Onshore CO2 storage in the UK: What’s the current state of knowledge?
Tom Kettlety (Department of Earth Sciences)
Wednesday 11 Oct 2023 | Weston Library
Permanent CO2 storage is an integral part of reaching net zero and meeting the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. The UK has committed to develop CO2 storage in geological reservoirs deep underground, but so far has focussed on doing so offshore. Onshore storage might well prove useful, however, especially for sources of emissions that are dispersed and far from [...]

Designing net zero governance: The moment for multilateral governance and national regulation
Selam Kidane Abebe (Oxford Net Zero), Kaya Axelsson (Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment and the Environmental Change Institute)
Wednesday 04 Oct 2023 | Weston Library
National net zero commitments now cover 88% of global emissions, 92% of GDP and 89% of the world’s population (Net Zero Tracker). To support this, net zero guidance and standards now exist for organisations at every level of the economy. Still, an implementation gap exists with respect to net zero regulation and implementation at the national level – and there is limited [...]

Changing Urban Transport: Why Oxford and Other UK Cities Are Experimenting With Controversial Policies
Professor Tim Schwanen (Transport Studies Unit University of Oxford )

Learning across global regions: Comparing climate marketcraft in developing countries
Dr Jose Maria Valenzuela, University of Oxford
Wednesday 20 Sep 2023
Local climate action benefits from learning across national cases, as there are valuable opportunities to look at recent experiences on policy and institutional design, and implementation. Novel experiences of economic reconfiguration and innovation in developing countries are rarely taken as models for extrapolation, and when comparisons occur amongst developing countries, these are mostly within regions. In this Oxford Net Zero [...]
