DESCRIPTION:The geosciences played a key role in the hydrocarbon-fuelled e
 conomic boom of the 20th Century\, and it is now poised to play an equally
 -key role in the transition to a green and sustainable economy. This prese
 nts a new opportunity for Geoscientists to engage with the social\, politi
 cal and ethical implications of the green economy and their research into 
 green technologies. This panel discussion brings together three experts fr
 om fields outside of the geosciences to explore questions such as: how the
  green transition can facilitate reduced carbon emissions and social justi
 ce\, whether the green economy will be structurally different to the curre
 nt economic system\, how should we measure activities’ green credentials
 \, and how will societies be convinced of green economics?
