Can the UK and the world reach net zero on time?
Is net zero by 2050 possible? What would it take to get there? On the one hand, the stock of renewable power generation and electric vehicles continues to grow rapidly; on the other hand, China continues to build new coal fired generation, citizens appear to be starting to push back against net zero policy, and the reality of reconfiguring our supply chains and the structure of the economy is starting to hit home.
Cameron has published widely on energy, resources, and environmental challenges across a range of disciplines, including engineering, biology, philosophy, economics, public policy, and law, drawing on his degrees in law, engineering, and doctorate in economics. He has served in an editorial capacity for Environmental Research Letters, the European Economic Review, and has served as the managing editor of the Oxford Review of Economic Policy. Cameron’s research is often referred to in the printed press, and he has been interviewed on television and radio in many countries. Cameron provides advice on energy and climate policy to government ministers (e.g., China, India, UK, and Australia) and international institutions (e.g., OECD, UN organizations) around the world.
