Global climate change has shaken up our energy and economic systems. The fossil fuels, which helped us through the last century , starting with coal and followed by oil and gas have led to accumulation of 1500 billion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere and disturbed the earth's ecosystem balance significantly. It includes hydro cycle, temperature rise, oceans warming and hence ocean currents,...
We live in a climate emergency and consequently all countries are putting in place measures to reduce their carbon emissions in order to reach a so-called “net zero emissions” by 2050. All aspects of economic life will be affected by such measures, including particle physics research. I will present some examples of sources of carbon emissions within the field of particle physics. This will...
From genetic studies and astrophysics simulations to AI, scientific computing has enabled amazing discoveries and there is no doubt it will continue to do so. However, the corresponding environmental impact is a growing concern in light of the urgency of the climate crisis, so what can we all do about it? Tackling this issue and making it easier for scientists to engage with sustainable...
Future accelerators must be assessed for sustainability during their life cycle, including construction, operation, and decommissioning, to meet the global goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Accelerator scientists should strive to achieve performance with less electric power in the optical design phase of accelerators, and to improve power efficiency during the design and manufacture of...
Whereas Energy and Energy Transitions are typically approached from a Technological Science and Physics perspective, it is increasingly acknowledged that these topics have a very strong Social Science component as well. For instance, in many cases developments in energy and energy transitions have consequences for people and society, and people's perceptions of these developments have a...
Since the dawn of human social organization, the practice of science and engineering has been the primary defense against the forces of Nature that has allowed for the progress of civilizations. Yet the same progress has allowed for the unchecked growth of the burden on natural resources and the destabilization of the fragile balance on which the continuation of living forms, as we know them...
