We, Effective Environmentalism, are organising more upcoming talks from those tackling climate change using an EA or EA-adjacent approach. We’ve got three quite exciting talks (one rescheduled from the last round) lined up over the next three months so if anyone is interested in learning more, do sign up below. You can also see previous talks on our YouTube Channel and sign up to our newsletter (+ see other ways to get involved) here.
Sunday, January 23rd, 6-7pm GMT—Good news on climate change + what is a worst case scenario? By Dr John Halstead from Forethought Foundation. Sign up here
In this talk, John will firstly discuss some good news on climate change: on current policy, emissions look set to be lower than once feared, as is the risk of very high climate sensitivity. Secondly, John will discuss a worst-case scenario in which we burn all of the fossil fuels: how many fossil fuels are there, how likely we are to burn them, how we might do so if we did, the warming that would produce, and what that might mean for life on Earth.
Saturday, February 5th, 6:30-7:30pm GMT—The role of carbon removal in achieving climate goals—by Noah Deich, President and co-founder of Carbon180. Sign up here.
During the presentation, Noah Deich, President and co-founder of Carbon180, will talk about the role for carbon removal in achieving our climate goals, what solutions hold the most promise, and how civil society can influence the necessary policy changes for bringing carbon removal to scale in a beneficial way.
Sunday, March 13th, 7-8pm GMT—Electricity production & use in decarbonisation scenarios—by Matthew Dahlhausen from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Sign up here.
This presentation will go over basic and intermediate energy literacy, covering the electric grid, building energy services, and challenges in full decarbonisation scenarios. It will address common misconceptions around energy and electricity consumption, as well as barriers to full decarbonisation.
We’re always looking for new speakers so if you might be interested or have any suggestions for potentially interesting speakers, please comment below and let me know!
