, energy, recycling, economic policy, urban planning.
This webcast will be followed by an Interactive Discussion for ILP Members-only webinar on March 11.
