TECHNOLOGISTS AS ENABLERS OF CLIMATE ACTION

People design, build, and deploy the systems that shape our world; technology sits at the heart of it. As creators, technologists hold immense power to decide what gets built, scaled, or left behind. This evening spotlight asks: how can we build technology with people and planet in mind? How can we the technologists be the enablers of climate action. Bringing together voices from climate tech, digital innovation, and social impact, the discussion explores the ethics, agency, and responsibility of technologists in driving a just, sustainable, and regenerative future.
