In the fight to avert the climate crisis let’s not forget about the environment.
We understand why we need to transition to low carbon energy, to avoid dangerous climate change. We understand when we need to, by 2050, but the sooner the better given progressing climate change consequences. Crucial to a sustainable transition is understanding how.
This short film gives an overview of the need and potential to embed positive ecological outcomes into energy system decarbonisation.
