New technology: the answer to climate change?
- 👤 Speaker: Jonathan Kohler, Tyndall Centre

- 📍 Venue: McCrum Lecture Theatre, Benet's Street (behind the Eagle Pub)
Abstract
Reducing the potential impacts of climate change will require two types of action — mitigation and adaptation. If we are to keep the risk of disastrous climate change impacts low, human activity will have to transform itself into a low carbon society. Current conventional policies are fundamentally inadequate. Policies to stimulate transitions to new low carbon technologies are needed. The possibilities will be discussed in the context of energy use in buildings and transport.
