The Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Academy of Engineering brought together expert engineers with perspectives from policymaking and social science to discuss questions including:
- Can we rely on technology to fix the climate?
- How can science and engineering work with politics and society to support a positive and just transition to net zero?
- And are we kidding ourselves about how big a challenge we face in decarbonising the economy?
