Joint event GP CentraleSupelec Energie Durable and a selection of Oxford and Cambridge alumni, organized by Daniel Kaute
What can we really do about the climate emergency?
Sir Dieter has an amazingly clear view of our current direction - we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles, and that the measures described in the Paris Accord are not sufficient, and sometimes counterproductive. As described in his recent book, Net Zero, Oxford University economist Sir Dieter will address the action we all need to take to tackle the climate emergency: personal, local, national and global. Reducing our own carbon consumption is the first step. He will also describe what is lacking in the current framework of the Paris Accord, and how this can be fixed.
Sir Dieter will give a short overview of the topic, followed by a discussion fire side chat style, and ending with questions from the audience.
