IES webinar: Interdisciplinary climate action - making a net zero society
New thinking on social and cultural change is required if government is going to reach its net zero target. Technology alone will not be enough. People, our societies and our systems need to change and adapt to meet our net zero goals.
The ESRC funded ACCESS project brought together a task force of 10 leading academics to call for the government to make more consistent and effective use of social science, to build a more sophisticated understanding of societal change and to plan next steps to achieve net zero ambitions. Prof Patrick Devine-Wright discusses the findings and recommendations of the newly launched report 'Making a Net Zero Society: Follow the Social Science', as well as the wider work of ACCESS.

Despite commitments by global signatories of the Ramsar Convention to undertake systemic assessment of designated wetlands, research had revealed that virtually none had been done globally and that the lack of practical tools for rapid assessment was a principal obstacle. The Rapid Assessment of Wetland Ecosystem Services (RAWES) approach was developed to address this gap. RAWES was adopted by ...

This is such an interesting topic to discuss! Thank you for delivering such an insightful discussion

Can tropical peat like in Indonesia be managed as source of fresh water?
Great seminar, really good speaker; calm and clearly understandable. Thanks
Thank you! We're glad you found it helpful.

we need air quality course in South Africa no such course exist I have taken some Air Quality Management 4 as part of my Environmental Health degree... now I want to create a course for air quality management
Do we really think rebranding multiple distinct and ignored crisis will be effective at this junction? All I can envision this line of reasoning will result in is animosity and memes. But not the good memes that help spread awareness. The re-fried ones that make people think they are having a stroke. But what could I possibly know, I'm just a hobo from the internet yelling at a dumpster fire.
Very appreciative efforts...

Thanks for the information. It will help a lot for getting the accreditation
proper informative presentation thanks
We're burning through the 100 billion barrels of oil equivalent fossil fuels energy annually. Adding 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases pollution. These numbers steadily rising since Drake's well was drilled in 1860. Oil getting more difficult to extract and of lower quality. Once fracking occurs there's nothing left. Depleting wells and accelerating pollution if not addressed soon will make any plans obsolete.
Thanks Robert, the IES is definitely engaged in these issues around energy and climate change. You can read more in our Manifesto for Transformative Change: www.the-ies.org/resources/manifesto-transformative-change
Excellent overview. Im an EHP dealing with contaminated land and this has been very informative and useful. Thanks for uploading!
If around 80% of people will live in cities & towns then many eco solutions will need to focus on urbanism & sustainable city living. Cities & towns exist within a natural environment (not the other way around) just like ALL social systems exist WITHIN natural ecological systems on which all life depends. Thanks for this discussion.
Thank you! We absolutely need to take a systems approach to these issues so this is an important conversation to have as this project continues throughout the year.
Thank you.. needed this information
that "Peatmap" was extremely informative, thank you for showing!

Excuse me Sir/Madam Are you saved? If you died tonight are you going to heaven? Jesus loves you
Isn’t it just obviously true that the more industrialized a civilization is, the more mastery it has over climate? Rather than advise companies not to invest in fossil fuels, why don’t we empower the impoverished energy-starved people of the world so that they can be safer from climate?
This series looks really disappointing. Solar and wind make up how much of the world’s energy use? (3%? 4%?) And what about the billions of people living impoverished lives due to a lack of cheap, reliable energy? They aren’t clamoring for solar and wind (even though you say they are cheap and the technology to make them reliable already exist); they are begging for coal, the actually cheap form of energy, as they should if they want to live flourishing lives. If you really think climate change will destroy us all soon, then at least be honest about the misery your suggested policies will create and argue that that misery will be the lesser of two bad outcomes.
The Earth is cooler w the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer. To perform as advertised the GHGs require "extra" energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body. The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible. No greenhouse effect, no GHG heating, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming.
Prof Steve Martin A hugely important seminar we need much more interdisciplinary in policy and practice - a timely and engaging series of conversations.
This is absolutely toxic, misandrist, and racist. Scratch the surface of the ideology behind the DIE philosophy and you find anti-science, para-morality, and deeply racist and genderist beliefs. You are building a known barrier to solving climate change into your curriculum. Shame on all of you for supporting this. Genuine environmental sciences reject Race Marxism and Gender ideology.

Good work
Why is this always an after thought? What is the point when we are still sending the majority of our waste to landfill sites just like this, albeit abroad.
I should imagine that 'landfill mining', should it become commonplace (and it should) would initially focus on landfills from the 1980s, when landfill usage peaked and nobody really recycled. Imagine how much metal exists in those to be recovered to be smelted and reused. More recent landfills might be better for waste to energy, but I suspect it will be scrap metal which will in the future be considered the 'gold' to these miners. If we can reduce the amount of rubbish in the ground then that can only really be a good thing, reduces the risk of liners/membranes leaking and polluting the groundwater which we rely on for most our drinking water. The land is also useless, sometimes parks etc are built on top, but the full processing of a landfill could result in land being freed up for development, giving relief to greenbelt areas. Step 1: Buy landfill site, Step 2: mine for metal, send everything else to waste-to-energy plant, step 3: remediated site can be sold as development land. Its going to make some people very rich, so much potential.
Simply put, factories don't need greenhouse gas emissions. Do not emit air pollution, reduce air pollution. stop greenhouse gas emissions, stop greenhouse gas emissions, - th-cam.com/video/11ykdPfGUUc/w-d-xo.html

An excellent webinar guys!! Fantastic to be a part of it.
It was a pleasure working with you on this one! Some really good content!
I don't know if this will get answered but ill ask away. Do we know if future generations are capable of dealing with the waste generated are they getting taught the relevant material or is this again a stab in the dark just like nuclear flue waste and fossil fuel waste. Another question i have is that is the current workforce even prepared for this transition. thanks.
