SYMPOSIUM – THE TECHNOLOGICAL DILEMMA : EXPLOIT WITHOUT RUIN

November 15, 2023 | 12-2pm ET | online

The fight against climate change seems to be turning into a frantic race for technology, leaving little room for reflection on the exploitation of resources and the deployment of efficient technologies that already exist.

At the 2023 Trottier Symposium, we’ll be asking how we can harness our resources for a sustainable future, without leaving behind a depleted world. Join us in this essential reflection.

On November 15, Philippe Bihouix (engineer and essayist) and Sofia Kabbej (Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques) will join Normand Mousseau (IET) to debate the place of technology in achieving climate goals. The presentations will be followed by discussion and question periods, offering a collective opportunity to advance our thinking.

It’s high time to pause and reflect on how we can use technology effectively and responsibly. At the risk of surprising you: not all innovation is beneficial or indispensable.

Join us for this thought-provoking symposium on the place of technology in our society and its contribution to the fight against climate change.
