Sustainable and equitable policies on emerging technologies

Climate change, scarce space, energy crisis, polarization are increasingly large and complex societal challenges. Emerging technologies could offer a solution, if well implemented. This requires new policies aimed at a broad set of societal goals. This session explains the European policy paradigm shift towards sustainable and equitable policies that focus on welfare beyond GDP. European research on mobility transition, energy poverty and population groups and their relations with emerging technologies are discussed. The studies expose underlying public values as well as ethical perspectives.
