Sustainability and Equality in Technology By the end of this lesson you will: 1.Be aware of some of the ways in which technology can be used to address climate change though energy generation. 2.Understand the benefits and costs of using Microgeneration and MicroCHP to effectively meet energy needs. 3.Begin to consider the sustainability of technology.

2. Recap: What is Microgeneration? What is Micro CHP? Are these sustainable? ‘Assess the potential of microgeneration and microCHP technologies to sustainably meet future energy needs and tackle climate change’

3. The Sustainability Quadrant

4. Equality and Technology Two huge challenges face the world: –Climate change: Technology and changing attitudes need to be applied to reduce emissions to a sustainable level to avoid an environmental crisis. –Development: Technology and resources are needed urgently to help alleviate poverty, health, illiteracy and food security issues in LEDCs to avoid a humanitarian crisis. Are there any issues in trying to meet these two disparate challenges?

5. Models of Technological Development: Increasing Equity? There are four models for developing technology: –Business as usual –Technological Convergence –Energy Efficiency –Technology Transfer TASK: Use pages 197-202 to define and exemplify each of these options for the future development of technology. Include FACTS and DETAIL.

6. Summary: –WHICH IS THE BEST OPTION? WHY? –WHICH IS THE MOST LIKELY OPTION?

7. Independent Study Complete the work from today’s lesson and ensure you have last lessons case study completed and printed out for your file. Look out for news stories about technology and print them out/bring them in. Update your glossary sheet – it should be complete now. Any outstanding homework pieces need to be in ASAP the exam is FAST approaching. NEXT LESSON we will be doing a practice synoptic task to prepare for the exam, so make a start on REVISION – 60% in Jan remember.
