CCLS 2023 - CCLS 2023 - FINAL LECTURE - With Gaia Vince and Jonathon Porritt - edited version Cambridge Climate Lecture Series 2023-03-24 | How should we manage our future as the global temperature rises beyond the agreed safe limit of 1.5C?Join Gaia Vince and Jonathon Porritt on this final lecture of the CCLS 2023 Series.Gaia and Jonathon will discuss the science, the politics and the implications for the climate movement of the fact that 1.5C is now unattainable if we follow even the most ambitious trajectories highlighted by IPCC; the most ambitious scenario involves an overshoot above 1.5C. What should society do in light of this knowledge? Gaia and Jonathan will share their insights and views, and engage with the audience to explore the issues and possible actions.
Professor Kevin Anderson From iniquity to integrity … there’s no hiding from carbon budgets Cambridge Climate Lecture Series 2023-02-17 | Talk Abstract:As climate change increasingly exacerbates extreme weather events around the globe, so government leaders are increasingly using the language of a “climate emergency”. But look beyond the fine words, and it is quickly evident that behind the relatively recent framing of ‘net zero’, many governments, companies and institutions are planning for little more than incremental adjustments to business-as-usual. But “nature will not be fooled” by empty rhetoric, subterfuge and unsubstantiated optimism – and nor should we. The challenges we face in delivering on our Paris climate commitments beg fundamental questions of almost every facet of modern society. This presentation will seek to lay bare the sheer scale, scope and urgency of emission cuts now required to meet our Paris climate commitments. It will conclude by offering an outline of the key characteristics delivering on such commitments needs to entail. Please note, for those with a more sensitive disposition, this is very much a “red pill” presentation.Short Bio:Kevin is professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester and visiting professor at the Universities of Uppsala (Sweden) and Bergen (Norway). Formerly he held the position of Zennström professor (in Uppsala) and was director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (UK).

CCLS: Eden, Assemblies & COP26 - Climate & People Cambridge Climate Lecture Series 2022-05-07 | With advancing climate impacts comes the need to rapidly rethink and retool how we organise and run our societies. In this session we have invited four speakers with a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience in the critical space between informing democracy, development of pragmatic solutions, and the policy challenges associated with making society actually work in a just and equitable way.Speakers:Dr Natalie JonesWorks on how global injustice and inequality can potentially contribute to existential risk, with a particular interest in climate change. Her background is in international law and climate policy. Sir Tim SmitTim conceived of and is co-founded the Eden project in Cornwall in 2001. Since then the Eden Project has played a leading role in developing new ways of seeing and existing in the world with sister projects in China and Australia. Recently Eden has been developing its deep geothermal energy project as a means to power the project and the local community of several thousand homes. Tim has been outspoken about the need for a more rigorous approach to climate. Doreen GroveDoreen leads Scottish Government’s involvement in the Open Government Partnership at both a National and International level. In Scotland, Open Government supports the reform of public services, the renewal of democracy, promotes openness, transparency and the use of innovative participative processes to help transform how people interact with public services. Professor Rebecca Willis Works on environment, climate and energy policy and politics. In particular, she looks at the relationship between the citizen and state in climate governance. In 2019-2020, she was an Expert Lead to Climate Assembly UK, the first national Citizens' Assembly on Climate Change.

However, we have never been better equipped to solve this problem, with regulators, businesses and consumers increasingly in sync and powerful technology creating a rare opportunity for systemic change. Using these tools, we are now empowered to develop a more effective carbon market that reflects the true value of carbon in everything we do. In turn, that market will finance the protection and restoration of forests and soils – our most powerful allies in removing carbon emissions from the world's atmosphere.Lisa Walker left BG Group (now part of Royal Dutch Shell) in 2016 where she served as Vice President for Environment & Climate Change to become CEO of Ecosphere+.Lisa worked in the oil and gas sector for more than 17 years, closely involved in all aspects of climate change strategy development & implementation, public policy formation, sector coalition building and low-carbon business development. She was a driving force behind the UK Emissions Trading Group, the CCAC Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (which she Co-Chaired), the Sustainable Gas Institute and the CEO-led Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI). Lisa helped BG Group secure multiple industry awards for sustainability.Before BG Group Lisa held various roles at BP including Director of the BP Carbon Ventures corporate-VC fund. Lisa successfully secured capital for many innovative investments in sustainable land-use and forestry, low-carbon technologies and bio-energy, including first-of-their-kind deals for the private sector such as the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF).

They also underpin the management of adaptation to climate change and its mitigation, together with wider issues of sustainability addressed through the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, and disaster risk reduction.Prof. Briggs will show examples of how observations provide evidence of ongoing change in the climate system, and how we might use these and other data to be able better to manage, and increase our resilience to, future change.
Lecture 2: Engaging young people on climate change #ccls2018 by Renee Karunungan Cambridge Climate Lecture Series 2018-02-27 | climate-series.eng.cam.ac.uk/ccls-2018/lecture-2Engaging young people and ensuring their participation in climate change issues are crucial in seeking solutions to climate change. Young people will be mostly affected by the climate change and its impacts in the future. Journalism is one way to engage people in climate change issues. Through writing and publishing articles, young people are able to tell stories of their communities, how climate change affects them, and the solutions they implement in fighting climate change and its impacts. Through journalism, young people are able to voice their opinions and help influence policy and decision making processes in their countries.Renee is Climate Tracker's Outreach Manager and currently a postgraduate student doing Media and International Development at the University of East Anglia. She has been working on climate justice issues since she was a university student in the Philippines. In 2015, she was named by The Guardian as one of the young climate campaigners to watch before the UN climate summit. She recently published a children's book on the environment that was listed as one of the Best Filipino Children's Books in 2017.

YOUNGO PT1 Working Group Press Conference at #Cop23 #YOUNGOCOP23 #YOUTHCOP Cambridge Climate Lecture Series 2017-11-11 | YOUNGO Press Conference in COP23 Bonn GermanyBonn, 10th November 2017 – The working groups of YOUNGO present their positions on the COP23 and the way forward towards the upcoming negotiations. The Thirteen Edition Conference of Youth will also present the outcome statement of the conference along with suggestion and recommendation for the COP 23.YOUNGO is the official youth constituency of the UNFCCC; we are the young people at the UN climate talks. Constituencies, like youth, women, business, trade unions, farmers, and indigenous peoples, have a formal voice in the UNFCCC process and can deliver interventions (speeches). YOUNGO consists of various organizations and individuals who identify as youth who often meet at the conference of parties and are active throughout the year as well. Representing the largest demographic of global population, they are invited and always make submissions for youth during negotiations.Following are the working groups of YOUNGO for COP23 delivering their statements on where they stand.Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE), Adaptation, Agriculture, Mitigation, Conflict of Interest, Finance, Gender, Health, Human Rights, Loss and Damage, Oceans, and the Thirteen Edition Conference of Youth above are groups that are actively involved in the negotiation process for COP23 as the voice of the Youth that works in the field climate change. The objective of these opportunities is to empower young leaders, help propel youth voices into the global dialogue, as the official youth constituency of the UNFCCC embracing mutual understanding and respect of the world, and drive people toward the better climate action and sustainable development.
The Climate Action Tapes, 2017: Part 3 Cambridge Climate Lecture Series 2017-07-26 | Terry Macalister interviewed Prof Kevin Anderson in order to gain a better understanding of his views about the required urgency of tackling climate change. In the third and final part of this interview, Anderson proposes three things that need to rapidly take place if the goals of the Paris Agreement are to be met. These are: (1) The wealthy in society need to change how much energy they consume, (2) Government needs to demand very stringent energy efficiency standards, and (3) we require a Marshall-style reconstruction of the energy system. Anderson argues that the retrofitting of buildings, the electrification of our infrastructure and the rollout of renewables technologies would represent a jobs agenda for the next three decades.
