Climate Intervention: a Distraction or a Necessity?

6:30pm-8:00pm on Friday 21 March

Babbage Lecture Theatre, (Through the Pembroke Archway), New Museums Site Downing Street, CB2 3RS

We invite you to a critical discussion on a pivotal topic in the fight against climate change: the role of climate interventions. As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, the conversation around interventions—ranging from technological innovations to policy reforms—has become increasingly urgent. Are these strategies essential for meaningful progress, or do they divert our attention from the systemic changes needed for a sustainable future?

The event will feature informative presentations, engaging discussions, and an opportunity for audience Q&A. It will explore key questions such as: Are interventions like carbon capture, marine cloud brightening and ice thickening sufficient to achieve our climate goals? Or do they risk overshadowing the fundamental changes required in our consumption patterns to reduce carbon emissions?

This talk is designed for anyone interested in climate action—whether you are a student, a professional, or a concerned citizen. By attending, you will deepen your understanding of the urgent climate crisis and contribute to a meaningful dialogue about the paths we can take to address it.
