Being Frank & Honest About Climate Change with Climate Scientist Kevin Anderson

In our third interview with climate scientist Kevin Anderson, we will cover why climate scientists need to be more frank and honest about emissions scenarios, why the rich cutting their emissions is key to staying below 2ºC of warming, the need for solar geo-engineering, COP29, and other subjects. Kevin Anderson holds the Zennström professorship at Uppsala University and is chair of energy and climate change at the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering (MACE) at the University of Manchester. He has been Deputy and Interim Director of the Tyndall Centre. He is a non-executive director of Greenstone Carbon Management. Kevin is research active with recent publications in Science, Nature and Nature Geosciences. Kevin engages widely across all tiers of government (UK and Sweden) on issues ranging from shale gas, aviation and shipping to the role of climate modelling (IAMs), carbon budgets and ‘negative emission technologies. His analysis previously contributed to the framing of the UK’s Climate Change Act and the development of national carbon budgets. Kevin has a decade’s industrial experience, principally in the petrochemical industry. He is a chartered engineer and a fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
