This week, the city of Oxford played host to an international conference on “achieving net-zero”.  The event follows hot on the heels of the UK becoming the first major economy to set a net-zero climate target.

The conference was organised by the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford, which hosted a conference on the 1.5C warming limit in 2016.

Spread across three days, the conference attracted a varied mix of around 160 science and policy researchers, energy experts, and industry representatives.

It was modeled loosely on the Talanoa Dialogue structure adopted at UN climate talks, addressing the questions “where are we?”, “where do we want to get to?” and “how do we get there?”.

Carbon Brief was at the conference to hear all the talks and ask a range of participants on camera (see below) about their priorities for achieving net-zero.
