SHARE
With the UK Government identifying climate change and energy security as the twin priority challenges to be addressed in energy planning; engineering and technology have a major role to play in managing the risks and costs due to global climate change in an energy hungry world. Developments in technology and initiatives to mitigate and adapt to climate change are therefore required to reduce global vulnerability. This event will provide an advanced understanding and application of engineering and technology on the 21st century to climate change and its challenges and opportunities.
