Raising the Net Zero conversation: how to stop climate becoming a wedge political issue.

How Net Zero?

Achieving net zero is what it will take to halt global warming. If we can manage this by or soon after mid-century, we would limit overall warming to well below 2°C. Impacts would be serious, but likely not catastrophic.

In a year of elections, climate change is emerging as a divisive political issue, in many countries for the first time. We need political debate about climate, but without it becoming an all-or-nothing issue of identity politics. And all sides need to raise their game by not promising we can have our cake and eat it, either costless decarbonisation or costless delay. This lecture argues for “third way” climate solutions, designed explicitly to appeal to the broadest possible coalition.A lecture by &nbsp;Professor Myles AllenThis event is also available to watch live online.
