Faultlines 3: the path to Net Zero – are we doing enough?
17 October @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
In April 2025, the Tony Blair Institute published a critique of current net zero plans to avoid damaging climate change entitled “The Climate Paradox: Why We Need to Reset Action on Climate Change”, asserting that “present policy solutions are inadequate … unrealistic and therefore unworkable”.
The Blair document specifically recommends increased efforts to trap carbon dioxide from exhaust gases and also from the atmosphere. Others go further asserting that we also need to increase investment in small scale nuclear power plants and urgently investigate how to cool the planet through geoengineering. Needless to say, many environmentalists object strongly to such claims, and insist that instead we must urgently double down on existing plans to decarbonise the world’s economies by replacing fossil fuels with non-nuclear renewable sources like solar, wind, tidal etc. Who is right?
