Decarbonising the UK: a story in data. A talk by
Professor Tim Cockerill, Director of Energy Leeds, University of Leeds,
Summary: The UK has been comparatively successful in decarbonising its economy over the last 30 years. However there are some sectors where it is stubbornly difficult to make progress, and growing challenges elsewhere. The presentation will draw on extensive publicly available data sets to illustrate the progress to date, and provide context for future challenges. The approach will be largely apolitical, instead focussing on the role that technological developments have / can potentially play in improving the climate sustainability of the UK Economy.
