What are the social impacts of the move to net zero? The view from the EPSRC Supergen Programme
The research networks of the EPSRC Supergen Programme will come together to host a webinar exploring the social aspects of the drive to net zero from the different hub perspectives (bioenergy, offshore renewables, energy networks, energy storage, solar and hydrogen).
We will go beyond the environmental impacts of net zero to look at the economic and social implications, discussing topics such as decentralised energy, rural communities, the impact of new industry and infrastructure, energy and fuel poverty, governance, jobs and just transition. Each Supergen hub will give a short presentation before we move on to a panel discussion and Q&A.
You can also access it via the Whova platform.
