Abstract
Diffusion of novel digital technologies along with major social innovation trends are expected to bring about changes on the demand-side that roll-out the Green Transformation (GX) in the entire socio-economy. A comprehensive evaluation of these initiatives is important in presenting the pathway to GX of society.
This seminar will discuss the role of technological progress and social innovation in realizing a GX society, including a cross-sectoral perspective.
The speakers will present the frontiers in low energy and material demand knowledge and practices based on recent work from the Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations (EDITS) network, and explore how a demand-side transition can contribute to rapid and successful climate change mitigation, while.Program
