The pressure on world leaders to reduce carbon emissions is greater than ever. Many countries have plans to hit net zero, but questions arise as to their feasibility. Adopting a net zero solution requires radical change to our way of life which some argue we are not prepared for. Protests have arisen in Oxford after claims that net zero encroaches on civil liberties. Can we reconcile net zero with economic growth or must we look to an alternative economic model? What alternative solutions could we be pursuing?
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of selfimposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here
