Webinar: False Climate Solutions

Online

This webinar will discuss some of the problems of relying on unproven technology to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to tackle climate change. This includes the impacts on people and the planet of the large scale deployment of BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and storage. We will also consider what real solutions look like.

Prof. Kevin Anderson talk

Can meaningful hope spring from revealing the depth of our climate failure?

We are delighted to welcome our special guest speaker Kevin Anderson, Professor of Energy and Climate Change (Tyndall Centre).

He will discuss what the Paris Agreement means in terms of cutting climate emissions equitably, the risks of speculative but 'politically palatable' technologies and whether the emergence of new and vociferous climate constituencies gives cause for hope.
