Public Lecture: How the World Agreed on Net Zero by Prof Myles Allen
Event date: May 23, 2023
Tuesday, 23 May 2023 – 18:00
Venue: Bernard’s Inn Hall and online
The climate had a bad year in 2009. Talks collapsed. Emails were hacked. And several papers found even 50-80% reductions weren’t enough: we had to get to net zero. Yet six years later, negotiators from 190 countries acknowledged the need for net zero in the Paris Agreement, even resolving to try to limit warming to 1.5 °C, which means net zero global emissions around 2050. Can it be done? It certainly can. Will it be done? That’s up to all of us.
