Workshop on Climate, Society, and Technology

Huntington Room at the Beckman Center of the National Academies
June 7-8, 2011

Agenda

Background: The goal of the CCEP Phase I project on “Climate Change, Engineered Systems, and Society” is to develop conceptual and educational frameworks and networks of change agents to promote effective formal and informal education for engineering students, policymakers and the public at large. These activities should address, visibly and systematically, issues of climate and engineered systems, including issues of governance, sustainability, justice, and public engagement and trust. The goal of the workshops component of the project is to lay the foundations for the project partners—the National Academy of Engineering, Arizona State University, Boston Museum of Science, Colorado School of Mines, and University of Virginia-Charlottesville—to use in developing these frameworks and networks.

In the intersection of climate, engineered systems, and society, it is the second term in this triumvirate that provides important and under-recognized challenges and opportunities for our examination. The implications of how engineered systems interact with climate for engineers and the public must be emphasized in the project. The planning effort for this project includes two workshops: one focusing on the interactions between climate and socio-technological systems, and a second one on the educational dimensions of this interaction between climate and those systems.

The first workshop focuses primarily on issues of adaptation and mitigation for climate and engineered systems, where these systems are understood as complex socio-technical systems with significant political, cultural, economic and ethical dimensions. It also pays attention to larger scale climate interventions such as geo-engineering. The second workshop focuses on the implications for engineering and public education of incorporating the interactions between climate change and engineered systems.

The first workshop is scheduled for June 7-8, 2011; the second workshop for October 18-19, 2011. For both events, the day prior to the workshop (June 6 and October 17 respectively) consists of a project planning meeting with project members; days two and three are the public workshops.
Available members of the project team and external advisory board may meet also for a short post- workshop review just following the event.

7:30 – 8:25 Breakfast
8:25 – 8:35 Call to Order: Rachelle Hollander, NAE CEES
8:35 – 10:30 Session I: Interactions-Defining the Problems

In this opening session, speakers will present views about climate and its interaction with engineered systems understood as socio-technical systems, from the varied perspectives of their expertise and experience. The session will review the contributions that those perspectives make to identifying and understanding the problems facing engineered systems in society. Much research and many reports identify problems expected from the likely range of interactions among climate, engineered systems and societies, and some recommend solutions. More than a few consider problems of sustainability as an environmental rather than a social issue. Relatively few consider or critically explore associated issues of governance, sustainability in social contexts, justice, and public engagement and trust. In their talks, speakers are invited to explore the ways

10:45 – 1:00 Session II: Interventions-Examining the Range of
Socio-technological Responses

Adaptation? Mitigation? Geo-engineering? Other Large Scale Interventions? All of the above? Often, discussions about responding to climate change focus on one or more of these options and involve projections about potential costs and benefits. Speakers in this session will probe further on the social justice dimensions of these options, e.g., the kinds, likelihood and distribution of potential benefits, costs, risks, and harms from the range of options under discussion. Also considering issues of governance, sustainability, and public engagement and trust, the panelists should summarize and assess positions that have been taken about these interventions, their potential likelihood, and estimations of those associated consequences and their distribution. They should consider how cultural and societal norms and priorities would be likely to influence results.

Networking Educational Priorities for Climate, Engineered Systems, and Society

House of Sweden, Washington DC
October 18-19, 2011

AGENDA

Project Focus and Goals: The goal of the Climate Change Educational Partnership Phase I project on “Climate Change, Engineered Systems, and Society” is to develop a conceptual and educational framework and a network of change agents to promote effective formal and informal education for engineering students, policymakers and the public at large. The project should address, visibly and systematically, issues of climate and engineered systems, including governance, sustainability, justice, and public engagement and trust. The goal of the workshops component of the project is to lay the foundations for the project partners—the National Academy of Engineering, Arizona State University, Boston Museum of Science, Colorado School of Mines, and University of Virginia-Charlottesville—to use in developing the implementation plan for the second phase.

The project assumes that the role of engineered systems vis-à-vis climate and society provides important challenges and opportunities for formal and informal engineering education in classrooms, public forums, and science museums and centers, and those educational programs need to address both technical and societal issues. The implications of the interactions of engineered systems with climate—for engineers, engineering, and the public, must be recognized.

NAE Project Workshops: Considerable research and many reports identify problems expected from interactions among climate, engineered systems and societies; and some recommend solutions. More than a few consider problems of sustainability, as an environmental rather than a social issue. Relatively few consider or examine associated issues of governance, sustainability in social contexts, justice, and public engagement and trust. This project invites participants to explore the ways in which the separation of technical from social issues may affect the success of formal and informal educational programs and recommendations, and how to overcome the divide so as to increase the likelihood of success.

The first project workshop in June 2011 focused on the interactions among climate and social and technological systems. The upcoming workshop on October 18-19, 2011, at the House of Sweden in Washington, DC will focus on education about these interactions. The day prior to the workshop (October 17) consists of a project planning meeting with project team and external advisory board (EAB) members; days two and three are the public workshop.
Available members of the team and advisory board may meet also for a short post-workshop review just following the event.

Societies develop engineered systems to address or mediate climate-related problems, such as drought, sea-level rise or wildfire control; the mediation involves public trust, public engagement, and governance. In these efforts, societies also decide - intentionally or implicitly - questions of justice and sustainability, such as what areas will receive mediation measures, what types of measures will be used, and what levels and kinds of local impacts are tolerated.

In September 2010, the Center for Engineering, Ethics, and Society at the National Academy of Engineering began working with four other partners on a Climate Change Educational Partnership Phase I planning grant from the National Science Foundation. The project focused on defining and characterizing the societal and pedagogical challenges posed by the interactions of climate change, engineered systems and society, and identifying the educational efforts that a network could use to enable engineers, teachers, students, policymakers, and the public to meet the challenges. The project also aimed to build awareness of the complexities among a diverse set of communities affected by climate change and engineered systems and to engage the communities in addressing these challenges.

The Climate Change Educational Partnership is the summary of three workshops convened over the course of the grant on the interactions of climate change with engineered systems in society and the educational efforts needed to address them. The first workshop provided the partners with an introduction to the varied social and technical dimensions found in the relationships among climate, engineered systems, and society. The second workshop built on the common language developed in the first. It allowed the partners to expand involvement in the project to include representatives from community and tribal colleges, professional societies and business. It examined the opportunities and challenges for formal and informal education, particularly in engineering classrooms and science museums, to prepare students and citizens to address these issues. The third workshop allowed the partners to broaden further the discussion and the audience. It solicited participation from government officials, Native American tribal representatives, professional society leaders, as well as educators, artists, scientists, and engineers who are developing programs that can manage change and educate students and citizens in ways that foster their leadership skills. The Climate Change Educational Partnership will be a useful resource to engineers, educators, corporate leaders, local and regional officials, members of professional societies, and others in their efforts to understand and address the challenges of climate change and its societal impacts.
