[Committee] Three events for your diary 12th 15th and 16th Feb

[Steve Stretton]

Dear Committee,
Sorry for the extra email, but I thought you might be interested in advanced
notice for the events starting 12th of February. Note that the events on the
15th (from 17:15) and 16th (daytime) require advanced registration.
 
All the best,
Steve
 
 
 
12th Feb: Jon Kohler "New technology: the answer to climate change? ":
Reducing the potential impacts of climate change will require two types of
action - mitigation and adaptation. If we are to keep the risk of disastrous
climate change impacts low, human activity will have to transform itself
into a low carbon society. Current conventional policies are fundamentally
inadequate. Policies to stimulate transitions to new low carbon technologies
are needed. The possibilities will be discussed in the   context of energy
use in buildings and transport.
