Lunch & Learn - The Blind Spots in Tech's Sustainability Narrative

Expand your view on the corporate sustainability by discovering novel ways for your organization to give back to relate to systemic challenges like the climate crisis.

Overview

Traditionally, carbon emissions have been used as the primary and unified method for measuring climate impact. While carbon emissions are a useful and critical measuring tool, they miss some of the complexities of the climate crisis. Many technical professionals do not have the time or academic background to confidently identify alternative metrics to measure environmental / social impact. This session will teach participants the basics of going beyond this way of thinking.

Session Outcomes

• Educate on the limitations of carbon emissions as a sole metric.
• Develop methods for creating alternative socio-environmental impact metrics.
• Strengthen your team’s sense of purpose and autonomy in addressing the climate crisis (polycrisis).
