The Social Tech Tour is a series of site visits to innovative, tech-enabled social enterprises. The main objective is ‘peer learning’: letting innovators and practitioners learn from each other. Every edition, hosts and participants will co-create a roadmap on one particular real-life challenge. This time we will be welcomed by Pauline Westendorp at an Energy Breakfast, a tasty community get-together on sustainable energy.
Are you working with tech or sustainability and are curious to learn how other actors use digital technologies for a better society?
A global rise of temperature of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels will have irremediable consequences for our planet, the latest IPCC report reveals. Many ask for an accelerated, collaborative action, stronger policies and more awareness. The <A HREF="https://ec.europa.eu/energy/en/topics/energy-strategy-and-energy-union/clean-energy-all-europeans" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">EU’s new Clean Energy Package from 2018</A> boosts the role and autonomy of citizens and energy communities in the energy transition. But what does this mean in practice? How can we - on a national and local level - design a democratic system that harvests this potential? And how can we guarantee people-powered access, ownership and use of resources and data?
This edition is dedicated to 02025, a movement by citizens in Amsterdam with the goal to reach zero CO2 emissions by 2025. The guiding question for this event is, how can citizens take a leading role in the energy transition?
