Levers for reducing emissions
We’ve seen that the only reliable way to avert climate breakdown is to rapidly reduce emissions.
In this video, climate researcher and course author Dr Jefim Vogel explores what societies can do to achieve such rapid emission reductions and introduces a powerful framework for exploring the full range of emission reduction measures. We will be using this framework throughout the rest of Week 2, applying it to different sectors, so watch carefully.
