Convergence between technological progress and sustainability is not that obvious

PARIS REINFORCE researchers have published an opinion article regarding the importance of mitigating risk to ensure our future prosperity.

In particular, Assoc. Prof. Haris Doukas, Dr. Alexandros Nikas (NTUA) and Dr. Ajay Gambhir (Imperial College London) have published the article "Convergence between technological progress and sustainability is not that obvious" in The Parliament Magazine. The article examines similarities of climate change and the coronavirus pandemic and concludes that we should learn the best lessons from the Coronavirus response, and our previous technological missteps, in order to inform our understanding of how technology can promote sustainable behaviours, without creating new paradoxes and without creating new losers.
