Balancing rising energy demands with the need to curb and adapt to anthropogenic climate change in a just and equitable way is at the heart of an existential challenge facing Scotland and, indeed, the world. Most people agree that addressing climate change is urgent. How this should be done, by whom, at what cost, and at whose expense, however, is far less certain

At this critical juncture, we ask: How should we act in the face of climate change? And, how might policy play a vital role in shaping our future?

You are warmly invited to join us on 10 May for engaging discussion, debate, and candid reflections from key stakeholders who have shaped Scotland’s climate policy landscape. Organised by the Centre for Energy Ethics with funding from Scotland’s Future Series, this event will bring the issues of climate policy and climate rights into focus as the nation moves to rapidly and sustainably decarbonise.
