The Big Switch

Newington College

Critical Thinking and Ethics 2022 program

Newington College's Critical Thinking and Ethics Centre presents a program of public lectures that explore a wide range of issues from a variety of perspectives.

Climate change is a planetary emergency. We have to do something now – but what? Australian visionary Saul Griffith has a plan. In The Big Switch, Griffith lays out a detailed blueprint – optimistic but feasible – for fighting climate change while creating millions of new jobs and a healthier environment. Griffith explains exactly what it would take to transform our infrastructure, update our grid and adapt our households. The same natural advantages – incredible resources on an enormous continent – that helped Australia prosper in the 20th century are the ingredients for becoming the most prosperous, entirely renewable, economy in the world.

Dr Saul Griffith has founded and co-founded numerous technology companies including one acquired by Google and another acquired by Autodesk. He’s been a project lead on federally-funded research projects for agencies including NASA, DARPA, ARPA-e, National Science Foundation and United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

This event is part of the 2022 Critical Thinking and Ethics program at Newington College. View the full program of events on our website <a href="https://insites.newington.nsw.edu.au/centreforethics/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
