Tech Aspirations

Introduction        Climate technology encompasses the technologies and innovations designed to mitigate and adapt to climate change. If poor technology choices have been one cause of the climate crisis, can climate technology be a solution? That is, at least, the hope for climate technologies. Since the Industrial Revolution, technological advancements powered by fossil fuels have increased the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. These increased levels of GHG in the atmosphere are driving changes in our climate, bringing extreme heat, droughts, sea-level rise, and unpredictable weather events with potentially disastrous effects for humanity. Climate technology aim to better our ability to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. For example, renewable energy and carbon capture/storage technologies reduce C0 2 in our atmosphere. At the same time, technologies such as sea wall defences and improved weather warning system ma...

 Introduction           Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that securely stores records across a network of computers in a way that is transparent, immutable, and resistant to tampering. Each ˝block˝ contains data, and blocks are linked in a chronological ˝Chain˝. A blockchain is a disturbed databased or ledger shared across a computer network’s nodes. They are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions, but they are not limited to cryptocurrency uses. Blockchains can be used to make data in any industry immutable meaning it cannot be altered. Since a block can’t be changed, the only trust needed is at the point where a user or program enters data. This reduces the need for trusted third parties, such as auditors or other humans, who add costs and can make mistakes. Since Bitcoin’s introduction in 2009, blockchain uses have exploded via the creation of various crypto...

Introduction           Green technology also known as clean technology, refers to environmentally, friendly technologies and practices aimed at minimizing negative impacts on the environment. It encompasses a wide range of products, services and practices that support a more sustainable future. Often known as “green tech” the concept is gaining attention at the word seeks ways to address climate change. The creators of green technology use scientific knowledge and innovation to help conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of renewable energy. Green technology solution is meant to be sustainable; they are designed to meet their own needs. They should limit environmental impact in various ways, including the use of renewable energy sources and a focus on energy efficiency. Green tech strategies consider the entire lifecycle of a product or service, from raw material extraction to end -of-life disposal. Their proponents aim...
