Getting to Net-Zero: Transformational Change in an Incremental World
Simon Donner
University of British Columbia
Climate change is the challenge of the century. The world needs to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the latter half of the century for a reasonable chance at achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. This will require shifting from incremental to transformational approaches to climate policy. In this presentation, I’ll talk about real-world obstacles and provide lessons for researchers, based on my experience advising the federal government as co-chair of the Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body, from which I resigned in December.
