The climate crisis: towards zero carbon

The Climate Crisis: Towards Zero Carbon

Sir David Attenborough, Dr Jane Goodall DBE and leading Cambridge University researchers talk about the urgency of the climate crisis – and some of the solutions that will take us towards zero carbon.

If we are to avoid climate disaster we must sharply reduce our carbon dioxide emissions starting today — but how?

In a new film, Cambridge researchers describe their work on generating and storing renewable energy, reducing energy consumption, understanding the impact of climate policies, and probing how we can each reduce our environmental impact. Alumni Sir David Attenborough and Dr Jane Goodall DBE speak about the climate crisis and reasons for hope.

We hear about the ambitious new programme Cambridge Zero bringing together ideas and innovations to tackle the global challenge of climate catastrophe – and inspiring a generation of future leaders – and how the University is looking at its own operations to develop a zero-carbon pathway for the future.

There are huge opportunities to getting things right — the only way to operate is to believe we can do something about it — and I truly think we can.
