Social Science and Sustainability Technology Workshop
Fri, October 21, 2022, 9:10 AM – 4:10 PM MDT
Kittredge Central Hall Kittredge Market 2480 Kittredge Loop Drive Boulder, CO 80310
Developing and deploying new technologies will be key to decoupling the dramatic improvements of the past century in human material well-being from their environmental impacts. Developing and deploying sustainability technologies at scale is a complex social, political, and engineering challenge.
Please join us for an in-person workshop that will bring together North American thought leaders working on the social-science aspects of this challenge.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Creative Climate Communication and Behavior Change (C3BC) and the CIRES (C-SEF).
Everyone is welcome. Registration for Eventbrite tickets is free. Coffee and cookies will be provided throughout the day.
