Taipei School of Economics and Political Science is honored to invite the Nobel Laureate in Physics, the 12th U.S. Secretary of Energy, and William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Physics at Stanford University, Professor Steven Chu, to give a lecture on the topic of achieving net-zero emissions.
Throughout human history, multiple industrial and agricultural revolutions that have profoundly transformed the world. However, the unintended consequence of these revolutions is that the greenhouse gas emissions are changing Earth’s climate. Most of our energy sources and many of the materials we use are based on fossil-fuel. The challenges how to provide clean energy, water, air, food in a world of over 8 billion people and likely to grow to 11 billion by 2100 are formidable. After a brief summary of our current trajectory, Prof Chu will discuss the current progress, opportunities and challenges needed to achieve net-zero greenhouse emissions.
