OX to ZERO summit showcases Oxfordshire's net-zero ambitions
A one-day summit is to highlight how Oxfordshire is leading the way in addressing the climate emergency.
The summit founded by the University of Oxford, Harwell, UK Atomic Energy Authority and OxLEP will be held at the Blavatnik School of Government on 1 September.
Included in the programme are experts in fusion energy, transport, storage, systems, CO2 removal and innovation.
There will be keynote speeches from ocean advocate Emily Penn and Simon Mundy, Moral Money editor at the Financial Times and author of the climate change book 'Race for Tomorrow'.
Chas Bountra, University of Oxford, said: “After the pandemic, the climate emergency will potentially destroy even more lives, make parts of the world uninhabitable, and produce irreversible changes to our surroundings. OX to ZERO provides an insight into how the Oxford ecosystem is once again pulling together to take on the biggest challenge facing our planet. I hope we can create hope and solutions for humanity.”
Sebastian Johnson, OxLEP, said: “Oxfordshire has a history of delivering pioneering solutions to the world’s greatest challenges. The expertise and desire that exists in the county can be a critical driver to tackling the climate emergency head-on, at pace. OX to ZERO will showcase further solutions that can drive the world towards a zero-carbon future.”
There are limited tickets available for the in-person event, with more information and virtual tickets available online.
