Zero Carbon Britain: Making it Happen

3 March 2017 Leave a Comment

In this 2-minute video clip, Findhorn Fellow, Paul Allen, tells us how Zero Carbon Britain is catalysing change to meet our climate challenges. Paul is the Centre for Alternative Technology’s (CAT’s) Zero Carbon Britain Project Coordinator….

The UN Paris Agreement states that humanity must reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the middle of this century. This is a big shift, but we have no option other than to succeed if we are to avoid really dangerous climate change.

Previous Zero Carbon Britain research from the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) has shown that we can meet this challenge using technology available today.

So what’s stopping us?

CAT’s latest research project, Zero Carbon Britain: Making it Happen, explores the economic, cultural and psychological barriers to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, and sets out the positive, connected approach we need to overcome them – joining up research and practice across disciplines, borders, sectors and scales.

Zero Carbon Britain: Making it Happen offers a ‘toolbox’ of ideas that can help inspire, inform and enable us to make change happen. Working within an interdisciplinary framework, the report brings together thinking from researchers working in psychology, sociology, political science, economics and other social sciences, as well as faith and spiritual practice, arts and culture. Drawing on a wide range of peer-reviewed journals, books, reports and articles, as well as stories from real-life projects, it explores ways that we can overcome barriers in innovative ways.
