Event: What does tech look like on a finite, post-climate change earth?

Hi @zelf Iam putting together this repository of materials that we can use to post on the event page and our edgeryders as well as our individual social media channels - to give would be participants a sense of what we are exploring. As well as entry point to join various relevant discussions already happening in different parts of the platform. I am updating it continuously but I thought it is good to post what is there already and add so we can start already…

What does tech look like on a finite, post-climate change earth?

  • How can the Internet Help the Climate? How can the Internet Help the Climate? - #17 by mattias “I definitely think that the Internet can help the climate and approach the challenge - can it right now? Not sure.”
  • A Radically New Internet - A Study on P2P Protocols and Mesh Networks: https://edgeryders.eu/t/a-radically-new-internet-a-study-on-p2p-protocols-and-mesh-networks/9802 “If mesh networks and peer-to-peer protocols are implemented, especially in combination with each other, it would be a much more durable communication infrastructure for society.”
  • How can we put humans/citizens first in our smart city policies?: How can we put humans/citizens first in our smart city policies? - #14 by matthias “Let’s call it “tiny data”. In the highly resilient society of the future, we’ll have to rely on local resources much more than now. This can be a city-level or neighborhood-level micro-grid or an off-grid house, or probably all of these to have multiple levels of redundancy. I am personally living off-grid and from that experience I can tell that good monitoring of ones energy, water, wastewater, heating and cooling systems is essential for wise resource use and proper functioning. For example, I know that I need 500-700 Wh of photovoltaics energy a day, and that I can cope with at most 10 days of gray sky in winter. That’s where IoT comes in. Network-connected sensors and an evaluation software would combine local consumption data and weather forecasts into behavior recommendations.”
