The urgency of limiting global warming to 1.5°C is more evident than ever. In the context of a rapidly evolving geostrategic and security environment, with Ukraine at the forefront, the global aim of achieving net zero emissions before 2050 represents a significant challenge for policymakers. But what does ‘net zero’ actually mean for future generations? What is the role of net zero in ensuring global geopolitical stability and energy security now, and in the future? What does “abating” fossil fuels have to do with this?
This event explores the science behind achieving a durable net zero and its profound implications for energy security, global security and the green transition for future generations.
The event will be moderated by Fiona Harvey, The Guardian and will include:
Conversation between Sir Alok Sharma, COP26 President and Member of Parliament, UK & Oleksiy Ryabchyn, UNFCCC Negotiator, covering the challenges ahead for energy security, stability and climate change, and how politicians are currently and, but more importantly, should think about the challenges for future generations.
Interactive panel discussion bringing together an Academic perspective, a Youth perspective, a Ukrainian perspective and an Energy Supplier perspective.
The panel discussion will feature:
Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science and Director of Oxford Net Zero, University of Oxford
Viktoriya Ball, Fridays for Future
Ievgeniia Kopytsia, Oxford Net Zero Associate, Associate Professor, Yaroslav National Law University, Ukraine and Academic Visitor, the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford
Christof van Agt Ross, Director of Energy Dialogue, International Energy Forum
