University event offered by University of Greenwich
Short Session Delivered online
Our series of virtual twilight lectures are aimed at students currently studying at Level 3, to complement their studies and/or to provide an insight into studying a range of disciplines at degree level. Please note you must be 16 years of age or over to attend this lecture.
This lecture, delivered by Dr Angus McNelly, critically analyses current attempts to tackle climate change through socio-technical shifts from fossil fuels to green technology. It demonstrates how green transitions are underpinned by material processes of extraction, as new technologies are more metal and mineral intensive than their fossil fuel counterparts. In doing so, it will make students think about the broader and sometimes hidden political and economic aspects behind the drive to cut global fossil fuel emissions. As such, it will introduce potential Business, Economics and Politics and International Relations students to how they might study one of the major societal challenges of our time.
This lecture will take place on Tuesday 19th March 5-6pm.
