We all know how nice it can be in a warm sunny greenhouse, yet our daily activities are turning Earth into a too cozy place too fast. Professor Simone Hochgreb asks what are the realistic pathways for saving ourselves from collapse, how much change and investment will that take, and can we still use fire for some things?

In the 1940s people believed the future was nuclear. Even with unprecedented technological advances, nuclear power however still only contributes for 1/6 of the worlds energy supply. With the looming climate crisis, could nuclear energy now provide a clean, sustainable energy source we all can rely on?

South Cambridgeshire District Council are pleased to announce we will be hosting a Zero Carbon Communities Workshop.
