Forests burn, glaciers melt and one million species face extinction. Can we humans save the planet from ourselves? In a new film, alumni Sir David Attenborough and Dr Jane Goodall DBE, and leading Cambridge University researchers, talk about the urgency of the climate crisis - and some of the solutions that will take us towards zero carbon.
If we are to avoid climate disaster we must sharply reduce our carbon dioxide emissions starting today - but how? Cambridge researchers describe their work on generating and storing renewable energy, reducing energy consumption, understanding the impact of climate policies, and probing how we can each reduce our environmental impact. We hear how the ambitious new programme Cambridge Zero is bringing together ideas and innovations to tackle the global challenge of climate catastrophe - and inspiring a generation of future leaders - and how the University is looking at its own operations to develop a zero carbon pathway for the future.

We need to focus on the greatest emitters of greenhouse gases

Perhaps Cambridge Universities could demonstrate activate change by lowering the central heating thermostats inside all its University buildings....Set thermostats to 14c and advocate the wearing of jumpers...simple cheap easy carbon capture.

Can we revisit the evidence presented to the world (UN) that demonstrates CO2 emissions cause global warming please? I'm becoming confused. Thanks 😊

Plantlife needs carbon, how much would carbon have to be reduced before all the plant life died?

Our love in discovering/innovating things makes the natural world to be in hurt. And we, people, are the cause and the victims of what's happening.

Climate Change had become a world big issue merely because of business energy competition, one wants to topple down the oil and gas business, others want renewables such as battery, solar wind etc...

If we want to effectively tackle these problems, what we need is to focus only on measures that have a real impact 1) distance tax: a tax that increases the longer the goods are shipped or transported- this incentivizes a local economy and stops the mess of goods running around the world for no reason. 2) female education- the more educated the less children they will have, as overpopulation is a huge problem 3) tackle income inequality- tax the super wealthy and the multinationals, make them pay the right share, no more tax avoidance or producing in countries with lower regulations. Big companies need the most resources and make up the biggest polluters, so local and smaller is better. 4) universal basic income so people dont have "to make a living" at any cost and follow their passions- no damaging, stupid or unnecessary work 5) make hemp biodiesel (and other biodiesels) make up 30% of all fuel compulsory in the economy and make investments. Tackle food waste and make it maximal 5% of all produced. Go towards 0% fossil fuels with improved technology. Swap most plastics for hemp-derived materials 6) sustainability index- make an index of the worst environmental offender-practices. Ban those that are not needed and bring within limits those that can be made sustainable. Use taxes to incentivize/disincentivize 7) go towards a bio-adapted infrastructure such as passages for the wild under highways and so forth. Go back to natural farming, drop all intensive farming, is healthier anyway. Decrease production of animal products. Abandon chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, all not sustainable. 8) we need a working UN back in some form, to protect areas such as the amazonas and other strategically important parts of the world for the ecology. Besides that we need first nation countries to invest in countries that are lagging behind, as the investment would yield much greater results. This is a global challenge. 9) drop all the measures that wont make any difference and accept that we cant control it 100% at this point. Maybe there are some benefits in a warmer climate too.

Getting to zero carbon in near future is going to hard & not physically possible. I'm not saying I'm against reducing our carbon foot print but I'm looking at this realistic view. Solar and wind do not provide nearly enough power for the way we consume energy. Hydro electricity is great but has limits due to geographic locations. EV cars & trucks are kind of counter productive when we make our energy with 64% of fossil fuels. Nuclear power is ideal for making zero carbon energy but everyone is scared of them. Then you have countries like China , India & Russia that have either no environmental laws or very little. Focus on those countries and the way we use energy in our homes vs how to produce a very unreliable poor producing / high cost energy renewables....

The carbon emissions of all the EU and UK is 7.5%, Germany and France are the manufacturing hubs of the EU, so what is the UK carbon emissions they must be less than 3%. Why are we worrying about emissions, when China, India and the US are the biggest polluters.

Globally, the idea of Net Zero gets rather murky, as we cross economic and geographic boundaries. Is Net Zero for one and all? Well, in reality it creates little 'providence' for a vast number of people. Little does a mother of three children in Bangladesh, working twelve hour shifts for less four dollars a day, care about Net Zero, as little does Elon Musk, the billionaire technocrat, taking transcontinental flights every week - yet both emitting their 'laissez-faire' share of deadly CO2 into the atmosphere everyday. The former doing so as a matter of survival and the latter because it's business-as-usual. Regardless of our identity, and role in society, a 'climate controlled' future approaches us, faster than ever. Hope is useless without resistance. All this bright green bullshit is theory mostly.

All these things are great, BUT the amount of GHG emissions that the animals we raise and kill for food are producing is much greater. So if we want to stop or slow down global warming the first thing that needs to be done is to reduce the consumption of animal products greatly.

I fully disagreed with the zero-emission (climate change) unless mother nature like volcanoes, humans, animals, and other species will avoid farting around the world.

And Trump goes and withdraws America from the Paris agreement and rolls back 95 environmental protections and prioritizes oil and coal. I’m so disappointed in my country. Everyone please vote to protect our environment.

The climate has been warming consistently for 12,000 years ,the addition of carbon dioxide has turned over 250,000 sq acres of dessert in the Sahara into lush green farmland.If we continue improving the environment in this way we can head towards our past when the entire planet was beautiful and green not a half frozen waste.
