CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in
temperatures and weather patterns. These
shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s,
human activities have been the main driver
of climate change, primarily due to the
burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil and gas),
which produces heat-trapping gases
ENERGY CRISIS
Energy markets began to tighten in 2021
because of a variety of factors, including
the extraordinarily rapid economic
rebound following the pandemic. But the
situation escalated dramatically into a full-
blown global energy crisis following
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February
2022.
How does climate change in S&T:
As technology has advanced, so has the
number of tech gadgets made available
to consumers. This increases energy
consumption – directly leading to more
fossil fuels being burned. Modern planes,
cars, trains and ships have made it
possible for us to travel all around the
world.
How does climate change can cause energy crisis?
Climate change directly affects fuel supply, energy
production as well as the physical resilience of
current and future energy infrastructure. Heatwaves
and droughts are already putting existing energy
generation under stress, making it even more
important to reduce fossil fuel emissions
How does science society and technology
concepts apply to the issue of climate change?
Science underpins the global
consensus on the need for action. New
technologies and effective innovation
policies will help spur low-carbon
innovation, support the creation of new
low-carbon business models, and help
in phasing out polluting ones.
The Role of Science and Technology in Climate Change and Natural Disaster
Mitigation and Adaptation
Scientific discussions on the nature and causes underlying the climate
change and natural disasters have intensified recently. The United Nation’s
Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] was formed to provide
an assessment of global climate change. IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report
released in 2007 linked the warming over the past 30 years, approximately
0.7 C to anthropogenic green house gases, particularly CO2. At the UN’s
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), countries have been
debating possible carbon emission targets to minimize future adverse
impact of changing climate on human societies. Beyond all these efforts,
the role of science and technology for climate change mitigation and
adaptation is an important topic for the scientists, the technologists, and
other experts especially for those who pay heed in this global issue.
Role of Science, Technology and Innovation in
addressing Climate Change
Climate change is a global concern that not only
impacts the environment, but also the economic
growth. The impact is more pronounced on the
poor as they are more susceptible to damages, have
greater exposure to climate hazards and are less able
to cope up with these damages. These factors make it
a major governance issue as well. Reduction of
carbon emission is a single-fold response that can
help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
TECHNOLOGY'S INFLUENCE ON CLIMATE
CHANGE
Technological advancements have had a major impact on climate change - in
both positive and negative ways. Learn about how technology has affected
global warming now.
Technology has played an interesting role throughout history with respect to
climate change. It’s first major impact was in the 1880s during the Second
Industrial Revolution – also known as the Technological Revolution – when
coal was first used to generate electricity for homes and factories.
At the time, this advancement was filled with only hope, but as we’ve seen, it
has come with consequences. Early technological advancements in the 1800s
helped people power homes and businesses – yet, at the same time, lead to
more carbon emissions.

Technology has played an interesting role throughout

impact was in the 1880s during the Second Industrial
Revolution – also known as the Technological
Revolution – when coal was first used to generate
electricity for homes and factories.
How technology has been both instrumental and
detrimental to climate change
We live in the most advanced time in technological innovation.
Unfortunately though, early technological advancements were
hardly environmentally conscious. Coal was first used in the
1880s, but on a minor scale. However, by 1961, it had become the
primary fossil fuel used to generate electricity, per the U.S.
Department of Energy.
Thanks to scientists we have been able to uncover the harsh
impact of burnt fossil fuels. Unfortunately though, we still use
coal and natural gas to generate electricity. As technology has
advanced, so has the number of tech gadgets made available to
consumers. This increases energy consumption – directly leading
to more fossil fuels being burned.
How the future of technology can positively
influence climate change
A recent scientific report that was issued by 13 federal agencies,
shows the critical state of climate change. The 1,656 page report
lays out the effects that climate change will continue to have on
society.
According to the New York Times, “Climate change could slash up
to a tenth of gross domestic product by 2100, more than double
the losses of the Great Recession a decade ago.” To sustain our
economy, we need to depend on more renewable forms of
technology, so that we can limit the burning of fossil fuels.
How can technology help in the energy
crisis?
They can enable the development and
maintenance of smart grids, leading to
faster power restoration and outage
reversal. These data-driven
representations of physical systems can
also use IoT sensors and analytics to
manage assets and resources while
improving performance.
What is the impact of technology on energy?
One of the most significant impacts
that technology has had in the
growth of the energy sector is in
assisting the discovery of energy
reserves: – Exploration of gas,
coal, and oil are good examples of
the impact that technology has on
the process.
What are the solutions to energy
crisis?
Unlike fossil fuels, some energy
sources are totally renewable, and
do not emit greenhouse gases.
These clean and sustainable
alternative energy solutions
include solar energy, hydropower,
wind energy, geothermal energy
and biomass energy.
