Northern Ireland’s journey to a cleaner energy future is underway. We have an ecosystem of engineers and scientists who are pushing the boundaries of physics to harness Northern Ireland’s abundance of green energy resources, like wind and solar. As engineers and scientists we can only take this so far. To really make a difference, we need the buy-in from the public and the acceptance of communities who will host green energy infrastructure. We need a conversation to join the dots between green energy schemes and climate change, we need discussion and facts about the benefits of this infrastructure, we need to help individuals make the informed choice to support these projects in their community. Together, we can transform the Northern Ireland power system for future generations. Let’s get this done – our planet can’t wait. Dr. David McGowan is a Senior Lead Engineer within Energy Systems Analysis at SONI. David was responsible for SONI’s Tomorrow’s Energy Scenarios, which sets out a range of credible pathways for the decarbonisation of the NI power system. David is a steering group member for scenario building working group within the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSOE). The scenario working group is responsible for developing long term gas and electricity scenarios that are compliant with EU Energy and Climate Targets. Before joining SONI, David worked as a research fellow in power system control, at Queen’s University, Belfast from which he holds a PhD in Engineering. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

David Holmgren is co-originator (with Bill Mollison) of the permaculture concept and author of the recent book, PERMACULTURE: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. He talks about the need to move beyond the lulling hope that 'green tech' breakthroughs will allow world-wide 'sustainable consumption' to the recognition that dwindling oil supplies inevitably mean a mandatory 'energy descent' for human civilization across the planet. He argues that permaculture principles provide the best guide to a peaceful societal 'powering down."

Reconciling Ways of Knowing Series, Dialogue 3: "Braiding Ways of Knowing" This dialogue originally aired on Thursday, September 24 at 8:30 am Pacific / 10:30 am Central / 12:30 pm Atlantic. Known for her award-winning books Gathering Moss: A Natural & Cultural History of Mosses and Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants, amongst many other ways in which she has had an impact as a teacher, researcher, and writer, Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer spoke in dialogue with friend, colleague, renowned ethnobotanist and moderator Dr. Nancy Turner on the theme of Braiding Ways of Knowing. Drs. Wall Kimmerer and Turner discussed how Dr. Wall Kimmerer had concluded that Indigenous and scientific ways of knowing could be braided together in her work on the role of traditional ecological knowledge in ecological restoration and the ecology of mosses. Fellow Reconciling Ways of Knowing project founders Miles Richardson, O.C., Dr. David Suzuki, and Elder Dr. Dave Courchene, Jr. joined Dr. Turner in the dialogue with Dr. Wall Kimmerer to connect her findings and reflections from her work to the objective of the Reconciling Ways of Knowing project to facilitate pathways for building better relationships across ways of knowing and for creating better stewardship outcomes together. And finally, participants asked Dr. Wall Kimmerer or any of the project founders questions about how they can apply the considerations from the discussion on braiding ways of knowing to their work and engagement in community.
