WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.370 --> 00:00:06.530 Shreyasi Acharya: With a very brief introduction, and then give the floor to Professor Steinberger. 2 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:09.269 Shreyasi Acharya: I hope you can see the screen 3 00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:17.419 Shreyasi Acharya: alright, can you? Can anyone? Just 4 00:00:21.830 --> 00:00:22.390 Shreyasi Acharya: yes. 5 00:00:22.390 --> 00:00:23.600 Michael Dueren: You can see it. 6 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:24.890 Shreyasi Acharya: Okay, okay. 7 00:00:26.490 --> 00:00:37.340 Shreyasi Acharya: okay, great. So I will just start with a very brief introduction. So today is the 3rd day of this year, sustainable high energy Physics Conference. 8 00:00:37.490 --> 00:00:46.690 Shreyasi Acharya: So we are the organizers. I am Suroshi myself, Chandra, Moli, Jan Stefania, Vasiliki, Sukanya, and Hannah. 9 00:00:47.223 --> 00:00:59.819 Shreyasi Acharya: 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 10 00:01:01.305 --> 00:01:06.560 Shreyasi Acharya: supported this organizational efforts as well. 11 00:01:08.389 --> 00:01:18.219 Shreyasi Acharya: So we'll give a brief introduction for so for anyone who is joining us today for the 1st time a recap of the introduction. 12 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:38.409 Shreyasi Acharya: 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 America's today and tomorrow it's more catered towards 13 00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:45.620 Shreyasi Acharya: registrants from Asia, Europe, Japan, China, Oceania, Australia. 14 00:01:48.810 --> 00:02:00.219 Shreyasi Acharya: a brief plot we made for fun. So this is an online only meeting. And Jan put together this slide. So we just tried to show how much of equivalent Co. 2, 15 00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:10.169 Shreyasi Acharya: 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. 16 00:02:11.210 --> 00:02:18.020 Shreyasi Acharya: a little bit of the sustainability context. So sustainability by definition means that 17 00:02:18.410 --> 00:02:26.879 Shreyasi Acharya: we proceed in a way that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. 18 00:02:27.050 --> 00:02:36.879 Shreyasi Acharya: It has essentially 3 pillars, the environmental, social, and economic. And in this particular conference we have been focusing more on the climate 19 00:02:37.556 --> 00:02:44.489 Shreyasi Acharya: part, although we should not forget that the social and economic parts are a big part of the big sciences. 20 00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:48.487 Shreyasi Acharya: a bit of the context again. So 21 00:02:49.030 --> 00:03:15.079 Shreyasi Acharya: the very reason we have this conference. So from this graph we can see that over the last 1,000 years, more or less, the Co. 2 parts per 1 million 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. So the only 22 00:03:15.490 --> 00:03:33.209 Shreyasi Acharya: to put this to context, we just say that during the ice ages it was 4 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? 23 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.589 Shreyasi Acharya: How do we handle that? So this is the very big question. 24 00:03:37.000 --> 00:04:01.069 Shreyasi Acharya: And we have had several discussions already in the past 2 days. So we have a very good introduction on the climate emergency, the global targets, the challenges in the mitigations and the consequences. If we fail to mitigate by Professor Ruth Wood, we also have had a talk on sufficiency towards physics inspired economics and the current political scenarios 25 00:04:01.070 --> 00:04:08.989 Shreyasi Acharya: by Professor Yamina on Monday. So we have the links of the talks and the videos here. So you can go in the slides and check them. 26 00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:14.476 Shreyasi Acharya: We have also had several talks more catered towards 27 00:04:15.707 --> 00:04:19.190 Shreyasi Acharya: high energy physics and the sustainability context. 28 00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:27.276 Shreyasi Acharya: So a talk was given by Professor Kenneth Bloom on how to do particle physics in climate Emergencies. 29 00:04:28.190 --> 00:04:36.089 Shreyasi Acharya: and a very nice talk by Dr. Katerina Verneri towards sustainable design of future colliders. 30 00:04:36.430 --> 00:04:40.259 Shreyasi Acharya: We have had a great panel discussion from several 31 00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:49.710 Shreyasi Acharya: experts from triumph. Daisy Scfc. Yesterday. So all of the links are given in the slides and you can go check them anytime you want later. 32 00:04:50.540 --> 00:05:06.450 Shreyasi Acharya: 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 highlight, the initiatives that are ongoing. 33 00:05:06.940 --> 00:05:24.339 Shreyasi Acharya: 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 and try to act forward on it. 34 00:05:27.563 --> 00:05:31.396 Shreyasi Acharya: So with this, I just come to some basic 35 00:05:31.950 --> 00:05:37.199 Shreyasi Acharya: requests. So we encourage everyone to turn on their cameras when they're speaking. 36 00:05:37.787 --> 00:05:47.899 Shreyasi Acharya: We will be strict. We'll try to be strict with the timing so thankfully. We have a wonderfully packed schedule, so we hope that we can keep everyone on time. 37 00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:59.669 Shreyasi Acharya: We would request everyone to please upload their slides before their talks. We also have all of the sessions recorded, and will be uploaded as soon as possible. 38 00:06:00.260 --> 00:06:16.480 Shreyasi Acharya: So we would also request everyone to join the matter most channel. So we know that every discussion is not possible online, and we would like to keep the flow going. So kindly join the matter most channel and ask questions. And we can all participate in the discussions. Offline 39 00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:30.509 Shreyasi Acharya: a brief summary of the code of conduct. So we request everyone to mute their microphones when not speaking, and kindly raise their hand button in the zoom 40 00:06:31.020 --> 00:06:51.240 Shreyasi Acharya: room, so we can attract the attention of the chair, and we can ask you to unmute and speak. 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. 41 00:06:52.150 --> 00:06:58.549 Shreyasi Acharya: We kindly thank our sponsors, and I will not go into too much of details just in the interest of time. 42 00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:07.600 Greg Hallewell: So finally, we come to today's agenda. It's wonderfully packed and we welcome you all to today's. 43 00:07:08.327 --> 00:07:13.800 Shreyasi Acharya: Meeting, and with this I hand over the session to 44 00:07:16.118 --> 00:07:21.422 Shreyasi Acharya: Professor Julia so I hand over the session to Stefania. Who can? 45 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.069 Shreyasi Acharya: give an introduction, and then we can start. 46 00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:27.800 Shreyasi Acharya: Thank you. 47 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.520 Stefania Juks: Okay, thank you for asking. I will try to be very short, just doing.
