Providing Material Services with Less Material Production
Event - London, United Kingdom
The Royal Society runs a variety of free events for public audiences and researchers, on a wide range of topics related to science, technology, engineering, medicine, mathematics, and the history of science.
One third of the World’s energy is used to make and shape materials. Economic development correlates with material consumption, but in a climate and resource constrained future, this cannot continue. Material Efficiency – delivering material services with less material production – was part of our history, and the need to pursue it in future raises scientific, technical, economic, sociological and political challenges.
