Join the audience for a live webinar at 5.15 p.m. BST/9.15 a.m. PDT on 10 May 2023, sponsored by IOP Publishing, to explore actions needed to stabilize the climate
Want to take part in this webinar?
In this webinar, Jonathan Koomey and Ian Monroe, editors of the IOP Publishing book Solving Climate Change: A guide for learners and leaders, will identify five technical pillars of climate action needed to stabilize the climate. These include electrifying (almost) everything, decarbonizing the electricity grid, minimizing non-fossil emissions, promoting efficiency and optimization, and removing carbon from the atmosphere, moving beyond the narrow technical and policy focus of most previous climate solutions work by detailing three more “institutional” pillars that require action: aligning incentives, mobilizing money, and elevating truth.
