【公告】諾貝爾物理學獎得主要來清大了！12/17 下午2:00-4:00 歡迎踴躍參加！

諾貝爾物理學獎得主、第12任美國能源部長、史丹佛大學William R. Kenan Jr. 物理學講座教授朱棣文院士(Steven Chu)要來清大了！

台北政經學院非常榮幸邀請到朱院士以「實現淨零排放之機遇與挑戰」作為主題進行演講，非常鼓勵大家來參加這難得的機會！

➤ 講者：Steven Chu (朱棣文) (William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Physics, Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology and of Energy Science and Engineering, Stanford University)

➤ 演講題目：實現淨零排放之機遇與挑戰 (英文演講)

➤ 講座介紹：綜觀人類歷史，數次工業與農業革命深刻地轉變了世界格局。然而，這些革命的意外後果（unintended consequence）是溫室氣體排放正在改變地球的氣候。人類的主要能源來源及所使用之材料至今仍然大量依賴化石燃料。如何為地球上的80億人口——預估到2100年將成長至110億——提供乾淨的能源、水、空氣和食物，是一項巨大的挑戰。本場講座，朱棣文院士將在簡要回顧人類社會的發展軌跡後，探討實現淨零溫室氣體排放的當前進展、機遇與挑戰。

Taipei School of Economics and Political Science is honored to invite the Nobel Laureate in Physics, the 12th U.S. Secretary of Energy, and William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Physics at Stanford University, Professor Steven Chu, to give a lecture on the topic of achieving net-zero emissions.

➤ Speaker：Steven Chu (朱棣文) (William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Physics, Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology and of Energy Science and Engineering, Stanford University)

➤ Lecture Title：The Challenges in Getting to Net-Zero GHG Emissions (conducted in English)

➤ Lecture Introduction：Throughout human history, multiple industrial and agricultural revolutions that have profoundly transformed the world. However, the unintended consequence of these revolutions is that the greenhouse gas emissions are changing Earth’s climate. Most of our energy sources and many of the materials we use are based on fossil-fuel. The challenges how to provide clean energy, water, air, food in a world of over 8 billion people and likely to grow to 11 billion by 2100 are formidable. After a brief summary of our current trajectory, Prof Chu will discuss the current progress, opportunities and challenges needed to achieve net-zero greenhouse emissions.
