On 17th April 2023, Christina Rehnberg was delighted to join King’s College London’s Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences for the launch of its Net Zero Centre. At the event, the institution and event attendees discussed the systems level solutions necessary to achieve net zero. The attached video takes a closer look at what net zero is and why governments and institutions all over the world are taking decisive action to achieve it.
Recognising that achieving global net zero targets demands education,
collaboration and an interdisciplinary approach, King’s College London brought
together a panel for the launch that was moderated by Professor Frans Berkhout.
As part of the panel, Christina Rehnberg was joined by the Rt Hon Chris
Skidmore, MP for Kingswood; Dr Sinead Balgobin, EPSRC’s Head of Regional Engagement;
Dr Elizabeth Rowsell OBE, Corporate R&D Director at Johnson Matthey; and
Allan Baker, the Global Head of Energy Transition for Energy+ Group at Société
Générale.
Christina Rehnberg explained that delivering on net zero strategies at
a grass roots level hinges on education and collaboration. She conceded that
there was still a long way to go but said she was hopeful, pointing out that
platforms like the Net Zero Centre were exactly the necessary catalysts.
Speaking at the event, the Rt Hon Chris Skidmore MP explained that
academia, business and policymakers must forge closer ties to deliver and
implement net zero. He suggested that it would be the work of institutions like
King’s College London’s Net Zero Centre to solve not only the technological challenges
of sustainable development but also the people and skill challenges too.
The Net Zero Centre is part of King’s College’s Climate &
Sustainability initiative, a multi-million-pound programme implemented to
accelerate the academic institution’s responses to the climate challenge in
teaching, operations and research. The centre brings together research on
sustainability from across the university to deliver tangible, real-world
technological solutions for climate change adaptation and mitigation. The attached
