At the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator Showcase, Arun Majumdar discussed significant global challenges like climate change and resource distribution while promoting the Doerr School of Sustainability's innovative mission. He refers to current global issues as a 'human tsunami' and expresses optimism about overcoming these challenges. Despite political hurdles, including reduced federal support for climate science, Majumdar remains hopeful, advocating time for new approaches. He emphasizes the importance of climate science for the quality of life, showing confidence in the future of sustainability efforts created by researchers and students at Stanford.
"I call this the 'human tsunami.' The earth has never seen anything like this before," said Majumdar, pointing to a population graphic while onstage at the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator Showcase.
"I sleep very well at night, and that is because I believe in the people, the mission out here and the people in the innovation that is going on. Are there changes that are going on in the federal government? Yes, there are, but I think we have to give it some time," he said.
"The quality and security of people's lives and our planet's health is dependent on our commitment to climate science and sustainability," he added, emphasizing the urgency of these issues.
"...the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability is designed to launch innovations to address the Earth's most pressing challenges, including climate change and resource distribution."
