ICT and Sustainability

Professor Adrian Friday joins Jan and Paul to talk about the many ways technology can influence sustainability efforts – both good and bad. We discover how he came to be a Professor of Computing and Sustainability – and just what that means – why having fewer people in offices does not always result in less energy being used, and why Adrian – to Jan’s shock – is not a big fan of the Sustainable Development Goals. Plus – is beer sustainable? The answer to this question will delight the drinkers of North West England.
