MIT Technology Review | The Most Important Number in the World, featuring Mike Schroepfer - ClimateTech 2023 @technologyreview | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
To avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve a livable planet, global temperature increase needs to be limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. No single technology, policy, or action will drive us to this goal, but new climate technologies present an opportunity to make the clean energy transition a reality. (Live interview from ClimateTech, October 4, 2023, produced by MIT Technology Review, @technologyreview )
Speaker: Mike Schroepfer, Partner, Gigascale Capital; Former CTO, Meta
Host: James Temple, Senior Editor for Energy, MIT Technology Review
BIOS:
Mike Schroepfer has spent 25 years building technology companies as a founder, CTO of Facebook-Meta, and head of engineering at Mozilla where he’s scaled teams from 0-30,000+ and built real world stuff like datacenters (powered by 8GW of renewable energy!), consumer hardware, and drove long term R&D in AI, AR, and VR. He’s using these skills to fund science, policy, and companies needed to fight the climate crisis.
James Temple is the senior editor for energy at MIT Technology Review. James is focused on clean energy and the use of technology to combat climate change. Previously, James was a senior director at the Verge, deputy managing editor at Recode, and columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle.
