Net Zero Exchanges: Connecting policy and research for climate action

With the UK hosting COP26 in November, the Government urgently needs to align domestic policy with our global climate commitments. The Net Zero Strategy, due before COP26, offers a vital opportunity to do this.

As Greta Thunberg reminds us, when it comes to the climate crisis we must listen to the science. This essay collection is a triumph of blending politics and science: politicians working with academics to understand not just climate science but the science of the political solutions.

Voices across the political spectrum and from a range of leading UK universities come together in this unique collection of essays. Each is co-written by an academic and a Parliamentarian and sets out the areas where work is still needed on climate policy while also demonstrating how readily to hand many political and technical solutions are. It showcases the strength of UK science and research and the level of cross-party support for climate action.
