Green technology aims to promote sustainability by meeting society's needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It seeks to curb global warming caused by human activities like fossil fuel use and deforestation by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This can be achieved through improved energy efficiency, use of renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro power, and adoption of clean technologies. The presentation provided examples of green technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric dams that generate renewable energy as well as more efficient gas turbines and green building designs.
