グリーンウォッシュを暴き、実効性のある気候変動対策を訴える | Keroles Riad | TEDxSherbrooke Street West

カナダにおけるリサイクルや廃棄物管理に関する誤解と、グリーンウォッシングや誤解を招く気候技術の主張が一般の人々をどのように惑わせるかが取り上げられています。講演では、幼少期からの環境教育の欠如が気候危機の大きな要因の一つであり、そこに配慮の欠如も加わると論じられています。話し手は、ナノ粒子合成と触媒応用を研究してきたConcordia大学の元Public Scholarで総代を務めた人物です。本作品はTEDxSherbrooke Street West（モントリオール）での講演で、TEDx Talksのチャンネルより埋め込み配信されています。

• カナダにおけるリサイクルに関する誤った認識
• グリーンウォッシングや誤った気候技術の約束が公衆を惑わす仕組み
• 幼少期からの環境教育の役割

In his speech, Dr. Keroles Riad will uncover false narratives about climate change, sustainability and recycling. To do so, he will explore reasons why many Canadians have a false perception of recycling and a general lack of knowledge about waste management. He will uncover the tactics of greenwashing and how regular people often fall victim to misinformation and the false promises of climate technologies. To conclude, he will further explore educational institutions and the overall lack of environmental education from a young age onward. Highlighting an important factor in the climate crisis: a lack of awareness and education, and not just a lack of care for the issue. Dr. Keroles B. Riad is a Valedictorian and former Public Scholar at Concordia University where he received a Ph.D. degree from the individualized program developing new materials for 3D printing His research focuses on nanoparticle synthesis and catalytic applications. He is now working to explore the ability to make graphene via the industrially established flame spray pyrolysis nanoparticle synthesis technology. He recently created "O Nanotech Solutions inc.", a startup aiming to commercialize flame-made metal oxide quantum dots reducing their cost by an order of magnitude. His second company enuf is a spin-off B-corp of the “Waste Not, Want Not” student initiative he started at Concordia University in 2016, for which he received the Quebec Lieutenant-Governor Youth Medal.
