Towards a durable Net Zero: safeguarding stability and energy security for future generations
08.12.2023
The urgency of limiting global warming to 1.5°C is more evident than ever. In the context of a rapidly evolving geostrategic and security environment, with Ukraine at the forefront, the global aim of achieving net zero emissions before 2050 represents a significant challenge for policymakers. But what does ‘net zero’ actually mean for future generations? What is the role of net zero in ensuring global geopolitical and energy security now, and in the future? What does “abating” fossil fuels have to do with this? This event explores the science behind achieving a durable net zero and its profound implications for energy security, global security and the green transition for future generations.
