\nSustainability at Disrupt<\/br>

TechCrunch Disrupt 2023<\/a> will have a whole new look this fall with one aim in mind: bring together investors, founders and technologists who have specific industry interests \u2014 all under one roof at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Disrupt has always been big. But this year we\u2019re folding TC Sessions, the standalone industry events that are traditionally held throughout the year, into the big annual tech event.<\/p>\n

Disrupt will have six industry tracks, each with its own stage, including AI<\/a>, fintech<\/a>, hardware<\/a>, SaaS<\/a>, security<\/a> and sustainability<\/a>. Yup, sustainability, a category that will combine transportation<\/a>, climate tech<\/a>, smart cities and renewables.<\/p>\n

What the heck is sustainable tech, anyway? In our experience, it\u2019s a moving target. The term is arguably many things: aspirational, a misnomer, a buzzword and a catch-all for products and services that are less environmentally destructive than doing business as normal.<\/p>\n

To us, the goal of sustainable tech is simply to do less harm to the planet (thus sustaining something close to life as we know it). Yet, how to achieve that goal \u2014 without resting on piecemeal tweaks and greenwashing \u2014 is a rich and messy topic worth probing.<\/p>\n

That is what we aim to do on the Sustainability Stage<\/a> \u2014 discuss material ways to mitigate the damage we\u2019re doing, while interrogating bullshit<\/a>\u00a0and distractions<\/a> along the way.<\/p>\n

The stakes have never been higher<\/a>. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said<\/a> with the release of its sixth major assessment<\/a>, \u201ckeeping warming to 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels requires deep, rapid and sustained greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors.\u201d The tech industry must do its part by drawing down scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, cleaning up its pollutive supply chains and accelerating the transition to renewables.<\/p>\n

Disrupt in particular is all about startups. The specific areas we\u2019re eager to dig into this year via panels and fireside chats include: fixing the broken U.S. power grid, examining how cities will adapt to more frequent<\/a> extreme weather events, mitigating fast fashion\u2019s environmental toll and rethinking some of the world\u2019s most-loved beverages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Book your early-bird pass today<\/a> and save $800 to the startup event of the year. Prices go up May 12.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
