About

David Rejeski is a pioneering thinker at the intersection of emerging technologies and environmental policy. His work explores how converging revolutions in robotics, genetics, information, and communication technologies will reshape society and the natural world. In his highly influential 2004 paper, "Environmentalism & the Technologies of Tomorrow: Shaping the Next Industrial Revolution" (11 citations), Rejeski issued a prescient call to action, arguing that environmentalists must proactively anticipate and shape these powerful technological forces rather than react to their unintended consequences. This foundational contribution established him as a key voice in technology assessment and sustainable innovation. As a senior scholar and former director of the Environmental Law Institute's Emerging Technologies Program, Rejeski has consistently challenged the environmental community to engage with the design and governance of transformative technologies. His work remains essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand how to steer technological change toward ecological resilience and a just, sustainable future.
