SUMMARY:The Climate Emergency: can Particle Physics ever be sustainable? -

CONTACT:William Fawcett
DESCRIPTION:We live in a climate emergency and consequently\, all countrie
 s are putting in place measures to reduce their carbon emissions in order 
 to reach a so-called “net zero emissions” by 2050. All aspects of econ
 omic life will be affected by such measures\, including particle physics r
 esearch. I will present some examples of sources of carbon emissions withi
 n the field of particle physics. This will include emissions associated wi
 th building and running accelerators\, detector operations\, high-performa
 nce computing and activities associated with our research life like travel
 . I will also present solutions being developed for addressing this in the
  near and long term as well as recommendations for the field.
