Session Overview

Information coming soon!

What do we need to make meaningful, rapid progress in the net-zero transition?

While there exist some truly difficult challenges and bottlenecks we need to overcome, we also have all the essential tools to do so at our disposal. In this session, we’ll explore what’s holding us back and how we might finally start to shift gears in the race to net zero.

Meet Your Speaker

More information coming soon!

I am passionate about facilitating collaboration and unlocking synergies between businesses, civil society, policymakers, and researchers to make meaningful progress in the net-zero transition.

As the Head of Science, Sustainability, and Climate Research at Normative, I’m supporting businesses to account for and reduce their emissions with a high degree of scientific integrity. In addition, I am co-leading Rewired Earth’s work on supply chain transparency and leading the private sector program of the Mobilizing an Earth Governance Alliance. I’m frequently giving university lectures in econometrics and sustainability and am the Co-Host of the Net-Zero Policy Network with Oxford Net Zero.
