From January 2025, Oxford Net Zero, the ZERO Institute and OxEARTH will jointly host an online seminar series entitled “The Reality of Net Zero”. Academics from the three institutions will give talks on why we need net zero, what progress we have made (and not made), and what it will take to get there in a sustainable, durable and equitable way. Each seminar will have time for audience questions.
The series will run for eight weeks and will cover the architecture of net zero – science, international law, governance and energy systems. Interwoven with these will be solutions from different disciplines, including carbon dioxide removal, batteries and nature-based solutions.
