Conference (Southampton, UK): Going green: Debating the socio-economic impacts of achieving Net Zero - 24 Jan

We would like to invite you to the SDSN UK ‘Going green: Debating the socio-economic impacts of achieving Net Zero’ conference taking place on Wed 24th January in Southampton. The conference is hosted by the Sustainability and Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton in partnership with University of Strathclyde Centre for Sustainable Development and the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP), host institution of SDSN UK. I have attached here the abstract for the event and the link to the Eventbrite page for signing up to the SDSN event is here.

The conference will bring together researchers – both established and early career - policy makers and industry professionals with the aim to mobilise collective knowledge and experience to identify the most pressing, cross-sector research questions surrounding a Net Zero future. The conference will include a plenary session, small group discussions as well as a poster event where early career researchers will have the opportunity to showcase their work. Small travel grants will be made available, particularly aimed at early career researchers.

We would be delighted to have you join us. If you have colleagues whose work focusses on decarbonisation in the UK and who would be interested to attend, do pass on the invite. We are also very keen to have PhD students and ECRs attending so feel free to share this with those who would find this of interest.
