This event is organised with University of Oxford, Simon Fraser University, World Universities Network, WBCSD and Victoria University of Wellington.

This event aims to highlights research on the science of a durable net zero, with business, developing country and NGO perspectives. We will cover why we need to reach net zero CO2 emissions before 2050, but we will have a discussion on what does net zero actually means? One question we aim to cover is: can we ‘abate’ fossil fuels to deliver on Paris goals?

Chaired by Professor Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science in the School of Geography and the Environment and Department of Physics, University of Oxford
