Over the last decades, the impact of this progress on the climate and Earth as a whole has become clear, leading to growing awareness and the first mitigating actions being taken. Recently, the general public is showing increased concern and demands policymakers to take more concrete measures.

This IEEE Summit on Sustainability – Vision towards 2050 will bring together leading technologists and policymakers in an attempt to develop a joint vision on the policies needed to accelerate technological development contributing to sustainability and ensure the successful deployment of these technologies.
