DESCRIPTION:This is the 2nd weekly session of the CIT Summer Series\, with 
 Dan Wolfson presenting on Using Open Source to Accelerate Sustainability I
 nitiatives :\n\nAddressing climate change and sustainability is one of the
  most urgent concerns we face. A key step in addressing these concerns is 
 for organizations to measure\, analyze and document their carbon emissions
  and climate risks. Sustainability and climate reporting is effectively be
 ing mandated by both governments and industry. This reporting\, however\, 
 often requires significant investments in time and resources to design\, d
 evelop and implement. The right data must be found\, prepared and organize
 d to support for instance\, calculation of the Greenhouse Gas emissions. T
 his can be a significant challenge. Open source projects\, such as Egeria\
 , can play a significant role in accelerating these initiatives. In this t
 alk you will learn about:\n\n- What are some of the key standards and prog
 rams for measuring and reporting on Sustainability\n-  Acceleration throug
 h Open Source projects\n-  An overview of Egeria and it can jumpstart sust
 ainability projects\n-  A deeper look at the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and C
 arbon Accounting showing how Egeria can help organizations establish and d
 eliver trusted sustainability reports\n\nSpeaker(s): Dan Wolfson\, \n\nVir
