WEBVTT 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:23.000 Can anyone just… 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:30.000 Okay, okay. Okay, great. So I will just start with a very brief introduction. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.000 So today is the third day of this year's Sustainable High Energy Physics Conference. 00:00:37.000 --> 00:01:00.000 So we are the organizers. I am Siroshi myself, Chandra Moli, Jan, Stefania, Vasiliki, Sukanya, and Hannah We tried to put together this this year's conference and you can get us at this particular email address And also additional thanks to Bryce Ellis and Luca who have 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:08.000 Supported this. Organizational efforts as well. 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:18.000 So we'll give a brief introduction for anyone who is joining us today for the first time, a recap of the introduction. 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:32.000 So we have over 200 registrants over 37 countries. We try to keep this conference time zone friendlier. So Monday and Tuesdays were more time zone friendly for North and South Americas. 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:43.000 Today and tomorrow, it's more catered towards registrants from Asia, Europe. 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:51.000 Japan channel, Oceania, Australia. Um… A brief plot we made for fun. 00:01:51.000 --> 00:02:10.000 So this is an online only meeting and Jan put together this slide So we just tried to show how much of equivalent CO2 we can reduce when we have an online meeting versus if we were to travel, for example, to Geneva to have this meeting. So this is just a fun plot for us. 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:25.000 A little bit of the sustainability context. So sustainability by definition means that We proceed in a way that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations. 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.000 To meet their own needs. It has essentially three pillars, the environmental, social, and economic. 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:45.000 And in this particular conference, we have been focusing more on the climate part, although we should not forget that the social and economic parts are a big part of the big sciences. 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:59.000 A bit of the context again. So… The very reason we have this conference. So from this graph we can see that over the last thousand years, more or less, the CO2 parts per million. 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:13.000 Have been below a certain threshold and ever since the Industrial Revolution, there has been a steep increase And we always hear the 1.5 term of like it's the global average temperature has increased 1.5. 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:33.000 So to put this to context, we just say that during the ice ages it was four degrees cooler so if according to the current predictions we see that in the next 70 years the temperature will go up to around 2 or 3 degrees then what 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.000 How do we handle that? So this is the very big question. 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:45.000 And we have had several discussions already in the past two days. So we have a very good introduction on the climate emergency. 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:51.000 The global targets, the challenges in the mitigations and the consequences if we fail to mitigate. 00:03:51.000 --> 00:04:01.000 By Professor Ruth Wood. We also have had a talk on sufficiency towards physics inspired economics and the current political scenarios. 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:09.000 By Professor Yamina on Monday. So we have the links of the talks and the videos here so you can So in the slides and check them. 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:19.000 We have also had several talks more catered towards high energy physics and the sustainability context. 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:26.000 So talk was given by Professor Kenneth Bloom on how to do particle physics in climate emergencies. 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:36.000 And a very nice talk by Dr. Katerina Vernieri towards sustainable design of future colliders. 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:48.000 We have had a great panel discussion from several experts from Triumph Daisy SDFC yesterday. So all of the links are given in the slides and you can go check them anytime. 00:04:48.000 --> 00:05:03.000 You want later. So the basic goal of this conference is to increase the awareness of the impact of high energy physics on the environment, discuss the intersections of HEP and climate crisis. 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:21.000 Highlight the initiatives that are ongoing So we have several submitted talks today, later in the day and tomorrow. So we will know what people are putting effort into and at the end we want to have a takeaway message which is positive 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.000 And try to act forward on it. 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:37.000 So with this, I just come to some basic requests so we encourage everyone to turn on their cameras when they're speaking. 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:44.000 We will try to be strict with the timing so thankfully we have a wonderfully packed schedule. 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:53.000 So we hope that we can keep everyone on time. We would request everyone to please upload their slides before their talks. 00:05:53.000 --> 00:06:00.000 We also have all of the sessions recorded and will be uploaded as soon as possible. 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:17.000 So we would also request everyone to join the Mattermost channel. So we know that every discussion is not possible online and we would like to keep the flow going. So kindly join the Mattermost channel and ask questions and we can all participate in the discussions offline. 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:25.000 A brief summary of the code of conduct. So we request everyone to mute their microphones when not speaking. 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:39.000 And kindly raise their hand button in the zoom So we can attract the attention of the chair and we can ask you to unmute and speak. 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:52.000 And of course, we request everyone to treat everyone with courtesy kindness and professionalism and of course be sensitive towards the many, many distressing things that are ongoing in the world. 00:06:52.000 --> 00:07:00.000 We kindly thank our sponsors and I will not go into too much of details just in the interest of time. 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:14.000 So finally, we come to today's agenda. It's wonderfully packed and we welcome you all to today's meeting and with this, I hand over the session to the session. 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:25.000 Professor Julia. So I hand over the session to Stefania who can um give an introduction. 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.000 And then we can start. Thank you. 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.000 Okay.
