The U.K. has a domestic legal target of cutting annual emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to ‘net zero’ by 2050. Why should Dorset care about the net zero target and what does it mean for the county? Join us for an informative and engaging session, followed by a Q&A where Bob will answer your burning questions about Dorset’s path to net zero.
Bob is Policy and Communications Director, Grantham Research institute on Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science. He also holds the Chair of the London Climate Ready Partnership, and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, the Geological Society and the Energy Institute.
He joined the Grantham Research Institute at its foundation in 2008. Previously he worked at Risk Management Solutions, the Royal Society and The Daily Telegraph.
The HOP talks are part of an initiative aiming to inspire and inform individuals, families and local communities with tangible actions to help combat the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, and to raise money for charities working in these areas. Each month the charity is chosen by the speaker. The project was initiated by Philip Howse OBE (Professor Emeritus, University of Southampton) with Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS VMH (former Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) and the late James Lovelock CBE. Patrons include: George Monbiot, Clive Farrell, Dr George McGavin and Dr Kate Rawles.
