Environment and Sustainability Cluster Technology Day 2011

In this day and age, the topic of global warming has taken centre stage and its negative impact on our lives in the coming decades should never be underestimated. The latest findings by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) revealed that energy-related CO₂ emissions in 2010 were the highest in recorded history. This is definitely a worrying trend as CO₂ is the major contributor to the greenhouse effect which gives rise to global warming.

Dramatic changes in weather patterns and the higher frequency of natural disasters such as hurricanes, droughts and flooding can also be attributed to the rise in global temperature. This detrimental effect can be slowly mitigated by properly orchestrated carbon reduction initiatives through the use of innovative technologies in areas like energy conservation, harvesting and storage. Large organisations and conglomerates have made their commitments towards this cause in what can be seen as a positive sign that the world is doing what it can in the push for sustainable technologies.

Highlights

The Environment and Sustainability Cluster Technology Day 2011 is a melting pot for organisations, associations and individuals to gather and explore the huge array of opportunities for them to do their part in combating global warming. The event focuses on different forms of technologies which have the propensity to reduce our carbon emission and help to slowly but surely eliminate the devastating greenhouse effect which is a threat to all life forms on the planet. This is also a great platform for partnerships to be forged and knowledge to be acquired and updated. Be fully aware of what you can do to save the earth and sign up for the event now!
