Topic: Working on Environment and Climate Technology
As part of our Climate Theme Month, we invite you to join us for an engaging talk with Dawn Walker.
The term ‘climate tech’ can conjure images of breakthroughs to capture carbon from the air or plans to place data centres on the moon in the name of decarbonization. However, there is a much wider and accessible set of technologies (and projects that use them) to help us navigate the pressing climate crisis. Dawn will discuss her journey working with environment and climate technologies and the different pathways to finding a career or volunteering in this field.
