Policy Pathways: from climate risk to policy action (online platform)

Over several weeks around COP, Kris & Lucy will be running 10 online sessions of Policy Pathways, an interactive scenario tool to explore the policy levers which policymakers can pull to accelerate the transition to net zero. The scenario tool has been developed together with Chatham House (as part of the UK China Collaboration on Climate Change Risk Assessment) and digital studio Fast Familiar. Many of these events are open to all - please click the button above to sign up. Policymakers can get in touch via climateactionunit@ucl.ac.uk to enquire about invite-only sessions.
