With the war in Ukraine, economic uncertainty, and the election of a new PM, both governmental climate actions and COP26 decisions seem to be on standby in the UK. In the USA, Biden’s global promises are being held back by internal politics. Meanwhile, other countries across the globe are still coping with the effects of the pandemic.
Is it too much to expect the governments to tackle the climate crisis as well as other emergencies? Can we afford to have the climate issues relegated down the agenda? In other words, is it possible that National Governments cannot tackle the climate emergency?
Join Cambridge Cleantech and Michael Page after the debate for drinks and light refreshments at the Library room and the Orator, the refurbished brasserie and bar.
