In this seminar hosted by the Centre for Competition Policy and ClimateUEA the role of finance in addressing climate change is discussed. What is sustainable finance and what is it intended to achieve? What policy actions are already in train and what might happen next? How far will governments go in directing capital to support their policies? What are the dangers of getting it wrong? How can economics and law studies contribute to what may be one of the biggest transformations ever in the way we all live? A panel of experts, including UEA's Dr Patrycja Klusak and Professor Raphael Markellos, discuss the issues and answer your questions.
In this talk Dr Nem Vaughan from the UEA from the School of Environmental Sciences discusses the role of carbon dioxide methods in how we get to Net Zero.
