Offered By: Bureau of Economic Geology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the concept of Geological Net Zero in this thought-provoking lecture by Myles Allen, Director of the Oxford Net Zero Initiative and Professor at the University of Oxford. Delve into the complexities of achieving a durable halt to global warming and understand why conventional net zero commitments may fall short. Learn about the limitations of offsetting fossil fuel use with afforestation or nature-based solutions, and discover why geological carbon dioxide removal is crucial for meeting climate goals. Examine the affordability of Geological Net Zero and the need for a fundamental rethink of fossil fuel industry obligations. Consider the potential of a global Alliance for Geological Net Zero in meeting Paris Agreement goals, and reflect on the opportunity for countries, companies, states, or provinces to make history by committing to this approach. Gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of stopping fossil fuels from causing further global warming in this comprehensive exploration of climate change mitigation strategies.
