In the coming decades, climate change will make farmers’ jobs more difficult than ever, as rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and spreading pests all take their toll on production. But agriculture is not a neutral actor: emissions from the sector account for more than 10 percent of the U.S. total, only marginally less than those from all commercial businesses and residences. Join ASP for a discussion on how innovation in agriculture—including advances in biotech, animal husbandry, soil and nutrient management, and more—can help agriculture adapt to climate change, reduce emissions, or even become a net carbon sink.
Heavy industry, including steel, cement, and chemical manufacturing account for approximately 30 percent of global carbon emissions. But, with demand for these industries projected to grow in the coming decades at the same time that scientists say that we must reach net zero, it is essential to find new approaches to cutting emissions from these industries. Please join us for the fifth installment of the Innovating Out of the Climate Crisis webinar series focused on hard to abate sectors, the role they play in global economics, and the policy and technological developments needed to facilitate climate-friendly manufacturing.
